Does anyone have a solid contact inside the Department of Magical Transportation?

[WARD to MONTROSE ALL]

My family has expressed interest in coming out to the Wigtown match on Sunday. I believe some of you may have met them at the Solstice Sprint. They have a limited working knowledge of the sport, but want to come see me play to support me. Especially as they are not able to join me in Sweden.

My father is an engineer and will bore anyone and everyone with maths and physics questions about quidditch. It also my niece’s first birthday. She is adorable and may steal your birthday thunder, Florrie. I am sorry.

[WARD to AUGUSTUS PYE]

Pye, I had an interesting meeting the other day with Fraser Macmillan. I had asked if the Macmillan Foundation would be willing to support a Mental Health Practice at the Montrose Free Clinic, specializing in War Trauma. There is a lack of training programs and specialists to treat the issues are facing as a community and I think this could be a solid solution.

I know you deal in the other kind of trauma, but can you think of anyone who might be interested to sit on a committee to make this happen or even serve as director?

This is just in the idea phase right now, but there is momentum. I want to capitalize.

[WARD to MONTE & JUSTIN]

I met with Fraser Macmillan on behalf of Montrose ownership and the Macmillan Foundation. Uplift is going to be entering into a partnership with them, hopefully to start a mental health practice at the Montrose Free Clinic. I think we can all agree that this is something we need.

I have also asked that someone either among ownership or BIQL publicly come out against what happened with Flint.

If you feel comfortable, I would appreciate if you accepted the invitation. I think it could give a good amount of weight to our movement.

[WARD to DUNBAR]

I have been having some interesting conversations. What do you think QUABBLE can do to address hostile work environments in the league? Specifically with bullying among players. The Flint incident is not an isolated event, but surely there needs to be policy in place. Thoughts? Anything in the works?

	You want me on the Board. The Board of Directors. ~~But I'm too young~~ Realistically the Banchory Bangers wouldn't have a starting season for at least three years, if I'm supremely lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you don't want it, we can forget the soft ask was even made. But I think it would be a good opportunity for you, a chance to network, and help us change our future for the better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Realistically, I wouldn't imagine that I would be part of a Board of Directors until much later in life, if at all. It would have all depended on what we are doing with my grandfather's company.

I am not unopposed to the idea, but ~~I do wonder about~~ people are going to wonder with both Hermione and I on the Board. They are going to claim that we are too young, regardless of our experiences.

Too young.
Too muggle.
Too black.

I'm tired of it.

I making the rules now. I am going to pick the people I think are best for the job now and in the future. Hermione Granger brings one thing to the table. You bring a different perspective. Plus, I am pretty sure a large part of why the war was one related to the actions of school children. I don't say this as an insult, but rather fact. There was a large youth movement during the war, why should that stop there?

Just think about the offer. Nothing is being forced upon you. If you'd like to take a different role, I am happy to talk about that too.

	Great. Right now I want you to meet the others. I want to you start learning how we work. We have a few projects ongoing, let me know where you'd like to help out and please speak up if there is anything specific you'd like to pursue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. I'll bring a pen and notebook and we'll get started from there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
