emergency help?

hi all,
i was just reading trecce's adventures after leaving stafford and wondered if it would be possible for someone to hold a list of members telephone numbers(with obvious permissions). they would be for use in an emergency to access some assistance in the event of a major breakdown.
there might only be a need for it for members travelling from abroad.

just a thought

My car owners club do a similar thing .....We have a "Help Book" .....it lists the members name,phone number & address [The address is obviously not a good idea in our case,just the town will suffice]
It then gives the following options.
A. I can help with mechanical problems [reserved for the mechanical experts amongst us....although a bit of "moral support" never goes amiss]
B. I can get parts [new or used][Dealers....or anyone with a few "spares" in the shed]
C. I can trailer a broken down 'bike to a place of safety [trailer/van owners .....or at least some-one with somewhere safe to leave your 'bike until it can be fixed]
D. I know a place where it is possible to spend a night for an economical price [Know of any cheap Campsites/B&B's in your area?]
E. I will show other owners interesting places in my locality [Green lanes anyone? .....or a good garage in case of breakdowns].

It works......I've both helped & been helped in the past.....but we keep it to bona fide members of the club,and all the info is in a book which has to purchased [at a nominal cost] ......and if your name aint in it ..... dont bother applying for one,you wont get one!

ride safe
