cleanbikes Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 why dont you reuse stuff? You know those bike parts that you break, wear out, get stolen ... well ...- New section flags for 2006 old ones broken beyond repair- New masonary drill for section building old one got stolen/gone missing- New tables for signing on always used my own camping table up till now- Toilets personally I'd like a clean and empty one for each comp!!!- Wine to thank observers would somehow lose the "thanks" if we asked for it back for next time!- Section tape for national round if anyone wants to wash all the mud off and wrap it up neatly, you're welcome to - thanks for the offer!- Awards for top 3 in each class at club rounds "here's your prize, now can we have it back for next month!"- End of year championship awards "here's your prize, now can we have it back for next year!"- clipboards - have always used my own in the past - and they do wear out- Rubbish bags well I'm not going to empty them out and wash them!- marker pens wear out/get lost/dry up- time-clocks die eventually / get accidentally taken home / disappear- batteries die- punches get wet, rusty, eventually go blunt and don't punch any more- punchcards re-use?... ok we can do that, I'll enter the next comp myself and re-use Chris Walker's punchcard from the last comp!

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 to be fair i see this from both sides because i both ride and organise events. the way i see things:£20 is alot for comp entry however there must be a reason for this price. to be fair i start to feel like its too expensive once we get over £10 and over £15 its gotta be a bloody good event to make me go. however the fort bill comp last year was £20 and it was an amazing event so i didn't mind paying it. i am now however starting to feel the price of comps, the last couple have ended up costing me over £200 when you take in petrol, food, entry, membership, natty tyres etc etc. however if i want to compete i gotta find the money so its either cough up or ride street...membership money: £10 a year is bugger all for what your getting, i've just had to pay up my BMC (british mountaineering council) membership because i'm training to become a mountain leader, thats £66!!! and it'll be another £35+ every year for the rest of my life so i'm more than happy to pay £10 for club membership.running a club is not cheap, freeridetrials club hasn't run many events becuse we dont get enough riders coming and paying entry fee's, the first event we did we only changed £1 entry and that was a mistake, it left us with no money to run future events an the club is now out of pocket big time (no club money at all and about £200 out of my own pocket gone - for what?)i think both sides can help the issue, riders - dont whinge and think about why the prices are as they are, clubs - see if you can keep event entry fees a bit lower and maybe bump the membership up a bit or look for outside sponsorship to help fill the void.if i can afford it and i'm in a fit state to ride, i already have membership and BC license so thats all good but it'll still end p costing me well over £100 for the weekend, thats not a complaint towards anyone its just the price you gotta pay to ride a well organised event that will be an amazing laugh...my 2pencetom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 In reference to what waynio said , yeah fine mate only wanted to see what people were doing as there doesn't seem to be much info on these thing available. Understandably people do make effort and I would like to support as well , just dont want to get involved with something that is just going to **** me about and make me have an unhappy weekend (As I dont get let out much as it is ). I will be coming if I can sort transport out. Thanks for the info everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 running a club is not cheap, freeridetrials club hasn't run many events becuse we dont get enough riders coming and paying entry fee's And 'cos you all bitched like crazy about each other/it last time you were going to have one, judging from the last thread, and posts in other threads? Hopefully Barbara's post (assuming it was Barbara using that account then) will have opened people's eyes to the realities of running comps though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
