I have a strange opinion on this... from having been involved in a number of clubs over the years...

Yes the club could have let the lad have a few laps with dad driving/helping.
They are also allowed as others have mentioned 3 goes before BRCA membership.

However, I have seen many newcomers to the sport who were totally disinterested in the running of the club, and that existing members were there to serve them up a track and put it all away again at the end of the night...

Literally just sitting and watching myself and a few other dedicated members unroll carpet, tape it down, come up with a track design and setup jumps and the temp rostrum.

P***ed off was not the word, and scarpering off early before everything was being put away just was the cherry on top!

I have been to a few clubs like this, and often the driving standards of said people was also rediculous and daft!

I hope that the thread starter is not of this mentality and that he understands my post with a view from both sides of the fence. I also like to think that many hands make light work, and that if we all did a little the kit gets setup out away easily and quickly, and we all have some respect for the other club members...
