so let me get this right, on the night before the largest round on the DD calender as far as supporters go all of the riders will be "elsewhere" ??

So everyone who has responded says they will be at Brands and would be happy to see you and other supporters and that's not good enough for you? What exactly do you want then?

Lizzie,

I think you have the "tone" of this wrong, maybe everything I type should contain smileys from now on, I just find it odd that the likeliehood is the majority of people won't be around for a chunk of the evening, and lets be honest, I imagine with the agenda being as important as it is for DD 2006 that this meeting is likely to take longer than anticipated.

The Brands round from the very beginning has been touted as "the" round to be at, local circuit, largest turn out etc etc ...

I just think the club may be missing the opportunity to make this one of "the" events of the DD & DSC year to date.

I know I've been looking forward to it.

so whats going on then.??? where are we all meeting.?

[dickieducati]

it is always difficult to get everyone together pre race as people turn up at different times, stay at different places, maybe in a rush to get set up set etc.

i have mentioned it before, but how about getting outside caterers in to do a bar b q after the races, say, 5 o'clock?

all the racers will be there and most spectators should be able to hang around for an hour or 2?

whoever did the food at the apex trackdays did a good job.

one plate of grub and a beer/wine/soft drink per member?

got to be worth it for a caterer? 50+ meals in an hour or so.

i dare say you'll get the 'thats unfair spending club money on something i cant get to' etc but you cant please all the people all the time.

if it was my call thats what i'd do.

sounds like a good idea to me Dickie..!.....even if you said 6 or 7 to give people a chance to set up etc..your idea is a good one..................

Phil

Pete Fordie does have the big BBQ im sure he would be more than happy to loan it to the cause and set up shop for peeps to bbq ..........

its an option..?

it is but its a bit of fanying about, surely we as a club can stump up a few quid for a brbie at the biggest DD round of the year?

makes sense to me...but i guess from the struggling to get numbers on the TA5 and the DSC dinner and dance.....finances may not stretch....

Still a good idea to get us all together for a few jars n food.
