Dear Tony,
I am not trying to 'carry on' here but I do feel the need to explain myself as it seems you (and others) don't understand where I'm coming from...

Unlike some (or so it would seem) I do not take offence easily, and yes you are right, I don't "know" anyone here. I've come back to this hobby after a gap of 27 years (a couple of years back). This lack of knowing is at least part of the reason why I've been asking people to let me know what they've been saying, to whom "behind the scenes".

I fully accept that you (and others) don't agree with my view, but the initial 'dismissal' of my concerns kinda struck a chord with me. Especially as these were wrapped up in a tone of 'we know more than you'. Yet everywhere I look on your section and SHRCCC I see disgruntled members talking about it.

Again, I know you disagree with me, but to me, something as big an upset that this situation 'could' be, is something that each clubs membership should have a say on (in my opinion). Yet when you dig a little it appears as tho' certain things have 'already' been decided without members involvement. Like I said right at the start on the other thread, as I see it, clubs are there for their membership and not the other way around. I've not been accusing anyone of behind the scenes talking, that was a quote from what 'someone' said themselves that they had been involved in...

I maybe wrong but to me when things are said like I quoted before about 'arrangements' with BBK etc and 'dislike' of MRT, I have to ask if MRT were involved in any discussions too to try to solve this. It appears not, again, as I know nothing, I ask why not talk with MRT too? As yet no-one has replied...

I fully agree its a bad situation Pip, I just don't understand why or how things have been decided as quickly as they apparently have without trying to consult 'everyone'...

I hope for us all that whatever happens, we don't lose racers and club members.. As this (and ALL of us) is what makes this hobby...

Good luck...
