Paul has partly answered it but not confirmed that there are no financial implications.

Please note this isn't a dig at DD or the MT, I'm fully aware that its a well supported part of this club, its simply trying to get an understanding of what the implications are.

The Club is carefull to ensure that we do not give any financial guarentees regarding grids on DD.

We certainly haven't or intend for 2007 to commit any Club funds in support of DD to New Era.

The side issue on this will be the Assen round, where the Club will probably purchase a grid on behalf of the riders, this makes sense from an Admin point of view. BUT WE WILL HAVE ALREADY COLLECTED THE MONEY FROM THE RIDERS

So there should be no concerns from the general membership
