I think as Paul made the original suggestion it is worth him having an opportunity to consider my points, the main one being that this meeting should be run by an impartial individual or group. My hope is that some of my suggestions make sense (even if typed badly) and the meeting goes ahead. It is hard to please everyone in terms of how the meeting is organised, how it is run and what topics are covered. Withouth dragging the timescales out and letting the stressing continue on the forum I have suggested an approach that I have seen work under similar (if anything could match up to this) conditions in the hope that if it is adopted people will see the benefits and can propose modifications that could be adopted if it's feasible in the timescales. For those that don't really know me.... I am a DSC member and have been for about 3 years I think I ride a Ducati I love bike racing I raced a ducati last year (badly) but not in DD I attend lots of club races organised by different clubs in different locations and have many friends that race in these series I have attended a couple of DD rounds where possible I have friends that race in DD but I am not actively involved. I have (and still would like to) considered racing in DD but if I do it is unlikley it will be in 2007 I believe the DSC is going through a rought patch, but it's nothing that cannot be improved if we get it right I could tell you all about my real job, but don't want to send you to sleep  |
Got your email thanks Claire. Bit lengthy to reply by a return mail probably best if I give you a call as you suggested. Maybe one person chairs the meeting and one takes the minutes, probably need to have great shorthand skills to keep up though ? How does that sound ?
Date wise we have pretty well fixed it at 18th November so it can go out in Pronto and give everyone a chance to attend who has an interest. We seriously want to listen to everyone who has a view don't we.
We have some new riders for 2007 already signed up so hopefully they will come along, would be good if they did then they could meet up with some of you old hands.
We can all work together to make this the turning point for DSC from the current problems if we approach it with open minds from all sides. I'm actually looking forward to it (my doctor has said that my medication needs reviewing though
)
