This is more like it, any publicity is good publicity in my book.
I know that, but when I was last there, about a year ago, it started to get silly with only 6 turning up and still holding a meeting, a little too casual if you get my drift. It looked set to continue, that's why the RIP prediction.
I beg to differ with you on weather they can be arsed or not, I've been going there for years. Last year, Dave Moore & myself asked Ian to get us all together in a pub somewhere one evening to discuss the club and just chuck ideas out there about how to keep the club going, he didnt want to know, he wasn't the only one though, I thought that the regulars who do show would want to do something to keep
their club going, with a couple of exceptions it looked like I was wrong. I suggested a stock class to keep costs down to attract newcomers, he didn't want to know, I suggested an internet forum for members, with the thought it may generate some outside interest, he didn't want to know, (so I did it regardless) He actually told me off for posting the video because it had a thumbnail of something else I had made in the corner of the page (it is MY photobucket page afterall). Perhaps he has something against me personally, I don't know.
I've only started to race again over the last few weeks, having spent the last year changing jobs, working on house, personal issues etc, which explains my absence. I know how you feel about your new buggy having just invested in a new buggy myself, I'm looking for a return sooner rather than later
