True, it's a bit hard to find. Then again, on the other hand, if one is bang in to 1/10th leccy buggies, they probably end up here eventually, and judging by the swathes of people not really interested in going that far south, then Ian and Jules may as well call it a day and pack it in. Another one bites the dust
.
Other nails in the coffin include the tyre additive smelling hall dwelling 1/12 folks down at Wickham village hall, If they had any imagination, they would get themselves an off road buggy and come race in the summer.
The other thing is, racing every week. Most clubs I know of, have an actual race date, whereby everyone involved knows which sunday to attend, thus you get all the people that week, rather than 3 one week and 4 the next.
It's a shame, but I think that 1/10th off road is dead on the south coast, we have the club, but noone to attend. I was hoping that when the on road (cough) club shut down in Burselden, that we might have soaked up some of the fallout, alas no.
My last nugget comes from the frustration that neither Jules or Ian appear to put themselves out to get on the internet and try and promote the place themselves, I can post 2 minute videos on the internet till the cows come home but if the actual chairman cant be arsed to promote his own club, then what hope is there, lets be fair about this. I even asked Colin of RCKingdom to set up a mini forum for the club on his own website, it had a few people post, only two of which were from members of the club, myself and Jon Wolfe, it's still up, no posts for about a year. I was hoping that interest would pick up since it's existence is now known to the 1/10th masses due to the power of Oople, get some new regular blood down there, then stage a mutiny to see If I could do the job with a bit more gusto, but since there isn't, I wont.
