Should this forum name be changed to Formula 4 and 5 instead of Buckets

My suggestion for a new name combines the current name and an accessory a lot of people here like throwing around.

Bucket Handbag

[timg]

It's not bucket, it's bookaay. Now doesn't that sound better already?




(As in Mrs Bucket on the telly)

[nudemetalz]

Bookaay racing?
Sounds a little ghey......

But you're right; we do need to sort 'our' 'club'. First we need a club! Second we need a membership. Steps are underway.

Ok, so I been thinking bout this. To control riders at the track you need a form for them to sign, with the rules of the track if they disobay they are out of there. You need someone that isint racing wearing a dayglow vest, they keep an eye on people and there behaviour and inforce the rules.

As far as organinsing a MASSIF club, you need web site... but for now how about if I open a new page/catogry in the BMRC web site for you guys, once again you post the club rules (MNZ are already there) club members, race meets photos etc, you name it and ill sort it.

Above all someone needs to take control, apoint a Pressie sort a 2IC and ya well on the way to sorting your problems... and all this with out changing the forum name to F4

Sounds like a Communist State, next you will have a "rent a crowd" smiling and waving flags on the sidline, computer generated fireworks and Mili Vanili singing the National Anthem before we start racing.

You just need to run the meetings according to MNZ rules, then when you travel to MNZ permited meetings your Welly Massive guys arn't in for a shock.

We already have that, it's called COL!

Anyway, we're having our Norf Welly Massif AGM today, so hopefully we'll be able to sort some things out, thanks for the suggestions Southerners.

You bite way to easily... that was Dangerous' job!

Bugger...

You might say it was a jibe at Dangerous but your phrasing made it pretty clear to me you were telling all of US how silly YOU think we are all being.

This is exactly the kind of shit that is turning me way off KB at a great rate of knots - why has this discussion even had to degenerate into handbag slinging and insult throwing in the first place? That's not just aimed at just you either Joni and I've been guilty of it myself but it isn't really a valuable use of ones time now, is it? So why do we do it...

Sully asked a question and it wasn't about dropping the title of Buckets it was about calling it Buckets F4/F5 that way those interested (who don't know what it is) can easily find out what it is and look to get involved.

BTW too...seems I wasn't the only one who thought you were just having a snippy little dig at those of us who had had something to say on this thread...my bling would attest that quite a few thought you should keep your unhelpful comments to yourself.

You are right too...I don't know you...I've only seen you post and to be honest the majority of what I've seen would suggest that how I and others reacted to that post of yours is pretty damn spot on.

Whoa! Too hard.

That's more like a real club - with like, fees and minutes and stuff.

The Bucket stuff here has been kept casual to encourage people to start. We've barely got enough riders to cover costs now. Hard rules might put some off; and they may not be the ones who are the problem either.

But all this has nothing to do with the question posed - other than newbies who don't realise Buckets are F4/F5.

We get a few at the Slipway who think (as it's quite casual) that anything goes.

Well, no, it doesn't. Wheelies in the pits, joining in a race whenever you feel like etc are not on. I think, in our case, a little awareness will help improve things

Riders briefing should sort out what is acceptable and what isn't, you do have one dont you?

And whoever runs the meeting needs to take control and enfore the rules of the meeting and make sure the standard of behaviour is acceptable

Sooner or later the crap that goes on will bite us on the arse.

and when it does, who's in the firing line? who ever organised the event that's who

It's quite possible the landowner may also be liable for allowing the events to be run there

Changing the name of the forum was a first idea along this path.

I can't see a name change making any difference

I can see us either having a serious accident or losing our venue. Neither are good for us, or the look of the sport.

Or a serious accident which cause you to loose the venue, is there any plan in place for when that happens?, because sooner or later it will (I'm talking either accident or venue loss)

I'm in two minds as to whether I should post this so please don't quote it as I'd like to be able to remove it if I feel the need to.

missed this bit until it was to late

You might say it was a jibe at Dangerous but your phrasing made it pretty clear to me you were telling all of US how silly YOU think we are all being.

Not quite how I saw it and I thought it made the point that we can say what we like on here but it won't make any difference in the real world

This is exactly the kind of shit that is turning me way off KB at a great rate of knots

I get more turned off the forum by people who seem to spam as many threads as they can with nothing of consequence to say

Sully asked a question and it wasn't about dropping the title of Buckets it was about calling it Buckets F4/F5 that way those interested (who don't know what it is) can easily find out what it is and look to get involved.

It is far better known as Buckets and always will be and is very easy (especially on KB) to get info and get involved, the main reason for the increase in the size of the fields in Chch is people off KB joining up through the social networking and it didn't take a name change for that to happen, how many Welly people got involved because of seeing it on KB? would you have got involved otherwise?

The Bucket stuff here has been kept casual to encourage people to start. We've barely got enough riders to cover costs now. Hard rules might put some off; and they may not be the ones who are the problem either.

The rules don't have to be hard (and the MNZ rules aren't) but they have to promote both track and riding safety

But all this has nothing to do with the question posed - other than newbies who don't realise Buckets are F4/F5.

I'd ask it the other way a round, who would realise that F4/F5 are Buckets?

I once tried to enter a MCC meeting at Timaru and when asked for my class I replied "F4" and suprise suprise they had no idea what I was talking about untill I said "that's Buckets"

WOW... thats a copy of what I posted a page back (dont think the Massie's are taking it in to well tho), cept for the #1 comment, come on J had that comming.

Bit more to my post than what you put up, you attended the MNZ meeting where they spoke about liability how to you think they will get on at the slipway if someone is seriously injured?

Especially if it is the result of a wheelie or someone joing a race 1/2 way through

The guy who runs these meetings is not doing so as MNZ sanctioned. He is more than aware of how their meetings are run and I think is an ex steward. In fact it is explicitly not run under MNZ - no licences from them - etc.
