Ok guys, first up let me say a BIG thanks to all those who have shown interest, looks like we are on a winner with track days and will continue to have many more as the demand is quite clearly there.
Now onto the issues popping up between non members/members/new members... First of all this is a CLUB track day, Luke isn't organising it off his back, he is doing it for the club and the club is fronting its money for the deposit. This means that we need to give preference to members of the club yet at the same time, allow those wanting to go on the day and willing to join the club a chance as well. After all the club must be run as a business and you can't run a business on losses. New membership allows funds to pay for events such as the one that is currently being organised. There has been no prefferential treatment here, Luke has either gotten PM's or posts from this thread from members wanting to participate on the day or non members wanting to participate and willing to become a member for that prevelidge. Thank you to Tangles who sees the idea behind this, I know it's not a perfect system but what ever way we cut it someone loses. To be honest we weren't expecting such a huge demand and as a result spots went quickly, we can't help this. Luke gave plenty of warning that this was in the pipeline, there are posts littered in this forum that SAUSA had a track day in the planning. All we can say is there will DEFINITELY be more days in the pipeline and hopefully we can get the same amount of enthusiasm. We would like to have everyone there but the reality is that we can't. That being said, I am stepping down from my position on the day and Luke will fill it with the person next on the list.
Thanks guys
