Scottish 1/10th offroad AGM

[bigchris]

I can attend this , and would prefer this as I can't make Saturday

[Mr Eccleston]

Guys, keep an eye on this forum tonight, I've tried to contact John this morning but no reply. Next week is no good for a number of racers either. At the moment I've no idea if the AGM is on tomorrow, next week or some other time in the future.

Hopefully once we have a committee/team this won't happen.

Derek you have had replies from me as I've been texting you all day with regards to this so do not belittle me!!

As I have stated the AGM will be next Sunday at 10am at the Falkirk Club as I have been consider my daughters safety, my own & the others who are going to have to travel in the current weather conditions which personally I would are rather dangerous.

This AGM was brought about to try & improve on the good work achieved last year by Dom, NOT to stress me out or make my life difficult


If it is so wished the I STAND DOWN as the scottish rep. then please have a list of names written up asking for me to do so. If the majority of racers would like me to stand down then I'll happily stand aside

regards
John Allan

Thats great John, that would mean I can get there too mate after my long absence

[Donutt]

Hi John.

Sent you a PM just with a few ideas, hope they help with what appears to be a difficult period just now. It's a PITA, I know, trying to keep everyone happy, so maybe there's something constructive there to help out.


To all:
Here's to a great 2011, with everyone doing a wee bit to keep things going forward. It would be great to see something that everyone can be proud of and say that they had a hand in creating.

Looking forward to the AGM, and to see how the new season is going to shape up.

I don't think I can make next Sunday (13th) as it's not a lot of time for me to get things rescheduled. It'll take me 2 or 3 weeks to get things juggled around.

Of course, Dundee will be very keen to run a round this year, as we are actively trying to promote Off-road at our club, but we still have a great attendance of Touring Cars and Mardaves. Our club is actually growing, and it would be good to continue that.

Hopefully the rescheduled AGM will be on a date that everyone can attend and that we (Dundee) can attend and to get a round, to really evelate our off-road section.

And we have really big plans for 2012!!! Biggest event in Scotland, guaranteed! More details towards the end of the year....

Guys,

First things first after reading some emails etc the AGM will be the 27th February @ 12pm @ the Bowhouse Community Center, Skye Court, Grangemouth

Only details posted by myself the BRCA Rep. for Scotland are deemed to be official!!



Things up for discussion:

1. Whether we need a SORRC committee or not
2. Any points that have been raised on oople in the AGM Proposals thread
3. How entries to the SORRC will be dealt with ie entry form or same as last year
4. Marshaling with regards to racers competing in both 2wd & 4wd classes
5. Which club will be hosting which round
6. End Of Season Finals (F2's, Vets & F3, 4, 5's)

With regards to whether we run to the Electric Board rules or not then this matter is not up for discussion as rules 24 & 25 of the "1/10th Electric Off-Road Rules 2011" clearly states that only motors & batteries on the EB Homologation list(s) are allowed to be used at sanctioned events. Now this will not be easy to check with the ever increasing numbers & the lack of people not racing that can help with such checks, so spot checks will be carried out at each round of the championship.

does being brca rep entitle you to all decisions in scottish racing,thought that reps were only go-betweens from them and scottish racers. sounds like buggys are going to the lead class of racing in scotland yet again (hoooray) you will have boys from all over scotland ,so in the past committee's have worked best so that not one person is being left to do everything or they dictate what they believe on everyone else! afterall its all about everyone . this is only my opinion , i have raced different class of r/c cars since i was eleven , and have seen many things. if everyone can put their heads together theres no reason for a very competitve series that all can enjoy,

would like to add though that i think john and guys at falkirk have done first class job in keeping this class of racing going when people opted for tourers. i went to falkirk club 4? years ago with my rc10 and i can honestly say this was my best and most enjoyable days racing for years!!

The idea for a committee is a good one but as I've been told by much higher authorities as the BRCA rep. for scotland it is my choice whether to have a committee to help me out or back me up. I'm not trying to put anyone's noses out of joint, I'm just trying to do what I think is right for the championship.

That being:

1. that I feel 8 rounds are too many (7 being a good compromise)
2. the calendar as it is is spread evenly with a nice gap between rounds so that it doesn't kill racers hunger to go & race. Also to allow for time to order parts & fix cars if/when breakages happen

Also at the moment as for making decision then YES I make them but for now that's the way it is.
However the plan for a committee is that the clubs who choose to host a round of the championship will automatically get a committee position, that way no one club will have multiple committee members so keeping things fair hopefully. As the Scottish Rep. though I will still have the deciding say on any issue.

I am only trying to do what is best for you the racers & considering that last year was the first serious comeback of 1/10th off-road racing in Scotland then I don't want us trying to go from taking baby steps to doing the 100m sprint.

The BRCA 1/10th Off-Road National Championship is our BENCH MARK too achieve & if we can get a third as good as the set up for them then we (Scotland) will have a great regional championship but it will take time so be patient

You can't please everyone all of the time

Since this is starting at midday, is there any food at the hall, or somewhere nearby to get some?

[Racing Snake]

there's a McDonalds about 5mins drive from the hall.

the McDonalds is right next to the BP petrol station
