Hello folks, been a busy day at work for me (oh and 3 hours on the bike commuting
)
Subject to the date being ok I am happy to chair the meeting if requested.
I have just spent 2 hours typing a 4 page message to PJ with my suggestions for organising and running the meeting. I think as Paul made the original suggestion it is worth him having an opportunity to consider my points, the main one being that this meeting should be run by an impartial individual or group.
My hope is that some of my suggestions make sense (even if typed badly) and the meeting goes ahead.
It is hard to please everyone in terms of how the meeting is organised, how it is run and what topics are covered. Withouth dragging the timescales out and letting the stressing continue on the forum I have suggested an approach that I have seen work under similar (if anything could match up to this) conditions in the hope that if it is adopted people will see the benefits and can propose modifications that could be adopted if it's feasible in the timescales.
For those that don't really know me....
I am a DSC member and have been for about 3 years I think
I ride a Ducati
I love bike racing
I raced a ducati last year (badly) but not in DD
I attend lots of club races organised by different clubs in different locations and have many friends that race in these series
I have attended a couple of DD rounds where possible
I have friends that race in DD but I am not actively involved.
I have (and still would like to) considered racing in DD but if I do it is unlikley it will be in 2007
I believe the DSC is going through a rought patch, but it's nothing that cannot be improved if we get it right
I could tell you all about my real job, but don't want to send you to sleep
