Right then you points hungry 'orrible lot.

Here's some info that you may find useful to know.............................

YOU DON'T GET ANY POINTS FOR UPLOADING A PIC (MELLOWYELLOW).

So what do you get for your points and how do you earn them i hear you screaming

So for
5000 points you get a nice new SWB t-shirt .
10000 points gets you a nice new SWB hoodie/zipper top.


So how do you earn these points then?????? Simple, forum interaction.

There are a few ways I could explain it but i think the easiest and clearest way is just to stick it in a list for you - that way there's no confusion.

starting a thread................?
posting in a thread.............?
uploading an attachment.....0
Promote an event..............50
Organise a rideout to an event....250
Organise a social event........500
Organise a rideout..............500


There are of course some rules and regs to these points awards, we're not made of imaginary points you know!

Promoting an event
So if you see an event that you think people might be interested in and you post it up you'll get some crisp new points added to your account. Just pm me to let me know. Organise a ride to the event and you'll earn yourself 50 points.

Organise a social event
Be it a pub meet, party, cinema night, pi$$ up, bingo, dog walk etc etc etc - if you plan it and promote it then people will join you. If you want some advice or tips on how to go ahead with it, give us a shout and we'll share some info to make it easy for you. Just pm to let me know.

Organise a rideout
The biggy. So pick a date, time, meeting point and route. Destination if you like or just a route - it's your ride, you decide. But it has to be all yours, if you're organising a ride to something someone else has organised (Bike night, show, etc) then it'll fall under the rideout to an event.
Think about the pace, cater for those who turn up and above all have fun. Need some tips then give us a shout.
If you fail to turn up for your own ride (hungover/shopping/unexpected wedding etc) then not only will you not get your 500 points - but all those who did turn up will get 250 points. If there's a legit reason and you cancel with less than 24 hours before the ride you'll only get 250 points. You have be warned

So there you have it, work in progress so be patient as we try to work it all out. We'll backdate the points awards to 12/7/18 so some of you may already have some points owing. If that's the case then you'll get them, don't panic.

These oh so important points won't be awarded to your tally until the event has taken place.




Over to you then - go get earning !

Good idea
woo hoo, do I get a point for replying?

Apparently yes you do....

How many for a VFR V5 ?

You offering it up as a prize?

To be clear Herr Billi, have we arrived at a decision on what replaces the two ??'s in the following? - Quote . . . . starting a thread................?
posting in a thread.............?

they have always been running, it was just to see if you were looking at your tally going up for each post

Whoop whoop, just crossed the 10000 points mark.

Yep I do need to get a life.

Remind me what do you get is that hoody time?

Oh yeah it’s at the top of this post

Congrats Robbo87, 5000 points, when you've made your choices, a t-shirt will be on it's way to you.

Having passed the 7500 point mark there is my free subscription for the year.

I notice Robbo87 is less then 600 points away from a free subscription as well.

The bit I a really excited about is I am only 565 away from a free hoodie. A couple of posts and lead a ride out and I’m there

Mellow yellow also passed the 5000 points mark so T-Shirts away

Have you factored in the 95% reduction for moderators ??

Actually there are some pictures on his facebook page that say this without the need for the T shirt
