Just thought I'd stick a post in here to offer New members AND those that have joined a while ago BUT prefer to "lurk" on the sidelines ....
A VERY warm welcome .
I (From my own personal experiences on other fora) realise that "pitching" in to the white water of day to day forum life can sometimes be a tad off putting to say the least .....
Folks (Especially on here as we are a very social forum meeting up as often as possible throughout the year)often know each other in the "Real world" as well as in Cyber space,so it can feel lie a big step to get involved .....
IT CAN be ......
I did around 2008 and I can honestly say I have had a wealth of support AND made friends for life .....shared beers/food/laughter AND on a couple of times tears (Chopping onions to go in the field cooked curry ;-) )
I've driven places I wouldn't have believed possible,Viewed vistas to make a grown man weep (Even without onions ) Drunk till i've fallen asleep in front of a camp fire .....
Shared time with people i consider it a privilege to be with .....AND driven many many miles in various heaps of vehicles i have input quite literally BLOOD-SWEAT and TEARS to .
So yes pitching in can be pretty scary BUT maybe ....just MAYBE ....you will end up wondering WHY you didn't do so a heap earlier ....
Go on .....we don't bite .....
Well not too much
