Well having read front to back....twice, just in case I missed it. Not a word about last years DD. Neal Cattlins accident, Mr Appleby's and my title wins, Rons and Kevs throwing it away etc, etc. but Mr T getting engaged, got some page space.

Thats disapointing, even if something had been copied off of the forum would have been better than nothing. The ammount of times I've been told its the clubs race series yet the clubs magazine gives little or no coverage

Seems people are happy to update Wikipedia and post loads on facebook but send nothing in to Pronto

As per my post up there ^^ I'm more than happy to include articles that are sent to me via the pronto@ducatisportingclub.com email address - it is the magazine written by the members for the members after all - but if you don't send them I can't include them!

Ant, JT didn't write in about his engagement, or did he.

We have an open position for Pronto Editor if you would like to volunteer?

Presumably someone other Antony could have written an article about DD if it was so important?

Thumbs up

I've put up a post in the Pronto section requesting articles for Issue # 47, so if anyone would like to contribute, please feel free!

I have mine, I thought it was a good read.

As stated above, if people want more DD content, then someone needs to write it, but it can't be too topical because of the time frames involved - how about a newcomer to the series/racing telling his or her story? Something uplifting and motivational that might encourage others to enter?

I think you find all the DD goings on on Facebook these days, not in Pronto or on the forum
I Popped into Donington yesterday on the way back from a job
6 DD bikes out testing but not a mention on the site of how things went.
