yes locked subject closed.
get real, the Manx club is simply a hobby club for fun. an earlier accounting showed how membership dues were allotted. lets face it; this stupid spat is the most action this site has seen in a year. all the action is on the facebook site. its there because that is what is popular as a smart attempt to gain new dues paying members. that is good. i'm on the right coast, and understand most of my dues go towards the newsletter. I don't attend any of the left coast events; but I know my dues aren't funding those events. this club was not intended to be a profit making venture. sometimes absolute power corrupts people. locking the subject raises suspicion. ( as an example locally at the patriot place mall on alternating Thursdays the "mass crusiers" car club hosts a large cruise nite of 2,000 cars or more. for years they have a 50/50 raffle of around a $1,000 pot. unfortunately I discovered from a trusted former member they would regularly skim money off the top so the club members could go out for dinner and drinks after. he quit due to that and fear of his business being sued as the crowds were poorly managed and bad behaver growing. through the grapevine others also discovered this. this year the 50/50 pot is around $300.00. but unannounced they started asking for a food can donation to enter your car. most drivers caught by surprise gave cash. I brought a can the next event and it was added to the pile of about 20 other cans in the pile. most drivers still gave cash; as the can donation was and still is not listed on any of their flyers or their website. curious?.) just an example of reality. I am not implying any thing like that happens here. but it does go on elsewhere. so some get skeptical. all I am saying is give peace a chance and have some fun with your silly dune buggy car. I will.
