To be honest mate this is what happens with word of mouth, we've been biting our lips for a while now, itching to let people know exactly where we were up to. We'd love to have rolled this all out earlier and believe we have been in a position to do so for a number of weeks.
However, for many valid (and constructive) reasons we've not been able to which has been frustrating for all concerned. I wont bore you with all the ins and outs but everyone concerned have been pulling and pushing it.
Bronze isn't scrapped, it's just merged with silver (and improved) for the simple reason there were only 7 silver members so it didn't make sense splitting the two again. There's no ulterior motive and I state again, it's not £30 either.
The various emails etc throughout the year were done, but there have been numerous 'technical' issues shall we say over the season which we hope will improve.
Regarding the comment about it being badly run, the TDC generated around £30k with a good profit margin. The 'elite' Gold members, who are fans like the rest of us, coughed up a large amount of money themselves to subsidise the fans travel to Featherstone, and raised almost £5k from the bike ride and summer ball.
We've always said that people are more than welcome to come and help, we're fans too so there's no them and us. Trevors door is always open and Keith will answer any questions too.
