Considering all the work ive put in, sorting the indoor venue and carting stuff about and being there to help set up and put away since its inception.. it would have been nice to be asked!!
Who were the original people?? Me, Stu, Roger... The helpers were Bri Roper, Pete Byron, Stu Hurley, Mike Bradbury, Mike Pimlott... sorry if ive missed anyone else but you know who you are..
Its great the club have got lots of active members  the club is going from strength to strength... im just a tad put out!! |

First let me say I appreciate all the organizing and transporting you have done for the Chadderton venue and this is reflected by your free racing. (You may also remember you won a raffle on your first meeting)
Throughout my 26 years (approximately,) of racing, 19 at committee level, I have found no matter how many people turn up for indoor events it does not improve summer attendances. And it is Club member numbers and attendances that local authorities base their worth for the clubs existence. Our club constitution says we are an off road buggy club with facilities OUTSIDE at the Goshen. Even running a National does not increase the numbers turning up on a club day.
The club does not have "lots" of active members. Last year we had 11 plus Stuart and myself. Currently we have 11, Stuart and me with Andy and Tyson as committee members.
Generally a committee is elected from members of the club and voting also by members.
It was at an informal meeting amongst members that Tyson and Andy volunteered.
We run six meetings through the winter but about twenty six through the summer and on average get about a dozen racing outdoors. Computer records show you raced one Regional and one club meeting on 26april at Bury and it’s for this reason you were not considered.
