Well not quite,..as I typed a long winded reply and it got lost in cyberspace.
Anyway the abridged version is that I voted yes to joining the DSC.

In a nutshell:-

Great club,great people for frankly laughably low cost.

The Management Team seem to make stuff happen but are paranoid about dissent. Debate is good. Control freakery is bad.

Pronto is frankly a joke. If members wanted a paper based membership magazine they would support it and write articles for it. The absence of copy speaks volumes. The amount spent on Pronto based on last years accounts when the club can't be at risk funding trackdays etc is unbelievable. The recent edition took about three minutes to read and contained little that had not been aired on the Board and at rideouts etc months ago. Lilys comments are enlightening. There is a strong whiff of sentimentality about this whole Pronto debate. It should be replaced with a cheaper more modern equivalent and the money diverted to better uses.

On balance great club but it needs to think through its real purpose in life (and no thats not the same as proposing a new constitution).
