this may have already been discussed in the past ,but what would a recovery helpline for members by members ,such as those willing to submit thier phone number to help other mud clubbers out of the pooh should the occasion arise , would club reps be willing to hold numbers etc or is this a completly dumb idea :lol: :lol: i know im always willing to help a fellow member when the need arises :idea: just a thought guys :lol:

In Thoery it's a good idea, but you've got the problems with Member Locations ect...

With Planning could be a very good idea.

wing nut · « **Reply #2 on:** June 12, 2006, 14:55:14 »

i have no idea how it would work ,but always good to chew it over

dew1911 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 12, 2006, 14:56:25 »

Sure, I think we'd have to split it into areas of a set size across the country and have a list of names that one person could keep hold of in each area.

In the event of someone grinding to a halt they ring that person, give them the dietails then they ring whoever is closest at the time.

Just my idea anyway.

Sound's like a good idea to me,

sounds good to me :lol: for practical reasons though, i would say there would have to be more than one person who holds the phone numbers,in any given area

dew1911 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 12, 2006, 14:59:55 »

btw sorry but I was not voulenteering to hold the numbers.

The best thing I can think of is can anyone remember that map of all M-C members that floated about a while ago (and gave a few a Virus IIRC)

See if we can find that again and base it off that.

What I was aiming at was that maybe only 1 or 2 people at all hold the numbers, that way you don't have to remember so many when you go out. Like a central control centre so to speak.

the only reason i thought about this ,is some people greenlane alone or pay and play and yes we all break our motors however well we maintain them .also some members may not be in the aa rac etc ,and its possible to move a motor from one end of the country without the person helping you leaving thier county :lol: you could meet dozens of clubbers in a day lol :lol: :lol:

dew1911 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2006, 15:06:20 »

Ok, Your aiming more at a Repair Service than Recovery then, I see.

Sounds good.

wing nut · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2006, 15:18:11 »

a lot of members dont maintain thier own vehicles ,opting for garage repairs ,so mechanicle help would not be possible for those persons , i would say most or nearly all members do carry a tow rope though and this was what i was pointing at ,be it pulling someone out of a ditch recovery off a green lane or just to get them home or to a garage :lol: :lol:

I've set this up for all the members that turn out to support the Leicestershire pub meet.

I've put together a contact sheet listing all the members that are happy to be called out should another local member require assistance.

Might be worth mentioning it at your pub meet.

denviks · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2006, 17:03:20 »

more than happy to add my number to alist in the area

discograham · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2006, 17:43:11 »

I'm not great when it comes to serious repairs but I don't mind getting a call anytime to help someone out... and it's nice to see others think the same. Sort something out and you can have my number with pleasure...

spy · « **Reply #16 on:** June 12, 2006, 21:03:51 »

Im pretty useless with a spanner! Happy to help locally though if anyone could be bothered to coordinate this?

barmiebrumie · « **Reply #17 on:** June 13, 2006, 08:27:14 »

Not to good with a spanner, but more that willing to tow some home or wherever,

John.

J B · « **Reply #21 on:** June 13, 2006, 18:25:05 »

great idea, maybe put the names and numbers into county lists, so you can print them off and keep them in the landy, so if one cant help then phone down the list till someone can 8)

chris9119 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 13, 2006, 19:07:39 »

Andy, thanks for the pm, your first on my list.

To all other West Midlands area members, if your up for this pm me your contact details and what times, services etc that you can offer.

Please also confirm if you wish the data to be open to all or just the regional rep and a nominated second (to be voted for).

To the other regional reps, if this takes off in your region/s, could the list be circulated to the other regional reps in case we visit, or alternatively, when were going to your area, obtain the latest list before going.

Chris
