Wicked! Thanks mate, see you there :devil:

I thought to qualify for the race fund entry at Donington you had to be a paid up member on a certain date.

Hmmm, maybe you're right. Wonder it still holds http://217.199.188.40/xmb/viewthread...10651#pid89851

David Cook will clarify surely.

i've sent a u2u to David Cook but according to the thread you linked to, I do not qualify for help. :(

After voting for the race fund at the AGM and then putting a lot of ideas forward to do with it, I can't say its turning out as I expected. The idea was to have a comittee which I understood I was part of but I have never been consulted about it once my ideas had gone in.
Can somebody on the management team actually tell me how much was set aside for the fund and how it was intended to be used.

Fully agree, weeksy.

eObviously, the reason that the sponsorship arrangements were designed only to apply to Members before the announcement i.e. as at 1st July 2004, was to stop anyone taking advantage of the Club.

It would be easy to join for the £20+£5 fees and get £100+ straight back!

I am not saying for a minute that this is the case here but I have no way of judging that for myself.

Steve's point about Jen joining before she knew about potential sponsorship is certainly valid and I shall be writing to all Henners' original Academy contributors for their opinion before we decide.

Oh and welcome aboard desmojen (do you know what you're getting into girl?) :devil:

I don't think it is for you or I to say what is and isn't harsh on this matter, I was at the AGM for the vote and remember some of the concerns. It is for Management to decide taking into account the views of the club membership and the rules for the fun that were decided upon.

Should I send out invites to this lot some of which are mates that race Ducatis others are guys I have met through racing, some who already know about it as they visit the board.

Sorry to be causing a disturbance here fellas, I must admit I was surprised to think that I could join and get help just like that, for the same reasons that David has quoted.
I leave it in your capable hands.
It would certainly be nice to see some Ducatis up the sharp end in the race, we don't really see that too often with all those goddamn gixxers out there!
P.S. Thanks for the support Weeksy! :burn:
