..but thats not work! do as I say not as I do....:devil:

You forgot Historical Tours of Winchester Paul:lol:

People like Roy and PeteB, Henners, Fordie and the like have organised regional meets for years. People like Skidlids and Senna have gone out of their way to travel to such diverse meets as BHC, Berks, Hants, Surrey, Kent and Sussex. People like AK/CK/Nelly and many more have gone out of their way to make sure that both club members and their bikes have a safe smooth journey through the miles clocked up over the years. People like the MT put themselves out to run the club to the best of their ability and put up with our moans and groans when it's not perfect. People like Eamonn, TP and Flanks spend a lot of time keeping this website going for the benefit of the 100 or so club members (and dozens of non-paying non-members) that frequent this site. People like MW, Monty and CB go to a lot of trouble ensuring that we have a race series orientated in such a way that any club member can feel safe entering racing for the first time ever. People like Mav, giving of their own free time and pocket, to people they may only hear about or get an occasional, cheeky post from on the message board.

To all of you, on behalf of all the people like me that make use of every single one of those benefits and have very little to offer or time to give anything back, I salute you!
Thank you :)

Snails and frog legs. If needed I can even burn a car or two.

:D

I wanted to organise a DSC trip to France (country of the best snails, forg legs and burned cars), but first I must put my road bike back on the road and ride with a few DSCers, just to see if I could follow them on my roads... :)

At the end of the day ,"What you put in is what you take out" much like a bank account. First , You can only put in what you can afford, take too much out and not only do you upset the balance but the Missus give you a slapping, not that Im agin to a good slapping you understand. I have been down the road of raising a family and understand how difficult it can be to get "time out" some times and have a bit of fun with the lads. Often I think I would love to be out ever week end but I know that is just not fair or feasable. So "what you can do" has a limit to some degree. So long as people feel they are part of the team to me thats all that is reguired, team or regional spirit has shown to reap benefits as to the turn out at events . I think that is the one key I would confess to be trying to achieve. So far it been a uphill struggle trying to get those in the BHC to order :lol: Ill just have to work a little harder. 4D

What can I put in-hmmm, well with 4 trackdays to organise this year, and I seem to be helping to run DesmoDue again, and a bit of MT stuff-like the 9 hour meeting we had today-I'm not sure I have time to do a lot else................
But I do know my way round the 'Ring-well a small part of it anyway.

Don't worry Mav me old mate-the MT will be in touch.
Generous offer by the way-so no-one needs to ask what you put in.

Main thing I try to put in is giving people the opportunity to meet up,talk bikes and ride their pride and joys:cool::cool:

I'm not sure what the Aims and Objectives of the Club are but I think the club is about giving and receiving: (where and when you can)
Help, support, camaraderie, advice, friendship, knowledge, skill and experience.

but the flip side is
we pay our membership to a national club in order to get some thing
not just to say we are in the dsc
i agree that the more you put in the more you get out, but there should be no obligation to do so
