Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

I think you could level that accusation about any organisation frankly - I used to go to a fair amount of VVC and VMSC rallies, I knew pretty much all of their committee members too, you'd hardly have called them an elite though or me an elitist for being able to say hi and call them by their 1st na...

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

Eden you know full well the more you go on LCGB rallies/nationals the more of the committee and regular riders you meet. That doesn't make my comment elitist or the LCGB as an elitist organisation, that isn't my impression whatsoever. If others want to use 'the LCGB is an elite argument ' because th...

I’ve read in all this about some (LCGB) members thinking the LCGB is elitist and a clique.
With the above comment you’ve made you’ve just about confirmed the point they’re making.

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

You'll understand if that isn't my impression of the LCGB.
Most members I know think £20 a year for the largest Lambretta club in the world is superb VFM, still the more you put in the more you get out.

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

I'll take it mushrooms is banter rather than being some sort of insult to nearly 6,000 people though.

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

Perhaps those members are perfectly happy with the way the club is being run? You should consider that too. If it's a choice of a democratically elected committee where I know at least a few of them personally and have ridden with the rest or someone I don't know from Adam then I'll stick with the L...

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

It's actually really ironic as those who want to have a dig at the committee have wheeled out this very person in the past as an example of someone who was stitched up by the committee/membership despite their years of struggle and hard work. Now they dismiss his contribution! - You couldn't make it...

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

I think by that it's just a nice way of saying someone who's been on the committee in the past and is one of the old original LCGB founders/members. Every member is equal at the AGM so I don't get where some people are painting the committee as 'all powerful' as they certainly aren't.

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

I know who I am talking about and I didn't mention any committee member.
There are several things on the FB page but the word 'copyright' is being banded about incorrectly for a start.
As far as I am aware Gavin hasn't applied for copyright on anything.
