Total rubbish on both points.
Yep, Mrs Berin is made very welcome and always has been, and we ride with people on everything from Serows and 4rides, old Jap 175’s, to newer KTM’s and the like.

I know many people who fill such roles in clubs and they do just as good job as if they were "proper jobs". I know at least three people who fill the role of group contact/rep in the link I posted and whilst they did "put their hand up to take on a task" they have done if for years and to a very high standard. There's a long list of very accomplished hand putter uppers in the TRF filling many important roles from event organisation, ROW officer (a term that our local authority likes to use), researchers, map markers and just people happy to meet and greet new members. Just because they don't have a job description doesn't make it not a job, they are all jobs that need doing.
I was not knocking their capability, my point was don’t knock them if you don’t get what you expect as they are just people doing there bit for the organisation/club and yes some happen to do that very well.
Thanks for clarifying, it came across a bit dismissive to me when I was pointing out that they do have reps, the TRF does actually require each group to be structured and have certain officers in particular roles. Some groups are better at this than others and my local group has nearly always had long serving and professional acting members in those roles, I note you're just across the border from me in Devon so you may well know some of them.
My TRF activity was in Herts where I was one of those ROW bods you mention - I sold by trail capable bikes before I moved here but starting to get itchy feet for it again
Great lanes in Devon. I spent a weekend at the TRF annual event (can't remember the name of it, something to do with the rivers in Devon).

I think you also did Teign to Tamar when it was based at Wheeldon. I don't think you were ever in my group, I always used an XR200.
why not buy an o/s map and find the lanes yourself! its part the fun of riding your bike ,you may find others will join you .
Because people have done that in my area and had their bikes confiscated. That is why I am so reluctant to just go out on my own
