How not to run a Off Road club!

[tjsahara00]

I'm a member and used to be on staff
of North Ga Jeepers...... checked their
page today and saw the response by
a staff member to someone saying the
club was dead......


Bout like NGJ......DEAD!

This is how a staff member responded so everyone could see;

Well if members would get off their #$$e$ and
get involved maybe this group wouldn't be "DEAD".   
This comment was not directed at you it's was meant
for the group as a whole....

This is what I think about it..........
When a club your in is not going well and
they just schedule meet and greets, a swap
meet to sell parts. Don't schedule any rides
and the club page has crickets chirping then
someone makes a comment like that.....
Don't blame the members

lol. I guess that is one way to get the point across.

I personally think he should go f himself
They don't try getting people to ride any
more and only post meet and greets every
where on social media but hardly even post
on the club web page...but was quick to
make comments like that to the members.

So if it's dead then it's because of the staff
in my opinion.....

GATR is only alive because of its members, it has nothing to do with the staff, at all.  The scheduling of trips, handling of leading groups at the open events, maintaining the forum, POTM, etc...has nothing to do with a successful off-road club.





LOL.  Just kidding.  Praise be to all of the staff.  Sorry, praise be to Allah, but the staff is really close to Allah.

LOL  sorry, i only saw your statement, did not know any history.  was not sure if u had gone postal (you have been known to be Odd at times, but then again, many of our Staff has known to be Odd.. ).   

going back to sleep.

Trust me I know....I resurrected that club for over a year.
I couldn't hardly get them to ride out of state so I gave up
on trying. BUT I never once took the opportunity to tell the
members to get off their ass.....

Just hit me wrong reading his comments

Well hopefully we do better.  i know we ride a lot, we do a few meets, but im glad we are mostly a wheeling bunch.  still.  we cook, drink..  generally just have a good time.    the staff does a great job of keeping us focused and on task.

Clarke,  you are, in part, correct. It takes the staff to maintain a club but active members to make a club.
While I 100% agree with Kevins comments I don't think it's productive to bad mouth another club. Just let them slowly die off & enjoy all that GATR has to offer.
I too am a former staff member of NGJ & stepped down due to a lack of  folks "giving a sh!t". I enjoy wheeling not talking about it. I also enjoy meet & greets but I think they should be held at offroad parks or after a ride, not instead of a ride.

But they are doing their best with what they have to work with.

Ok i confess. It was my comment that got the staff upset...



I really only check in there because there's some folks who live close to me who I'm still friends with. guess I'll have to start FB messaging them...

No doubt GATR members make it great.  Staff are members too, but do a little more. Everyone has input. 

Danny has really stepped up the last couple of years to make sure rides and calendars get posted.  Thanks.

It's awesome to have folks that like to wheel and CAN afford the time and expense to do it together in places that offer serious challenges in legal settings.  GATR CORE rigs are getting big and very capable. 

But please make note,
we must continue to welcome the stock rigs and newbs and provide leadership for them at every level, rides and advice, for the club to continue to thrive and survive.

We need a good group of stock rigs and parks that have level 1 trails.

[Jeepster1407]

I agree with you @Doug. We all started stock at one point. It seems most "Clubs" die when the founders and/or original members leave...
