National Meet

Whats the plans for this year?

Hello Charlie,
Plans are in progress for the National... we discussed it at Sunday's committee meeting. Keep and eye out for info as the plans get firmed up.

Well Terry if its where I think it is?, me and a lot of other northerly folk wont be going.

Maybe the committee should reconsider before making a final decision on this.

Its always been a mystery to me how the committee on here works... Why do you never ask what the rest of the members want, or discuss what went on at the secret meetings?

Well Charlie you have made two good points. To be honest i am not sure how the decison was made or proposed for the location of the national. But it is very early days so maybe we should have a discussion /poll on the board to decide.

Rob,
What do u think about a national thread and a poll on location.

Secondly the committee meetings have no secrets. In fact once the minutes are available I think they should / will be published in the members section of the website. Then all of the members will see what has been discussed.

Dear Charles..

This is exactly why after years of membership I finally decided not to renew last year..I won't go into detail but what happened to me (and another member) was beyond belief!
Basically it's a case of 'if you ain't in the clique, you ain't coming in!'

Good luck!

Luciano,
I think that's a very harsh response. The Committee is certainly not a clique and since the club has changed the committee members we have all worked hard to turn the club around for the better.

There is no secrecy and I for one would not be on the committee if that was the case. Anything we do is open and transparent and if anyone wants to know anything then they can phone me. We had the meeting last Sunday via Skype and are awaiting the minutes to become available. Please remember that we do this for fun and in our spare time whilst doing all the other things we have to do like work, look after our families etc.

I don't know what happened to you and your friend in the past but if it helps to mend bridges then please call me and we can have a chat. My mission along with the rest of the committee is to have a good year for the club this year and to put all of the bad things that have previously happened behind us. It's all about the car and the members and we want to do everything we can to deliver on that. So if you are unhappy about anything I am only a phone call away.

Please call me and lets have a chat as fellow X1/9 owners and let me understand how I can help and hopefully persuade you back into the club.

Regards,

Terry.

Hi all, there will be no cliques on my watch, yes I have my friends but it's got to be transparent to all members.

It's about the cars not politics

Anyone need anything or want to say anything in confidence PM me and I will try to fix any situations

Be happy and have a beer

Luciano mate. To be honest I think Rob, Terry, and the rest of the new crew are doing a good job, and whatever happened in the past will not happen again, I don't think.

My only grump is the lack of communication with the members.. But lets give them a chance

All the best Charlie

Charlie,
Thanks for the reply... Please don't take this the wrong way it is a genuine question about communication in the club.

What areas do you feel as a committee we are lacking in the communication department? If we have some idea of what additional information the members want and when then we can do our best to oblige.

It might well be that I set up a separate thread or an area off the forum to put club comms in so that it doesn't get lost in the general run of threads on the board.

Regards,

Terry.

Just simply who was present and what was proposed and discussed. It would keep the members informed of whats going on in their club behind closed doors.

I cant recall seeing the minutes of any meeting, so that would be a start I think.

minutes posted within days of meeting would be a good idea, would stop ideas and suggestions made at meeting being turned into gospel truth decisions.

Evening all - yes I agree we need to get the minutes up here in the members section so I will speak with Steve.

Luciano I know we have never spoken before but if I can be of any help to get to the bottom of the issue then please do call me or pm me at your convenience.

All the best

Rob

Come on Luciano.. Spill the beans mate

Nice looking car you have from what I can see. Any better pictures?
