so how many turnmed up at Popham this weekend? how many regularly meet other than at racing? how many post here their ramblings?

not all DD's fault no, I persoanlly agree that is has changed much of the focus of the club and not all for the worse, and there are clearly other issues which have driven peolpe away, but all the 'new blood' seems to be peolpe only here for the rtacing. With many of the old guard moving on, how can that be good for the long term DSC cause?

anyway, back to the thread from under my bridge

although everywhere is a travel for me from the south coast, I'd be happy to travel as far as the midlands, and think it fairer than somewhere furher south, but with overnights etc cost obviosuly becomes part of deciding whether to attend

Are you saying that DD is actually what's keeping the club alive?



Sorry, I'll get back to sleep

Ok folks,

I have put the promised thread up in DSC topics.

If you want this to happen then start adding your names to a list on that thread and the MT will get it organised!

Fank yoooo, Chris!

[Chris Wood]

Once again.... Easier to cut down a successful part of any club, than it is to make the effort to match it in the areas of the club you are interested in!

Save the same old responses as to why not, heard them all before.

Blame the MT.

Ask not what the club can do for you....blah...blah...blah...

oh dear.

I started reading this thread hoping to hear details of a christmas do, and the opportunity for me to come meet you nice bunch of people over a beer or 5.

Sadly its another thread full of misunderstandings and snipes at each other. Please can we just move on.

You know its not the DD or anything else thats splitting the club, its all these pointless digs.
Why can't people accept there are those of us that don't race, and those of you that do, and we all like to talk bikes, beer and bollox, in various quantities.

Can someone please pm me details of how to rejoin the club please. I feel the need to show my support once again.

Chris B, I can't find the other thread to add my name to. Is it up yet ?

lol! you lot!

ya know what? us racers (mostly male) spens practically the whole year talking racing, doing racing, fixing crashed racebikes, being at tracks and so on, and with the support of our good ladies... so its only fair that we make a bit of an effort on valentines, right??

well, no! apparently not, as NE's dinnerdance for the 2008 season was on valentines day 2009! thats some real thoughtful planning...!

so a tip to the DSC... dont make it on valentines day... spare a thought for the 'other halves' who suffer us throughout the rest of the year.

thanks for the link, That explains it.
Because I'm not a paid up member at present I cannot see the post.

It may be a daft suggestion, but why not have these events publicised outside the members only area. If I can't see what the club is up to, I can't see what I'm missing out on, and so whether I want to join or not.

Thanks anyway, I'll be rejoining shortly, so won't be a problem for me but could help attract other non members...

cheers,
John.
