    "There are not that many regular posters, really"

    That depends which way you are looking at it.

    There are a few who post a lot (yeah including me).

    Some who say something almost every day.

    There is a bigger category of 'irregular, but when something needs adding'.

    Some people who mostly just add (useful) info.

    There are a few people who have posted two or three times over two or three years.

    I'm still a bit surprised at the number of people who register and never post.

    Not a problem - unless they are too shy/feel intimidated.

    Interesting thinking back to the original Cycling Scotland forum. It briefly became very popular with some here using it to arrange rides. Then it got closed down as I believe the forum was being used to express opinions - not all of them complimentary about CS!
    It was then re-started but no idea how well frequented it is now. CCE forum took its place as far as I was concerned - debates here seem more constructive.

    With regards Spokes: Although the world of virtual is starting to overtake the actual, I still think getting people to speak and be questioned at meetings is useful. This takes organisation so I don't be-grudge a voluntary contribution. There is no Spokes membership card so events such as these (and the Spokes Sunday rides) are open to all. I do accept that I may have some commercial conflict as the Spokes aim to get more families cycling could mean some extra sales! Yes - I know the QBC doesn't succeed here.

    There is no Spokes membership card

    That's odd. I receive one every year by post...

    I honestly couldn't tell you if I get a membership card or not (don't think so though). But presumably what laidback means is there a no member specific benefits (other than delivery of information).

    F. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

    a. Sun April 28 - volunteer needed to help at a Sustrans stall at the Scottish Bike Show in Glasgow, where we have been offered a corner for Spokes materials. Travel will be paid, but you MUST be a member of Spokes AND of Sustrans. Contact Judy.Cantley[AT]btopenworld.com.

    b. In the recent survey of spokes members we gave a choice of online or paper completion. Unfortunately more paper forms were returned than we expected, and it would be very helpful if one or two people [with internet access at home] could volunteer to enter a batch, ideally 50-100 forms. If you can help, ideally in around the last week of March, contact DaveduFeu[AT]gmail.com.

    c. We have plenty copies of new Spokes Bulletin 115 still available. If you would like a pile - for example to leaflet bikes in central Edinburgh or your local shopping area, please contact Spokes [Haymarket and Waverley bike racks have been done!]
