LG Express

It's something that we have in a few of the clubs I'm in, and it's essentially an inter club courier service that is free and reliable. It's all trusted, known, long standing members, so it's going to be safe (different clubs have different policies, but the best ones I know of is a voted in system) and it just helps everyone out a bit.



Best example is the current one between myself and 4th Gen Phil.

Phil wanted some suspension for his lude, and found some on eBay in Welling, Kent, but was a bit far for him to drive there and postage would be rather expensive. I live in Kent, very near to Welling, so I'll go and collect the suspension for him, and then, as we're both going to the mid-July Gathering, I'll bring them with me so he can have them.

By doing it this way, Phil doesn't have to pay over the odds for postage, gets the deal he wants without being constrained by locality, and as it's round the corner from me, and we're both going to the Gathering, it's not costing any extra in fuel for an unnecessary journey.



I propose we have a section called the LG Express, with a list of members involved with it, along with their location, such as:


South East
- Crazy_C - Bexleyheath, Kent

South
- Dbo - Southampton
- 4th Gen Doug - Bournemouth

South West
- Honda Hardy - Chippenham - North Wiltshire
- Bristol BB4 - Bristol
- Nucleustylzlude - Bristol

East Anglia
- 4thgenphil - Norfolk
- Tashini - Cambridgeshire / Norfolk

Midlands
- Rob Quilter - Derbyshire

North West
- Mercutio - Manchester
- 2lude - Lancaster

Scotland
- Indigolemon - Fife




What do y'all think, yay or nay on the LG Express?

Well that's quite a bit of the country covered already. Neil, that's why I said about people who are trusted which if you look, majority of the names already here are ones from LB, PUK, and some even from the Honda Revolution days
