Guest Smimby Posted August 6, 2013 Share I am starting this here since we are not allowed to ask so many questions on the FB page.Since post either gets deleted or you get a warning. It looks like most people dont even post there anymore anyway. And since it is more anonymous here, you can come and voice your opinion. Hopefully we can discuss here things like. How to maintain a trail in the summer?How do you make fence climbing easier with your bike in hand?Should club financials be public or members eyes only?How does one prevent member board duplication?Are you allowed to ask how the club will benefit from a certain event?

Disylizzy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Don't forget about whether members can get a copy of the club constitution when it's requested. Or have the constitution readily available on the club's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted August 6, 2013 Share If you guys are that unhappy, then leave the club and form your own. Thats actually pretty much how the hub started Sean Faria, kvdp, MTB_Roadie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Vinci Posted August 6, 2013 Share Fandacious not the point. They are a club, governed by certain protocol which is not being adhered too. Communication is key in any organization. Sanderis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smimby Posted August 6, 2013 Share Fandacious, the only problem is that they do actually have nice trails VERY nice ones......it is just that you can not ask or suggest anyting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Vinci Posted August 6, 2013 Share Do your best to enforce that they do. I dunno - maybe it's just me that stands on my principles but if we all just give up then what is the point of the rules in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma will catch up to you...as well as gravity!! Tygerberg As a paying member you should be able to get requested information. Just a quick calc, without sponsorships the club is getting over ZAR1 mil just for membership fees (and that's on the low end), with that kind of cash flow wouldn't you want to know what's being done with all the money? And yes, I've met some individuals that were discussing making copies of other boards in order to by pass having to pay membership.

Guest Smimby Posted August 6, 2013 Share I think that most of them stick to the rules. It seems that one person however acts on his own.He is the main reason for this page, everything you ask or discuss on the FB page gets deleted...and since he is the power there, we can only come here with out ideas and discussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks And there I was... - thinking all is well in the land of milk & honey!!! with those amounts generated from membership...I think the taxman should also sit up & take notice!!
