(This is where you jump on me and tell me how wrong I am and how much they disagree Yada yada yada.. You know who you are..)
I don't disagree with you at all Sabie, accept....
we are not a registered club, we don't have a committee, no one has ever been elcected, we don't even have an ABN, the Bank account is still under me with 2 other signatories, in fact I still own the website domain name.
OzSTOC was built on 95% a democracy, and the other 5% is what Desiel and Streak say was going to happen, to which we always consulted many people on what moves we took (which you where one), now that breakdown applies to Saaz, ST2UP and Pocket Stocker.
Diesel and I selected the above people to run OzSTOC when we stood down, some people like it, some don't, it was our decision.
this is not a negative response, just giving you clear facts that while everything your saying is very true in the right Club setup, but OzSTOC is not that setup.
as for changing the award from longest travelled to the wild card award, that was MY idea that I took the national team who like it and went with it.
the awards your talking about apart from the Member of the year, is all awarded to people at rally for things that happen at rally, so there is no way we can have committiees to decide all that.
it has always been decided around a table at 5pm in the evening after national rally ride to see what events have unfolded.
I know it is what you would like to happen, but this is not the setup that will ever happen.
Diesel and I always said if we eve had to go committees and fully fledged club status we are out, as the drama and politics is not worth it.
we have an amazing group of people here that have assembled over the last 4 years, I love it just the way it is.
I have full trust in the 3 people in charge at this time, just like when they hand it over when they are done, they will have full trust as well.
Cheers
