I am really sorry to see all of the negative comments, especially those aimed at individuals. I believe we all should chill out for a while. None of the individuals involved are paid, they are all volunteers, donating their time and energy. Mistakes will be made and constructive criticism is needed and hopefully appreciated. Once elections are actually held, the old club axiom will apply - if you don't like the way something is done, step up and volunteer to do it yourself. I am looking forward to see how plans are being made to "regionalize" the Club as except for the newsletter and web site, it is a SoCal organization. So I am looking for future enhancements in the Club. Winnie says it will take till the beginning of the year to get organized and make announcements - after 7 years I can wait another 6 weeks or so. FWIW,Patience

As of late i haven't posted here much but this is where i as well as many others got there start in a wonderful hobby. without the help and advice of all of you, alot of us wouldn't have gotten into this buggy thing.i am looking forward to getting back to the way it used to be ( a very active site) we all have made a lot of great freindships because of it.i have sat back and read all the comments and i really like what don is saying and i agree. i appreciate the people that are stepping up to volunteer there time,money and energy to keep this club and site going. i also can wait a while longer to see how everything shakes out, lets just give it a chance.
Dale, I think you have the right idea. We are the club, its up to each of us to get the blood flowing again. There are several splinter groups, I guess that is regionalized. This is where it all started and I hope there will be a resurgance. I plan to visit and post on this sight more often. Maybe it will bring a lot of us back together, and open up the lively discussions we used to share. I hope we will continue to have at least a couple of Manx Club sanctioned runs each year. Dont wait for managment to start things, we as individuals have to pump life back into it. Then managment will keep things in order.
