Dum de dar, dum de dar, dum de dar...,Not listening, not listening...not listening (stifles a short sob):(

HELLO !
CAN YOU HEAR ME WITH YOUR FINGERS IN YOUR EARS ?
THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR BRANDS TOMORROW IS LOVELY !
SORRY, WHATS THAT ?
YOU CANT MAKE IT ?
:D:P
(sorry kb)

think I might chuck my leathers n stuff in the car as I am popping in after my London meeting...what are the chances of blagging a ride on someones bike d'yer reckon......:saint:

so what hapened did we manage an extra 20 bookings.

looked like more than 67 bikes there to me?

Bungi,

I got my £20 cashback...I had to wrench it out of Chris's hand :sing::sing:

My mate Scott also got his but will be spending that on some bits to repair his 748R after a tarmac/gravel/medical centre incident at Druids! He's OK though.

Get onto Mr Bushell and claim that cash!! :sing:

I had a brilliant day out!

R X

:puzzled: Are you sure it wasn't just a wind up?

Absolutely not - claim that crisp twenty spot back!
If you don't want it, send it to me!!! :D:D

R X (Robin Hood)

Well, I u2u'd Chris yesterday at 3pm. Awaiting a reply.

I won't bother claiming my £20 back, the club needs it far more than I do.
I hope I don't stand alone on this :)

:saint:

Mmmmm.....I'm not sure my non-Ducati riding mate that isn't a member of this club (that I persuaded to come along to bump the numbers up) will feel the same way.

I can see your point Wylie. Maybe I should have said I hope other members will stand by me on this:)

I'm with you Jon,

I paid my money at the asking price, had a great day, and I'm happy...

i am disapointed with the lack of offical response from the club on this £20 refund business, no one seems to be responding to my emails at the club at the moment re the refund.

why didnt they hand out the £20 notes on signing on?:puzzled:

seems to me that they are just sticking their ghead in the sand and hoping it goes away.:mad:

My perspective is, that i booked 2 days before the day influanced by this thread. seemd good value to me @ £120.
wasnt easy to get the time off work etc etc. and it looked like there would be enough interest to get the reduced price for everyone. great i thought!!

it is clear that some people dont need the money, and would like to donate it to the club thats fine with me but it shouldnt mean that the club withdraw the offer to others who wish to hold them to the bargin.

i really cant see how the club can justify paying some people the money back on the day, but not others. seem to me to be a small minority of peolpe that have had the £20 refund.

although im a member
perhaps im not part of the Clique, :o

if thats how it is keep it along with next years membership

I'm sure if you just send chris an email - he'll refund you. In fact I'm certain he will.

Hope you had a good day Bungi.

Chris has responded since ive posted this and is forwarding a chq.
fairplay,




il go pick up my dummy now!!!

Totally agree - Chris, if you're out there, keep me £20, I booked in good faith for the full amount, had a fantastic time (as did everyone else judging by the TA5 thread) and well worth the money - AND I'd prefer the club stay profitable so that there are more days like that next year:)

Ian

PS: Just make sure you organise the weather as well next time too:D

Same here fellas. I would prefer it to stay with the club so that there is more in the kitty to reduce the overall loss on the day!

Nice one fellas

I think it would prove useful to publicise the amount that the club faces to lose over this particular day and then people can chose to either let it stay where it is or ask for their £20.

This day was booked at the request of club members and as such I think that as the members themselves did not support this event we should do all we can to minimize the distinct possibility that Brands will not be considered as a future venue. I can understand that some people thought that October was not the best time of year to host a club TD and maybe in hindsight it should have been arranged two or three months previously

Just my 2 cents worth.

Murray Mint

Put my £20 back in the club funds:cool:

"maybe in hindsight it should have been arranged two or three months previously"

It was actually the earliest date I could get mate-I didn't want to have one in October but was being pressurised by members to do a Brands day.

To answer the other point Trackdays have this year lost the club slightly less than £3,000 this year-we usually make a small profit on them-not a dam great loss.:(

John

i dont like to see the club at a loss , especially when trying to meet the needs of the members.

perhaps the track day thing need to be be re-examined, in trems of how the club go about it.

do the DSC really need to put themselves in a position where they are so vulnerable to loss. i cant help thinking of ESS goinig bust, although they were trying to create a track day revolution.

has it been considered, DSC working in partnership with a track day company such as no limits or focused events for example, and a bulk purchase of places for members where DSC could profit say £20 or so on each rider and perhaps still pass on a small saving on the usual price to members?
