Re: Having a moan

Without recourse to challenge authority the club I used to race with would have continued to have its takings stolen on a regular basis, for example. Interesting example you've used there, obviously there must have been some proof that this was happening? Which would have lead to your club fully in...

Re: Having a moan

Obviously a part time volenteer Job and I can Respect that. Firstly thanks for this acknowledgement, it's very much appreciated. In running the club shop I have to balance my voluntary time against working full time, and using my Annual Leave sparingly to get to events in good time so that the stal...

Re: Having a moan

Phewww... did you cover the chip vans? Apologies Jon, missed that bit. In my nearly 10 years on the LCGB Committee, and for the many years prior to that when I was attending LCGB events, I can never recall food, or any other, venders being paid to attend and trade at an LCGB event? No idea where th...

Mine was in my TS1. A reline and weld was required to sort the cylinder :x

Re: Having a moan

During the period betewwn 1977 and 1992 over 30 people served on the LCGB committee with four of them contributing to the story. I have not received or heard any remarks from the other 25 or so saying they were left out, consider that before commenting on their behalf. Plus, if I had included stori...

Re: Having a moan

Crap, and i thought those pictures of Kev Walsh, Jeff Smith, Richard Dawson, Dave Welford and a few others that were in the article were committee members, some founding ones of the ressurected club aswell. Must try harder, might have to go on my report then. One thing i do know there werent any ch...

Re: Race Tour Pistons

The cylinder was returned for repair. MB was as nice as he could be about it, but it seems unfair to make it sound as if MB is personally responsible. Failures happen. It is being repaired and I'm confident I'll be just as happy with it post-repair as I was before it failed. I much prefer doing mor...

Re: Having a moan

Chris, fear not not, Toot loves making mountains out of mole hills. He is very good at it, believe me ;) He stated above about how people use social media to comment on stuff they know little about in his opinion yet he has a habit himself of using social media to make up all sorts of bullshit abou...

Re: Having a moan

and for your information, I am not an LCGB member and haven't been since 1999. I last bought Scootering around 10 years back and haven't read a copy since. To be honest I haven't a clue what you are on about. You post on a thread about Bridlington Custom Show and Trade Fair 2016, organised by the L...

Re: Having a moan

Chipvans......last I heard, and it was some time ago, was that LCGB were actually paying food outlets to turn up to events rather than the other way round. Is this still going on? You need to get out more, rather than harking back to time some 30+ years ago. (Or maybe basing your ill-informed opini...
