I know the forum is a bit slow at the moment as the crappy weather / xmas etc all take their toll. However, it's not all sheltering from rain and wrapping pressies as we are in the process of building a brand new forum on a much faster server for you to use in the New Year.

While we are in the process of putting the new forum together and things are generally a bit quieter hereabouts, we'd like your input on a few things. I guess the BIG question is "How can we improve your experience of the group as a whole?"

Here are a few questions of mine but please feel free to add your own.

FORUM
What features would you like see that we don't have now?
What features don't you like?

RIDE OUTS
Where would you like to go to on your ride outs next year?
What's the maximum distance you'd like to cover in a single day?
What about camping weekends? I know some don't like camping but the two we did last year were enjoyed by those who attended.

SOCIAL EVENTS
Is there anywhere you'd particularly like to go to or is there an an activity you'd like to try?

Please take some time and have a think about the issues involved as we (the mods) want you to get the most out of the group as possible and although we recognise that we can't please all of the people all of the time, we are prepared to give it a damned good go!

We look forward to reading your replies!

So far the only issue I have with the site is:
Taking so long to download pics.
Other than that NO probs at all. Thanks guys and gals.
Looking forward to the new site.

Pauline! Speed was one of the reasons the mods decided to consider a different server so hopefully you will not only find uploading / downloading photo's quicker but general browsing speed will be enhanced also.

Any thoughts about the other topics thus far?

Hello, I think it's a great site already My only issue is that if i want to come to pub on a Thursday night, it's a flippin long way to go, different pub, different weeks maybe And not being a computer bod I don't know how to download pictures anyway (no mention of blondes please)

We do move around on pub nights occasionally. We used to have a Sunday night up in the Cotswolds but I guess a Sunday night in the Forest isn't a bad idea. Good suggestion though.

Re: Computer skills....

Oh you're so funny, NOT Any lessons gratefully received

Great idea about moving round pubs. Be great in the summer with light nights we can go on the bikes. So many lovely pubs with cracking scenary about.
