Hi
there,
Welcome to the first issue
of The Drum - your DD member-only
e-newsletter.
When we have relevant news
to tell you, whether about fun events you can join
in, new alliances, exclusive member offers,
special promotions, ambassadors, the causes we
support, etc., we'll let you know. The key word
will always be relevance. And as
a member of our sports-loving community, please
let us know what you'd like to read, what offers
you'd like to receive... we're all about making DD
as useful and as much fun as possible for our
members. Enjoy!
The Double Drummer
Team
P.S. As we're still a very
young, growing community, please be patient if
your first searches haven't provided the results
you were hoping for. Over time, they will... and
by helping us grow Double Drummer, you'll make it
a better community for all our members.

TALKBACK |
We're listening
 This site is such an
awesome idea! I'm into snowboarding and most of my
friends aren't, so hopefully I can find a friend
to go boarding with me this season ? someone
around the same level as me. Saw an article in the
Sunday papers and jumped on here straight away coz
that's exactaly what I had been thinking about! (I
have just come back from snow in Japan). Thanks
heaps for setting this all up!
