...and will continue to do so (unfortunatley we cant do coventry as we have something else on ) ....
....catch up soon chris....by the way the PM facility is not working on your user name...
Thanks Chris. We are just reaching the point where more info can come out now; its taken a little longer to get things properly sorted and I know some info is going out today, and more over next couple of weeks to everyone on the mailing list. We want to have cost of fees to a minimum but I think if we can do it for less than the price of 4 gallons of petrol we should be ok. Some comments in here are nothing but negative but in a forum everyone can voice a personal opinion. I'm more than pleased to deal with any questions but unfortunately the hecklers have nothing constructive or useful to contribute. Please keep the questions coming if anything comes to mind.
I know you are interested in a club forum like the PT's have, and I know some work is being done to look at this. I don't know yet if this will happen in the short term, but will come back on this. Some of our group have looked in at this forum as a guest and given us negative feedback about it saying it was like "snipers alley" I'm not sure that's true, but certainly the use of this forum has declined over the last couple of years. It would be useful to know why, when you consider membership of UKC Group continued to grow.
Cheers S
