These things have a way of getting out though Chewy... Maybe not today or tomorrow but they come out.
I pot the club often because it deserves it often but also think I can see other sides of issues.
Surely we wouldn't be that dickish would we?.
Sounds like you are saying we are.
It's not about being "dickish" as you put it - but the Club would never go to the family in the first place if their intention wasn't to use that number going forward.
So when you reverse engineer things from that perspective, it's easy to see how it would have played out. I have no doubt the Club would not have used the number if the family objected strongly, but I also don't think the situation would have played out in such a way that a proper discussion was had.
Again, if there was no intention on the Club's behalf to use said number, there would be no reason to initiate that conversation with the family in the first place.
