If you thought 2010 was a busy year (averaging 10 events per week!) then 2011 is going to blow you away!   We're planning some HUGE events, out first official BM rally for example (announced today in the forum) plus some other events that will surprise everyone.   However, organising all these events takes a lot of time and effort and we need a big team to take care of it all.  There's licenses, insurance, venues, refreshments, etc to organise for most.   If you'd like to be part of the Biker Match team and think you could contribute even just a little to our Events Team, please reply here or send me a message.   Please note that this is a voluntary position.  No time commitment is required, every little helps (as Tesco once said).   Thanks in advance.     Disclaimer before I forgot... Please only LONG-TERM members who have a full BM account apply.  We tend to find that newer members put their name down but don't stick around long enough and people who have a full account have already shown that they want to support the site.                                                                                                                                                                             

Well, I can contribute custom engraved prizes if they are needed - either mirrors or tankards.

thanks Gat, really good to know.  We should get a contact list put together with people like yourself on it.  I'll talk to the team.   Ian, thanks!

hiya - i know im new ( ish ) and most people take there own pics - but if the site needs its own photographer - then my services are here as i intend to get to as many ralies as possible this year                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm around from Scotland anywayz

Madhat has taken on the Scotland run this year and I'll maybe throw in some Highland Fling runs that I do for a few clubs anyway
                                                                                                                                                                             

Ok Although I'm newish I'm happy to help if I can                                                                                                                                                                               

Doesn't matter how new you are, anyone is at liberty to post a thread suggesting a ride out/meeting and, like Sandi says, as soon as you know you have some interest submit it to events and "bob's your uncle".  Easy as 1, 2, 3.  Any tips needed just PM one of the existing event team, doesn't matter what area they are in they'll all offer advice I'm sure.   If you're confident enough that you can get things up and running in a particular area submit your name to Matt in a PM along with your ideas and ask to go on event team staff and he'll take it from there.                                                                                                                                                                             

& if you have an idea but dont want to take it on on your own , drop a PM to one of the events team in your area ... we are always willing to help someone sort something                                                                                                                                                                              

BB... let me phrase this right, lol... "WE NEED you"  ;-P   Fantastic that we're getting so many volunteers.  I better get a pen and paper out to start keeping track.   I'll be in touch with each of you individually.  Thanks again   Keep volunteering please folks, this is THE bikers social site in Britain and we can't have too many events. Cheers                                                                                                                                                                             

bikerbitch, big twin and ianhg all added to the events team.  More formal announcement when we've got a few more volunteers.   Thanks guys                                                                                                                                                                             

I'd love to help out (NE) but due to finances will be letting my membership here slip.
There are so many folks from the NE and no events by any of us?? There must be a willing Northerner oot there???
