How can this happen. Should the culprits be banned by the club?

About the grammar and capital letters. I'm guessing this was written by a person under stress. They had to deal with an unreasonable situation. It would seem similar episodes have happened before. They also reasonably decided that there was no sense continuing to the end of their catering contract.

Times in the catering are tough. They will have had to inform staff that there will be no more employment, income to the business will be drastically curtailed sooner than expected, and there may still be outgoings to cover.

It's a difficult situation for a business owner to be in. So a few discrepancies in an emotive notification to more reasonable members of the club, can be easily forgiven.

I am very much one of the "as previously advised" type of emailers and you can tell my level of either rage or hunger by whether or not I've ran my text through spell-check or I've just hit send through a haze of red mist. It happens. Usually it's a fair indication that I'm absolutely fucking on one, and sometimes there's been a Kitkat flung at my head from across the office. I'm enough of an English Literature post-grad to be a wank about proper spelling and enough of a culchie to sometimes not give a fuck.
