In a shock move the Smalltown Culture and Arts Manager Debby Karmary has announced her departure from the White Elephant Enclosure.
In an email to Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Councillors the SCAM said “I have enjoyed my time at the WEE, although I spent most of it sat at home with my feet up.
It has been great working with the different Councillors over the last three years, none whom have had the first idea about running a business and even less idea about running a White Elephant Enclosure and you’ve mostly left me to my own devices and paid me a wodge of money for nothing, for which I thank you.
The facts are that, even with the best will in the world, no one can make a financial success of the WEE and to expect anyone to be able to generate enough money to pay their own salary is ridiculous.
I believe that I achieved a great deal during my tenure. I steered the WEE through the difficult Corvid pandemic – when the WEE was closed, oversaw the introduction of the new seats which everyone complains are uncomfortable, massaged figures to make the WEE look a success, and encouraged SaDTC to employ someone else to do the part of my job I couldn’t be bothered to do. I simply can’t do more.
Therefore I feel the time has come to say ‘So long, suckers’.”
A spokesstapler for Smalltown and Dullbridge Town Council said “We are sorry to have received our SCAM’s resignation and wish her all the very best in the future. She has done a lovely job at the White Elephant Enclosure and we will miss her online Boom contributions to the staff room chats.
The WEE Mismanagement Committee will now scratch their heads and ask ‘What are we going to do now? Do we know anyone who can write a business plan for the future? Won’t somebody please help us?’.”
Ms Karmary was the fourth person employed by Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council to try to make a silk purse out of an elephant’s ear in the ten years since Squire Teflon saved the premier venue for the nation.
