Sorry but that is just rubbish.
Never is a very long time, longer than any BRCA rep or club chairman can determine!
Not in the foreseeable future - that I can believe, but never is too far.
For a start - BMRCC isn't really one thing. Its a group of members and a track, both of which are by their nature fluid. At present, our track lacks key facilities, we had holes in the organisation and some rowdy members. So no, I wouldn't give us a National either.
BUT
We have a new team in charge, we are upgrading the facilities, and our membership is growing and developing all the time.
In short our only real connection to the old BMRCC is the name.
If we address all the issues presently barring us, then the BRCA will have to consider any application ON MERIT. Their charter simply does not allow anything else.
Admittedly I doubt the North West would get two Nationals, so the only way we'd get one is by being a better venue than Southport, which is a tall order, but it is plainly and simply NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
As for the rest:
There is no point those who did not attend moaning. Yes not everyone can make it, I get that, but several who couldn't asked others to present their views, so if you didn't do that its your problem. Besides, some of those people had recently prior to the AGM claimed they were quitting anyway!
We are a club, and as such we are funded and driven by our members. ALL OUR MEMBERS, old and new. We have a lot of new members. This might upset some of the older members, but the truth is if 2 or 3 of them decide to go to Southport instead its a price worth paying if we gain 10 new regulars in their place. I rather we didn't lose anyone, but since you can't please everyone all of the time, I'll opt for most people most of the time.
This club is not the exclusive playground for a small group of people and they need to stop acting like it is.
BTW Nobody is 'hiding' behind this account (Its Si this time) - its been created for moderating this section.
Now I'm locking this thread and want to hear no more of this.
If you have no useful positive contribution to make to this club GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
