... you think wrong. If you care about the club then it matters. I care very deeply because I worked very hard to make the club a success.

I may. But I'm open to be convinced that I'm wrong. Are you?


We just don't perceive what is a club in the same way. For me it's only an association of people. And the association itself doesn't matter at all, for me only its people do. A club must go in the way which helps its people enjoying what they want to enjoy, and from my point of view that's what it does.


And do you think it's not? I think the result is a success. If you invested so much in the club, why are you not a member of it? Why wouldn't you recommend it to people? To me there is nothing wrong with that club... But I may be blind and daft.

You are neither blind or daft. There is a lot of history here and it is not unusual that clubs develop in this way. This club came from another due to disenchantment and refusal to change.

This is the first and last club I will be a member of - I resigned on a point of principle and when I asked to be reinstated temporarily to complete a piece of work that had been agreed the MT voted no.

I agree with you that the club doesn't matter its the people who do, and thats why I stay a member of this board. I have many people I care about here and this is one of the easiest ways to remain in touch.

So clubs aren't my scene however messageboards and the opportunities they offer to be informed, amused and involved are :)

printed form, filled it all in, wrote cheque, put all in envelope, going to post it right now !

thanks guys (n gals ?)

see you in the members section soon !

G

Youll be ready for your initiation ceremony then..........belts off, trousers down...isnt life a scream!

I voted you should join, which may appear hypocritical as I have not renewed my membership, but historionics apart I feel that it is still a good environment for middle of the road Ducatisti to enjoy their pastime and meet lots of likeminded people ...... don't be drawn into any debate that involves the MT and you have much less chance of being abused and villified for having contencious or challenging views ..... do as Fordie and many like him do, enjoy it for what it is and leave the rest to someone else .... enjoy ... :)

that sounds like fun, I may re-join :p

Dibs ..
 

.. you've already been there :lol:

Seems like some people have found a cheap supply of sour grapes that they haven't told us 'members' about, are they on offer at Tesco?

They may be on offer, but i'll give it a miss if i may.
