Huw, at the outset I feel I should explain that I mean no disrespect to anyone involved with the Snooky Trust.  I am sure you all work very hard and put on a great event.  As you rightly said, local feedback is positive. The only point I was trying to get across (and this applies to all Charities, large or small) - is there a way to work smarter rather than harder? Whatever the 'feelgood' ...

@'Ol lady Biker Nicely turned around - unfortunately most can see through it though. I think I've put my case across to most reasonable people. I'm not going to get into a barney with you as it would be pointless. We'll publish the income from SF2018 as soon as we have it (Please note that last year that took until February). If you still don't understand I am more than ...

@elvis presley (perhaps the only person on here with a sense of humour?) Whilst I am privileged to count many 'real' bikers amongst my friends and family - I've never needed a man to fight my corner and I don't intend to start now - lol! L&R

Thank you Huw for a very calm, level-headed and clear explanation and for all you, and the many other charity volunteers (for whatever charity they volunteer) do for the people of this town.  And although I've never been to Snooky Fest, congratulations on another successful event which clearly brought pleasure to so many and also helped raise money for the charity and its profile all at the same ...

Well!  Someone got out of bed the wrong side! This is a VERY vociferous defence to two quite innocuous questions/points of view. I wonder why? Glad to hear you're in the phone book.  If I ever want to talk to you I'll do it face to face.  I find people are usually much kinder when they're not behind a keyboard, with or without alcohol. You've not really done the Snooky Fest any favours ...

Sigh....... I feel I have to respond to Ol' Lady Biker's comment even though I didn't want to. 1. Snooky Fest is organised by 5 people (none of whom are paid). 2. The event on the day is run by (primarily) family & friends - I assume you're talking about the Marshals, Gate Staff here - who volunteer their time to do it - and seem to enjoy doing so (obviously they don't pay for ...

Articles 11 and 13 were today passed by the EU parliament, be prepared for big changes in the way the internet operates.  The inventor of the internet, Britain's Tim Berners-Lee, has campaigned against these changes, so I would hardly describe it as "desperate".
