Ok chap's and chapesses :daumenhoch:
I went to weekend bash and had a top time :daumenhoch:
Well done to Dan Harris who made us feel very welcome and a big thankyou to his sister and mum that kept the tea, coffee and ciders flowing :daumenhoch:
I got up at 4.30, dusted the bikes off from their last outing at xmas, chucked them in the van and drove weary eyed to no man's land.
It was great to meet some new folks, Ian, Scott and Lara and good to see some familiar ones.
It was topped by winning show and shine, I did get 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th !!!!! So the man they call 'Tight Shorts' move over and pass me your crown ;)
We all had a fantastic chin wag and a good time was had by all ! Well until Rich started to snore anyway :2funny:
:4_17_5: Dan Harris and those that made it !
Ok - the however part !
Yep I understand commitments - Believe me I have my own - 500 plus miles and 6 hour round trip was a big ask - but ney mind !
Nobody needs to feels insulted and NO fingers are being pointed ??? Lets face it, it's nonsense to think there are 4,000 members !! In the last 4/5 years I have been a member the most I have seen on site at anyone time is about 250, and it's always the same old people signed on and post !!!
This is our hobby remember and there is no need for any fall out !
If you look at the events it's the same old story - The Xmas bash - Creation Novice Nights - CIN is a struggle for numbers (I should imagine the Old School race scene has issues too)
Similar trend when it comes to T-Shirts (20 orders) ffs
Rad Pads at MK last year - less than 10 sold !
Maybe a new approach is needed to these type of events, I have offered to help in the past and indeed spoken to Rich, Matt, Dave and Dan, maybe we could set up a committee of sorts to look at the advertising of them at least ! I know this can be a thankless task sometimes and a lot of hard work goes into it !
Maybe the likes of enthusiastic chaps like Pickle, Trev , Moley and me can help the site owners and admin out for future events :daumenhoch:
Anyhow, lets chill out Radsters, we had a fantastic time but lets make sure that the next one is even better :angel:
Like I said it's our hobby - so lets enjoy what we do and keep the good times rolling !

"I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn't have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"
Broggie:
For me, there's two parts...I'm from Romford, but at the weekend I go to my Girlfriends at Sawston Cambridge. Its not easy for me as I really want to spend every minute I've got with her (thumbprint available for inspection) which was why I couldnt go to Daggers last weekend, apologies to Ratty and OSS Queen. I'd love to go to meets, well local at least in the evenings during the week. I'd have popped in to say hi at the show and shine if I had noticed the thread, and now I'm quite sad I missed out...
Ray.
