Back to the Future !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Everyone Welcome at the Motor Heritage Centre --Gaydon--Junc 12 M40, 2 mins to the car park. 2-00PM. 12th February.

 We need to re-organise the Region, to reduce the time taken to get to an event, and encourage NEW idea.s.

ALL interested owners are invited to Tell it like it is, and what they would like it to BE.

With such a large region, and some great locations for meeting up for a Drive out, or Visit Motor related sites, or competition driving, or ----and Thats where YOU come in  to Tellus.

Nobody will be sentenced to 10 years on the Gridlocked Motorways if you attend, and your idea,s may interest  hundreds of drivers and their families.

"Central-Alive in 2005" ( Good that eh,!!! just thought it up,!!!! see if I can do it-YOU can)

I still say that the central region is too big and needs subdividing. If anyone else fancies going let me know.

OK heres an idea that I'll bring along to the meeting.

Why don't we subdivide the Central region into smaller regions based on N,S,E & W or by earmarking 5-6 key towns/cities and have a committee made up of 1 member who resides/ looks after that area.

e.g 1-2 rep for Wales,
1 for Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire & Warwickshire.
1 for Hereford & Worcester, Northamptonshire
1 for West Midlands
1 for Northants,Bucks,Beds
etc etc.

At least this way it'll give more views on an overall 'do' agenda and also will give a more focussed view on organising smaller meets.

John, fancy a small convoy up to Gaydon or are you going up earlier?

Going to try to make this, got some work comitments that weekend but I'm trying to get out of them.

I agree with John, maybe we should split it up into smaller sub regions.

John if you fancy a run up I'll join you,

See you at The Harvester end of month

Mick

Yes--All good stuff--Keep the idea,s coming.Everyone has a VERY busy Life, and family comes No 1.Lots of demand on time, and difficult sometimes to remember to keep in touch.So the first or last --day of the month couple of hours meetup, is a good idea.

Its taken a year + just to get the MK/Aylesbury/Northants idea accepted, and could be repeated all over the region.Some already do this, but dont tellus!!!!!.Having enough notice of a meeting is also important, not everyone uses the web.

 

There are some very good ideas bouncing around here, just what the central region needs. I agree 100% with what John(Stone-Island) is saying about the write ups on the Central region in the mag. We look like the region that does the least amount, we are the hole in the Car Clubs polo mint!

As the other John(B7VP) also pointed out, we all have other commitments that come first, thats life but if we all club together Im sure we slip the Central Region onto pole position.

My suggestion would be to have less people called John!!
Only kidding!

I cant promise that i'll be there as it falls on Sarah's weekend off, but we'll see what she says. mind you, she's never been to Gaydon before.... hmmmmmmmmm

Im off to put the charm hat on

John

I frequent a number of other forums and there is a meets section on most of them, any meet even just a small get together (as we had at the Havester the other month), has a write up and photos, so I feel this would be a great idea.

Mods

Please, please

The A466 is an awesome road, running from Chepstow to Monmouth. Winds its way along the river and up and down the valleys.

Would be a great place to meet I reckon.

Annoyed phil p.s. lots of looks on my posts but NO ONES INTERESTED?

And whats this?

South Central area meets being organised monthly in and around Beds/Bucks/Northants.

Also, theres a thread about organising a meet up with South Central region with East Anglian region which looks like being scheduled for February.

And the Central region AGM, and the better driving days.

It took me a year to get the MK meets past 2 people to where it is now and thats with posting on other forums plus the MK meets being held 5 mins walk from where a mod on another forum lives and he's been to 1.

Through perseverance with meets the MK meet extended last year to Northampton and Aylesbury (big thanks to Mick & Mark) and with further perseverance the meet in Jan looks like it'll have some guys from other BM forums attending.

People have got families/other commitments and will not attend every event. Personally I wouldnt bother with a RR event but thats just me.Last check I made you've had posts on your threads but why give out email ads etc when they're all on profile and this can all be sorted by PM.

Theres no reason the MK etc meets couldnt be extended to Coventry area or further afield but thats something that'd need the water testing on.

I'm not having a go but that post was a bit unfair and I'm sure most people who went to the meets last year will tell you I'm a sensitive wee lamb.
