They were my initial thoughts too Paul, however it does give us a lot more Sections, our own Moderators ([God Help Us All] in the Two Ronnies .............sorry Andys )
I would point out that most CADS Members are SIDC Members too (In fact they need more than a note from their Mum if they are not) and we actively promote the SIDC at our meets, especially as I'm keen to get as much circulation for True Grip as possible
The CADS Forum in no way is designed to replace the CADS section on the SIDC but rather compliment it and hopefully help us attract new blood and hence eventally the SIDC.
It also enables us to sell CADS Clothing thus promoting the CADS and eventually the SIDC.
Don't forget other Regional Groups have their own forums too.
I hope we'll see you on the CADS Forum soon if only occassionally Paul and certainly would like to see you and Debs at the next meet.

I hope I didn't singe your flame suit at all!
