Hi All GPS speedsters.

There has been some talk of teams merging and I have taken it upon myself to get things rolling. I see the benofits as:
A greater team and GPS community spirit.
More chances of having 2 members in a session.
Better communication.
Pooling of resources(could purchase a GPS for occasional members to share)

Disadvantages may be people might not contribute to team stats, but that is what getting better, pushing yourself and being part of a team is about.

At the moment we have:
Onboard Speed Demons
Onboard Master Blasters
SA Artheads
SA Gybe Turkeys

OSD and SA Artheads are definately merging, do OMB and SAGT want to do the same? Or do only some of the team want to move?

Here is a list of members confirmed for the new team with some name suggestions below, please add your name and team name suggestion to the list.

Merged SA Team
Tim Hemer
Sam Doecke
Carl MacDonald
Anthony Hamood
Meta Sindos

Tims team names
SA Speed Demons
Southern Speed Demons
SA Mob

Could members please let their teams know about the merge and sort out what they want to do?

Cheers
Tim

seems like a good idea.... however if we (gybe turkeys) join into one big team then we won't really contribute as much (they only take the two fastest sessions) because we're no where near as fast as obsd so i reckon we might stick together as is... me and the old man both have a GPS now (got him one for Christmas) so will be posting together every time and we'll be starting to head out more now hopefully. so yeah i reckon we're fine as is just for now.

Cheers

Hi Tim,

A few guys(4) up here have recently purchased GPS units and they want to join our local team with a possiblity of a couple more joining in the near future.
At this stage we are going to keep our team as it stands with only a name change to Barmera Boardheads if we didn't get these extra numbers we would have certainly merged with you guys.

Cheers

and guyz see if ya can talk CD into joining again.

If ya leave the teams as is, it's always good from local intra-state rivalry point of view.

CD has decided to come back into the comp, and based on the other teams comments above, I think we could leave teams the way they are. OSD will come up with a new name in the next day or so
