Subject: Answers Author: Chairman [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:59:15 03/30/03 Sun Firstly,Matthew asked me to remove the mail as I shouldn't have posted it apparantly.This was my mistake I was trying to inform people of what was going on. Secondly, I have spent 2 hours on the phone to Matthew (GBA) today,at my expense,to try and resolve some of the problems.Unfortunatley you will have to wait until Matthew gets back to me with information required. The BGSA is still in its infancy we only have about 20 members,and some of these seem to be forming splinter groups. Even though Traws is far away for most people I don't see how I can be expected to organise races in other parts of the country when so much work goes into just organising Traws,making sure we have transport,bales,some where to store the bales and transporting them,booking cabins,collecting people from train stations etc etc.. Most people know that I am trying work on other venues but the road has to be good enough and it has to be as safe as possible. I will have to take unpaid time off work to see estate managers and then after all the organising and getting the road if enough people do not go then its a waste of time and loss of money. Until I can secure another venue the rest of the BGSA rounds are at Traws. I have spoken to Ding about using Gurston for all gravity sports but he was not comfortable with this and I respect that. I don't understand why gravity bikers using Gurston would expect points when it cannot be a BGSA event. The aim of myself and committee members is to promote all the gravity sports equally,to be as safe as possible and for the sports to be FUN rather than being bogged down with contracts and politics. As for the voting issue this should be carried out by the committee but any points can be brought to the committees attention.The reason for this is that this is how most clubs operate and where both John and myself have had experience.Votes by members are made at AGM or EGM where they can vote on new commitee members and others issues published before the AGM or EGM. Only members of the BGSA can vote at AGM or EGM's. I do take on board any points made and will discuss with the commitee.
