There are those that "do" and those that "don't" in any club. The more I get older, there seems less of the "doers" and more of the "don'ters"

Mind you we could be like everyone else and simply blame the government and request more money to solve all the problems when they eventually arrive.

OK getting off thread here. Rolf you are wasting your time on this one, perhaps you may wish to restrict responses to those that actually put time and energy into running a club or class rather than any internet wannabee, we may get some relative answers then.

Hi Wayne,

with the underwhelming response to the question I dont see any opportunity to restrict responses wink
Will have to chase the different classes and beat the bushes to get feedback I think.

Thanks to those who flagged their expectations!

I feel like I'm part of the reason that this thread was started, so I'll jump in.

At minimum I knew there were private forums available only to class members, so I figured I would at least have access to them. Also, I saw names of members on a website and I saw where members could reserve sail numbers (Again there was a list on a website,) so I figured I would get that much as well. I guess in summary I expected recognition as a member and not much more.

What I got was nothing. My name wasn't put on the list, my sail number wasn't put on the other list. I didn't get access to the private forum until I badgered people for months, and then when I did get access, I found that the forum was largely inactive.

If the only point in being a member is so I can race in the very few sanctioned events, then membership just isn't for me.

So they haven't taught you the secret handshake and the club where all the really good looking folk hang out?

Oops, probably said too much already....

They didn't even acknowledge the fact that I paid. Not even a receipt. If my bank account hadn't been deleted, I wouldn't have known anything happened.
