Not consulting anyone sounds like some sort or autocracy or puppet leader not sure which.

Are you saying that Chris consults the MT on every Treasury issue?

or Lizzie does the same when a new member comes along?

Come on Ray, you're picking silly holes.

Is this some sort of initial sounding with a view to declare independance from the club that resourced the set up of the championship?

I'm not even going there.

What do mean by "Full time" as in paid for job? if so who picks up the wage bill, employing someone is a whole different ball game.

or do you mean no other DSC responsibilities?

The latter.

Whichever it is I suspect their workload would reduce greatly as soon as the "question machine" was offline!

Turn the forum off then!

Like I said yesterday "high maintenance"

Ray.

Thanks for your input. Very useful indeed.

Why cant there be one person on the RC who is elected by the Riders in the DD........??..major issues are polled and riders consulted.?..majority rules...


that person then only has the DD to worry about.?...and not have a split personality over DSC and DD issues that sometimes are not the same..!!...not suggesting a split from dsc merely suggesting the possibilty to of load some of that burden from the RC who as dom has said other responsibilites.?..

no.?

surely 1 person acting with the riders interests with no other responsibilties is better positioned to negotiate and drive proactivetly the series forward.....

I agree we are part of dsc no matter what anyone says or does. I do see a need to allow the dsc members time to do their dsc work whilct one individual could be left to the day to day running of dd. Seems simple ?

You need to get out more

No are you??

Come on Ray, you're picking silly holes.

Picking holes I am, whether they are silly or not is a subjective judgement based on a point of view.



I'm not even going there.

Is that a yes or no?


The latter.

Sensible


Turn the forum off then!

The one you set up or this one??

Thanks for your input. Very useful indeed.

It was no trouble, thank you for thanking me,

Thank You again,

Ray

• 6 UK rounds - 12 races
• 1 Assen round - no points
• No 'long' race
• ALL points to count
• 1 person to run the series
• Trophies - yes please

Domfli,

Don't be so hard on yourself, there's some good suggestions there.

I have another completely unrelated question that I won't clutter this thread with.

Ray.

• Rules for bike to be unchanged- Yes
• Rules for riders: take a look at the rider eligability please & the need to MAKE the top 3 in the 583 'move up' as at present - not good for encouraging some to try for top 3 in their 1st year on limited funds!
• NO 695's - Agreed
• 6 UK rounds - 12 races - yes
• 1 Assen round - no points - yes again (get prizes instead, I did offer to do that for this year)
• No 'long' race - totally agreed
• ALL points to count - no, drop one race, will encourage new riders to come out and play again next time in this club series.
• 1 person to run the series - yes (can we ask someone like Jools to do this?) but keep 2 rider reps.
• Trophies - yes please
• Confirmation of rounds: Get NE to put in writing that we do CLUB rounds ONLY, and therefore they ensure a 10 min untimed practice at each & every round.
• Voting: If really necessary, then ONLY done at prizegiving by a show of hands, not by email in a very small time frame (usually 3 - 5 days) as at present, though email to be sent out with time to think on forthcoming vote.
• Rider Reps: To be confirmed by the 1st of Jan

This is from us both, as have been giving this some deep thought in the last few weeks.

hay thats good i like it. i think we got the basics here. i think the prizes for assen need to be something bike related like a new set of tyres.

Basically, wot CK/AK said. I accept we're unlikely to get split grids, doesn't bother me, I'll race with the 620s or with CB500s, not got a problem.

Number of meetings - 6 plus Assen sounds good, start in April, one a month to October. All points scoring or drop one, no preference.

Rules unchanged, no 695s for 2007, if anybody really wants to race a 695 they meet all the entry criteria for minitwins, where they should be competitive. I don't believe the series can support three classes, if a 695 class is introduced which class is axed to make way? If 583 is axed there'll be a lot less riders in the series, and fewer new entries to the series. If 620s are axed there'll be some very unhappy competitors who've invested heavily in their bike.
