SNETTERTON DESMO DUE WEEKEND
 
I have already posted on the dsc events board but thought that I would also air this here.

The snetterton track day is in danger of being canceled due to poor numbers of bookings. For the racers out there It would be mad to do a practice and 5 sessions and then a half hour race but I and many others could do with more practice to gain circuit knowledge. It would make sense to share a booking and get more track time but not wear ourselves out

I will be booking and trying to persuade my brother to take a share of the time!

I can only echo Dave's comments above, we really do need more people to book for this day to ensure that it actually happens.

You can do a track day on a saturday, lie back and watch the DD boys doing their thing, all without having to take a day off work

You know it makes sense!

Is it really open to non DSC members, if that is the case I will fire off a couple of emails to some mates that I was talking to about it earlier but I told them they had to be club members, even then they were considering joining the DSC just to get the trackday.

Nice one Scott - see you there :D

Ok folks, I have made a couple of calls to try and gain some agreement to what is necessary to make these things happen.

In order to comply with VAT rules for the Club, events such as trackdays have to be open to members of the Club only and not the general public.

As such and to ensure that this event goes ahead we are going to be a little creative:

1) In the event that two riders wish to share a bike, as long as the 1st rider is a member of the Club and enters the bike, then the 2nd rider does not have to be a member.

2) In the event of them being friends of a member (Skidlids option) then the member must enter the bike on their behalf, listing them as riders.

Thus everyone is a member for a day by means of association. All riders will need to attend briefing, sign-on, etc; but they decide between themselves how much track time they do.

We very much want this event to happen but we need URGENTLY to get the numbers up to a finacially viable level, please get booking.

Chris
