Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

Eden I think we all know whom Gavin was referring to when he was discussing who 1st passed on ideas & suggestions to the LCGB committee. I find myself agreeing however that had Gavin spoken directly to at least a member of the committe rather than going through intermediaries (as influential or ...

Re: LCGB - BLOA - Concessionaires......confusion

Yes, it wasn't an original BLOA member and it wasn't that member that was claiming -as far as I am aware? Gavin was asserting that someone else was given individual rights -which is not true. Maybe he genuinely thought that was the case at the time of posting, however shortly after the person contac...

Re: LCGB - BLOA - Concessionaires......confusion

I'm sure Gavin will confirm no original member of BLOA has claimed any such thing to be fair to him. There may have been some question over whether another person was given any rights but that person has already confirmed to Gavin it isn't and wasn't the case. The rights to MK's designs are those of...

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

as long as they're relevant surely that's all that matters? Perhaps it's the same as magazine articles -interested I'll read the lot and wonder why they didn't write more, not/barely interested I'll skim read and wonder why the editor allowed so many pages to be wasted. If you're short of a keyboard...

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

Is that supposed to be helpful Dan? Every time serious questions have been asked (of those who are in a position to answer them) they've been either ignored repeatedly or swallowed up in inane comments or 'whataboutery'. Is it any wonder threads such as this have reached enormous sizes? On that subj...

Re: LCGB - BLOA - Concessionaires......confusion

I haven't seen this attempt to discredit, unless I simply dismissed it as nonsense of course. Tim do you think this helps the discussion....🤔 “If you want to speak to several members of the Committee at once, bring one or more of your vegetables if you wish. ” That's not discrediting IMHO, although...

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

Thanks for clarifying Gavin. Perhaps the committe also read it as both? In which case it isn't suprising it's been rejected in my view. I'm sure someone will clarify what issue they have with suggestion 1 if you make this clear however, I'd be interested to hear it. Just perhaps - maybe the offer to...

On the other hand I haven't seen anyone accuse anyone of being 'a filthy paedo & a racist' on here yet either -so look on the bright side eh?
