so if a " DSC" member but not a DD racer?sponsor has an opinion or an idea then that has to be listened to by the MT/RC even though they have not directly supported the DD other than with there 25 quid membership fee...?


From what i understood no club funds have ever been used to set up DD.!

ANY ideas should be considered by the MT/RC shouldn't they?
You never know, it might be a good idea.

If no club funds were ever used - what is the '£1025 - Cost of DesmoDue' quoted in the 2005 Financial Review, by David B Burnie, 14/02/06 - viewable on the Members Area?

I don't have a problem as such - but let's not forget that the ordinary DSC members have contributed to your series.

Folks,

I gave the treasurers presentation at the AGM this year and whilst I dont have the details to hand at the moment, from memory not only diid we contribute towards the Ducati Truck at Bands, we had to provide racers with stickers for the series, we incurred costs for end of year trophies, etc.

All of this was passed by the auditor and the AGM.

So yes the full membership did contribute to DD in the 1st year, just as the Club will be providing some of the trophies for this year at the Dinner Dance.

Overall Desmo Due is a small cost item to the Club, there is no income stream attached to it, unless we were to levy an entry fee of some sort from each rider.

This is the bit that I don't recall, and it seems that Ian wasn't aware of this either by his post above. Sorry Ian, I don't mean to pick on you or the decision I'm just trying to point out what appears to be a lack of clarity/communications on this.

When I asked the question at the AGM Chris you told me that the money in the accounts attributed to DD was for the DUK truck - nothing else. You didn't mention the stickers etc and I recall being told by either yourself or Monty at the start of last season that all the stickers were supplied by the sponsors themselves - why would we pay sponsors to ride with their stickers?!

I don't consciously contribute in any way shape or form, but - if the MT spends money from club funds, then I do by default. I have the choice to leave the club if I don't like the way the MT spends the money.

Luckily, as I've said on numerous occasions - I'm more than happy with the way the club is run, with how my £20 is spent etc. and I'm not complaining, but if it is still a DSC series, with DSC funding, then surely the views of DSC members need to be heard.
