Is it true that the Gun may be split in 2, for 1/2 British and 1/2 Indian bikes?
Can't see how that would work in practice... what about rideouts with both, or tech stuff that would apply to either? Any ideas?

It would Be a Very Small Club With Out Indian Bikes or Bits and the Best supported With..

Mind You My GUN has Just arrived So Will Read Tomorrow....... But "Ride & Enjoy"....

hi chris i,ve read this today front english back indian ,it would appear that mr benton and co are trying to split the club,i will be at the agm and ask if this is the case because the indian side of the club could be bigger than the english, this could cause a lot of bother and i,m supprised that the national committee have allowed this motion to be aired,also this would cause the editor of the gun a headache its like aparthide for the reoc,also i note that they want to send the gun via the internet to members with p.c,s well i,ll have that and i think the membership fee for those participating should be lowered as there would be no postage costs to the i.t recievers ,another hot potatoe?

Saw this in The Gun today - to be honest, I hope the motion for a split magazine gets defeated at the AGM in October. It sends a message that the club is split into two parts.

As far as I'm concerned, the club should value all Enfields equally, even if some were built in Britain

just a thought lads come to the agm its a great day out great buffet last year but if you come fetch your membership cards or you,ll not get in lets defeat this slack motion!!!

Hi Guys------ mine came to-day as well. Damm printing is so small,but just where is this reference to splitting the mag into Brit & Indian ?? Maybe I've missed it somewhere ??

Paul, Can't, unfortunately, make it... even with your suggestion of food pulling at me strongly!

Just had another look at the magazine and still can't see how they'd do it properly.... 3 letter pages? [1] for british, [2] for Indian, [3] for social that might include God forbid both, and the same for technical tips such as How to make an ashtray for your Bullet ( I made that bit up ] And what about the MAG pages... print the same thing twice, once in the Indian and one in the Brit section??? Somebody's selling a chair. Will he need to advertise it twice???? Ad on the back page for Holidays in Brittany and another on the front page for holidays in Brittany?? Membership renewal notice x2 ??/ OMG, time to stop and have a quiet whisky before bedtime. Chris

OK this is just my opinion......get ready to be upset..........WHY do we chop down trees to print a magazine in this day and age???? Surely we could do a better job on line (and save a deal of members cash as well)

Sorry, Alan, just had a little drink and seen your query:

For British readers: It's on a separate sheet, not in the magazine itself.
For Indian readers: It's on a separate sheet, not in the magazine itself.

its the agm adgenda behind your address alan you probably binned it,i aggree with pete f. postage trees although i don,t want to subsidise the non P.C GANG ATB PAUL.
