I've just thought of Knutsford & DMC, one of the most active clubs in the country. However, I can't get on to their website, for some reason. But here's something to go on with: www.pacenotes.com/handbook_2004.html

Have a scout around Pwig, for a contact phone number for this club.

This takes the piss, anyone would have thought the clubs didnt want to attract members, and they wonder why less and less people are joining motorclubs and competing.

It's even worse when there are so many drivers looking for navigators that one who wants to get into the sport is finding it so hard.

Us left seaters need to stick together.

Come on MSA sort them out I know you read this site.

what role does the chariman do?

remember that motor clubs are run by volunteers and they have other things to do, also, given its the holiday season, some might be busy and not at your beck and call 24/7....

For our club you'd need to e-mail the membership secretary, the club website has this information, which club are you trying to contact?

How odd I'm sure the old man would have replied within a day if you had emailed him regarding joining a sarf west club.

Keep trying Pwig, I'm sure someone wants you, try the 'Rally Car Register' as well, new club just set up by Graham Dance amongst others.

He's a member on here, i'll try and point him your way otherwise you could find him on the members section and drop him an email.

Good Luck!!!

I wonder how much time committee meetings devote to discussing the recruitment of new members...
