If you are a pessimist it makes you optimistic because things can only get better, on the other hand optimists who only look on the bright side are in for a nasty surprise some time.

..and what the f has this to do with the thread? Where is the anti b0ll0cks button?

The acu do a great job with the VOLUNTEERS that run our sport for our benefit.

Its not perfect but which volunteer organisation is?

Entry fees are incredibly good value and I challenge any one to state otherwise. (with reasons of course!)

The comment containing the word pessimist was in response to Steve's previous post containing negative.

I do not wish to partake in ACU bashing but there are some points worth making.

It is not a voluntary organisation, it has paid staff and levies fees.

In my view all the controlling bodies have failed to address some key issues, including

Noise

Land access

The difficulties of running road trials as they are grouped with speed events.

It is a pity that as yet no one has posted a breakdown of the costs that make up entry fees.

Didn't you know about the secret club levy that is put in a pot for all the club officials to pay for their Gas Gas gearbox repairs.

Perhaps if you went and found out for yourself instead of expecting others to do it you may get the answer.
