Hi Kev
Thought I would buck a trend and post on here twice in a year!!!!!
There are two main points that need to be taken into consideration. Firstly, the MCC does not do nothing to support itself, they get funding by working at Bathurst each year marshalling the campers. This is their only source of income.
Secondly, like any other organisation, the MCC needs to be able to sell itself to the majority of riders. This means the MCC needs to stand and tell us what they have delivered, or what they will deliver if we were to fund them. Lets have a quick recap;
CTP. No results as of yet. Yet CTP has got dearer and dearer over the years and this has been unchecked. The Neville Chamberlain approach has not worked here. Direct action is required.
Fair tolls for motorcyclists. This has been an issue since I came to this country in 2002, and it is still going on. I think the majority would agree it is unresolved.
I have attempted to have discussions with Rob when I have gone to MCC meetings, but I have been cut off, and in some cases ignored. So without any opportunity to get the other side of the argument, I am left to form this opinion.
In closing, if the MCC kicks a goal or two, they get a bit of street cred, and a much better position to ask for money. I say go ahead, create the paypal account, the riders of NSW will either donate or not donate. That in itself will outline to the MCC where it really sits.
