Sorry Glyn, I can't see why you'd be in the club if you didn't want to put something in to it... you already have done so on many occasions.
Bear in mind that by turning up for just one rideout or meeting or track day you've accomplished that task.
Putting something in can be as simple as taking part, either on the web or in person.
If no-one did either of these things I don't think that the club would remain "in business" for long.
Just my thoughts.....

The above is all crap and invention so disregard it completely. I'm actually one of life's takers so where's my next pronto, my next rideout ........

There should be no obligation to put in, perhaps just a realisation that if nobody puts in, nothing comes out; the Club goes nowhere. Given the members that we have I would say that will never happen.

I am only here for the free coffee, - thanks webby, - see you do put something in.

I don't think what JFK said about America applies to this or any other club to be honest. I'd prefer that the MT, whoever is on it, stayed in touch with the membership in a way that meant they knew what folk wanted and found ways to ensure the club provided it.

It's no good saying that because only about 100 paying members post regularily on this messageboard that somehow it holds little value - look at the hits this site receives and you'll see what a teriffic shop-window it is for the club and for Ducati. What we need to do quickly is move back to being recognised as a club for Ducati owners offering as much as possible in terms of what that population needs. Check out the Home page which simply says:

"You're here...
homepage of the Ducati Sporting Club UK

WHY?

Because you want to ride, attend events,do some travelling and track days, get some good deals and meet up with people like yourself who want a new style of Ducati Club for the modern Ducati owner"

So on my wish list for 2006 is anything that gets the club closer to the members, that encourages positive change and ensures that everything we offer is as good as it can be.
