Hmmm im certainly not disrespecting you for where you choose to drive Dave, that was honestly just jesting with you... If i have offended you for that then i apologise.

In a past life as a wanabee tennis player I spent years playing anywhere where i could get the best competition that i felt would improve my game - anywhere in the UK, and often over in France to get claycourt experience. But i never forgot where i lived, I represented my Club & County when i could sometimes sacrificing bigger tournaments, even if the competition was not as strong as i wanted it to be. Not unlike your driving situation i think ?

Im just making the point that with talent such as yourself, Griff & Craig to name the three 'big' names, surely we should be making use the names & reputation of people such as yourselves to make Welsh Buggy Racing more popular again ? And maybe encourage younger drivers to take over your mantles in the future ? How many youngsters do we see these days that stick at it ? Most of the people down Caldicot are mostly 25+, some, ahem, even more... Not particulary good for the future of the sport ?

I still feel im right about the WRCA site & forums though. Maybe a good idea is to get the Forums up and running again and get people to put ideas together ? Or at least to 'centralise' ideas rather than being spread out everywhere ?

I also agree with DCM's ( Steve is it ? Sorry i dont think we've met ? Hello ) idea of a stricter structure might also bear fruit - would a seperate electric buggy committee be an plausable idea ? In my experience a committee running 2 or 3 sections within the one committee is largley controlled by the majority of one section... by the sounds of it, that could be the case here ? Its either biased heavily towards one section or there are so many compromises no-one is happy... Been there, done that, got the bruises !

Hmmm i think i may end up upsetting the applecart here a bit, if anyone thinks im going over the top just say so and ill shut up.

Maybe
