Really?
I know Todd (Avalanche who has been a member for years) is going now but PAID members should never be refused to an open run ! They could help you guys out. Like Joel did
I'm sure if necessary you could explain to the 2 Yotas that they can jump in a Jeep so the members of this club can go! They would understand, I'm sure
Hey Dom. This is pretty much a dead issue since the run has already happened, and everyone had a good time - but I'd like to explain my reasoning. I absolutely understand your point, and I had to stop and think about my reply before I posted up - it's definitely not a simple question. I hope that once I explain my reasoning it'll make sense.
The reason that I didn't ask someone else to step aside is that I didn't think it was fair to tell a guy who signed up two weeks ago for an open run that they are no longer welcome at the last minute. The last couple of requests to join the run came in less than 24 hours before the run's start. Normally, last minute joiners are always welcome...but if someone has asked to come on the run a couple of weeks ago and I punt them off at the the last minute because someone with a membership card wants their spot then I don't think that sends the right message...and I think that it's pretty likely to leave a sour taste in their mouth. When it comes to
open runs, I think that we should make every effort to encourage people who aren't
yet members to come out, enjoy wheeling, and see what we're really about.
