does that mean you are/were in the service?

[MUD MUNCHER]

no i am not in the service but my father is he a watch manager for green watch control dsfrs he has been in the service for 30 plus years so he has seen all the changes that have gone on.

One thing worries me ........If you are going to use fines weeks are you going to drive people away

as I have been out for a couple of years now I am not up to date with the watches, but I expect I know him, I was station officer/commander/manager - take your pick at Stn 57

I think you've got a point mate! some people might not be in a situation to just hand over there hard earned, Even for these fantastic charitys!

plus you should factor in some people might not like being told to "pay up" for a spelling mistake.

I agree we as a bunch of surfers should do something to get maybe sponsorships for an off road event or somet! Rent out our passenger seats for salisbury plains & drumclog etc!

Im all for giving to charity! I just think we all need to be 100% sure about what methods we use!

I have to agree with Woodzie, there is a danger of driving people away - maybe we could offer 2 options:

1) Pay the fine
2) Welcome to the cellar

If the 2nd option is taken then I am sure they will be treated leniently, we wouldn't ridicule them would we ?

Problem with that is it just points out to us all who either cant/refused to give to charity!

I think it would be a good idea if we organised a salisbury plain trip (or similar) where whoever wants to be guided by "the plain yeti" pays £5 in a pot an then thats divided to the 10 or so charitys selected by the members

[Woodzie]

I like the pay to be the passenger idea

Oh please note that organising and planning events does cost ..........
xmas i did 3 reccies , time down the pub organising food etc.etc.....

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

I like the pay to be the passenger idea

Surely that depends on the driver

It could be Melons (yep in the surf on the plains)
It could be Lurch
It could be in the 50 squid special
It could be Lame Rover
