Oh yes we are still running, but I have been racing the xc Nationals so Terry and I had taken a year out. Anything I can do to help?
I will be away on holiday for 2 weeks as from Tuesday 17th September, so you know why no reply if you post after Tuesday.

I am really sorry you havnt had a reply for the membership form, we have had some serious  problems with the web site relating to sabotage with pornography and so have been unable to update the web site  and its still ongoing. I understand from the web hosting firm that its still being investigated by the police.
I really dont know why you didnt get a reply from the membership form it may be that it didnt register with me and so you havnt heard anything.
Having said that as ive said nothing has been happening this year and certainly havnt been running many training days.
We had received lottery funding for the timing equipment which we have purchased but I have found extremely difficult to understand. We have advertised for volunteers to come forward and learn how to use it but at present no one has been interested.
If anyone is interested then please say so. You must be over 18 years of age.
I will be away now for 2 weeks until October 1st so you may not get a quick response.
Thanks Sallie

We have nothing planned at the moment but if we do i will post on here.  We are just so very short of volunteers and without them we cant do anything sadly.

No, he is very busy though.
We are short of volunteers for race organisation ie the timing equipment, sign on etc. We also need to recruit some new coaches but there seems very little interest, everyone just wants to ride and i must admit ive enjoyed racing again this year rather than organizing. I will be racing again next year. We are trying to organize a South West xc championship race, but again lack of volunteers. So it goes on and on..
