well lets keep our fingers crossed charlie, i think the main problem there is that you have done sutch a good job over the years as editor that it makes it harder for some one new to take over the reins and keep that standard up, you will be a hard man to follow :D, and that is the reason why i think debate is needed

[vhgmcbuddy]

well my thoughts are
the new forum was supposed to be an improvement on the old one for members as far as ime concerned as a member the loss of our calander is going backwards for the club and for the forum, we were also told we would have our own gallerys to put our photos in/ we have lost the notafacations that we have a pm from the site and yes we are emailed but 9 times out of ten that goes into my spam mail the only plus point i see so far is that it is easeier to load photos, i think it is time for us members to be told what the plans for the forum are and what are the thoughts of the chairman on the future of the club. lets have an open debate its a new year lets start it in the right way before all the silly sniping starts again like it did at the begining of last year, we were promised so much has all these ideas gone by the wayside, now please lets here from all the forum members there thoughts and then go with the majority PS what happens if a new editor is not found no cultivator-no calander?

The Rotacut had different engines fitted (2 stroke JAP and 4 stroke Clinton on later models) but the chassis and wheel configuration look the same

[vhgmcbuddy]

Well Happy New Year to you all, i can see valdid points on both sides but as Darren says we are in the mobile age we must embrace it,The Cultivator is the right place but if you miss the copy date no one knows about your event, it can be three months between arranging an event and getting it in the cultivator.so i think we need the elctronic version as well, on a matter such as this we surly must ask the membership after all they are the club.

At the risk of upsetting one or two members here, not intended. I think that attitude stinks………. “if you want to know, join” !!!
What has happened here, where is the open arms welcome to OUR club???
I make no apology for saying it, but aren’t those sort of attitudes going to end up with the club losing members, making it seem clique-y, unwelcoming to prospective new members. I certainly wouldn’t join…. A bit like my experience at Tractor world 2 years ago, tried to say hi on the stand and was met with turned backs and continued conversation in huddles! If it hadnt been for Gareth, S1G, I probably would have said stuff it! On the subject of losing members, i’ve already noticed a significant drop in folk posting on this new site, but thats something else…..
It seems that anyone dare question, suggest or even offer an opinion gets shot down with pointy comments, stonewall silence or the threat of being removed…..
All I amm trying to say is we should be promoting this hobby, interest, way of life for some, preserving the past for future generations…… not building barriers, shutting doors and turning folk away. Continue this way and there is no future here. Change happens, things do need to move on, the next generation of members dont want to be restricted to waiting for the quarterly publication, which hasnt always arrived, they want electronic access, instant, fast, efficient…… A bit like when digging by hand moved on to mechanised cultivation……. come on guys, please?
EDIT
Ooops forgot…. Happy new year too!

So how about anyone who has signed up for a trial membership on here and wants to know what is going on in 2014 ??

[vhgmcbuddy]

70 YOGM page 256 theres the Qualcast Rotacut, very similar if not the same (badge engineering)

[vhgmcbuddy]

There was the Suffolk Centaur and a similar Qualcast branded machine and latterly the OMC Lrawnboy

[vhgmcbuddy]

do not remember these paul but that’s going to be a great addition to your collection. have seen a mower with a similar wheel configuration but at the moment its a blank
