Groaner is bad for one making arrangements (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

organiser

'one making arrangements' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'groaner is bad' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'groaner'+'is'='groaneris'
'groaneris' anagrammed gives 'ORGANISER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for organiser that I've seen before include "Manager" , "Maker of arrangements" , "bound to keep personal data" , "Runner" , "One making arrangements" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
