Guys, Its a great idea,  :D
When I did an off road event last year, the organising clubs policy was in the event of a breakdown to try and get your vehicle mobile or to a place where you could be collected by the Break down services.
EVERYONE should join a recovery scheme ( its not that expensive)  so that---ONCE the club members have rallied round  :D - if you cannt get back under your own steam, at least you will be accesable to the recovery services.

yes  

As Paul said earlier, the best way to get recovered is to get to know the people first, get yourself to the pub meets and get yourself known, if I got stuck I can think of a list of locals who could possibly offer assistance (and already have all the numbers - and they have mine).

We did toy with this idea a while back but it didn't get anywhere as there were too many suggestions of it being open to abuse (people laning alone, and getting regularly stuck, people being called at midnight, etc).

Don't let me put you off though, keep talking

could help south bucks

Great idea I`d be interested in both helping and being helped.
What do we do?

[dew1911]

What we really need (admins *knock knock*) is a sticky with every who's doing what area in it.

Also, this may just be me but I think each area should have 2 people minding the numbers that way if others are not able to answer the phones then all is not lost.

Also, a booklet with the main contact numbers in to print out and stick in your car would be a good idea I think.

I think that BWORC (Bristol and west off-road club) have something similar. They were having a meet in a pub and I got chatting and they gave me a list of members and their numbers. Never used it as I always forget it!

Practically speaking i think a list of willing members and the area/s they are able/willing to cover. It takes another cog out of the system and puts the responsibility of having the numbers with the driver and not someone who is away for the weekend with the family or something.  :D

Would be good if it was easily updated, so if you knew you are away for a weekend you could put a note on it.

Who ever is the regional rep for me in Bristol can put me down, crap with spanners but perfectly capable of pulling and pushing!

[tonycougar]

Yeah I think that would be better..........then if you have a list of people you are bound to get someone who could help you
