[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 749122, member: 16598"] Wow, we're spoilt. We've got a great crew, but more is always welcome - out of a club of about 300, there's about 10-15 that do everything. We had one guy turn up with his kids on the off-chance we might be having a working bee. He got the impression (stunned silence) that we don't get new volunteers turn up often. He's been back & even though we work him to the bone, has a great time - heck he even turns up with the kids & without the bikes sometimes. We have bikeless days & we have days where we just can't be bothered unloading the bikes, but we always have a laugh. Yes, we also have the assholes who ride past us (riding illegally), some even stopping for a chat. No, we don't get paid monetarily, the ride profits go back into building bridges, buying arrows/paint & whatever else is needed. We are also known as an elitist racing club and get slammed for putting on rides that are "too technical, too hard" - hello, but I suck & I get around them & have fun. Why should we put on rides that none of us want to actually ride? Yeah, this thread puts me on my soapbox too :) To all of you out there, don't let the knockers get you down, keep doing the best you can & don't burn yourself out. When you feel you've just had enough, stop. To those who just turn up & pay for riding, remember to thank those that have slaved their ring off to put that ride/race on - it is appreciated. To those of you who don't quite know how to go about helping out - phone your local club, ask, pester them into a date/time you can come & help - don't expect them to phone you, they're probably busy enough trying to organise other stuff (I know our theory is if they're really keen to help, they'll contact us, we shouldn't have to chase them).
