Nice one Jeff Spangle!  your a

I noticed that you got a plug in for this forum on the BMW Car Club forum, with this site's new web address...

so, if people really do want assistance, fun and a warm welcome, they know where to come.

It just shows you the mentality of it all, the thread has been locked...lol

Treacle ?...thats cow poo Jeff

I'm surprised it was only locked too, never mind, you can always start another & discuss

Thats rubbish, The main reason nothing is being said anymore is because most people just want to move on now. No disrespect to Killian and the guys but whats happened has happened and is not likely to change,and I'm sure that they will be the first to agree that in spite of whats happened people should not start slagging off the members in general because they choose to use the new forum or remain members of the club. The club has been around since 1952, long before most members were born. Chairmen and committees come and go and will continue to do so but the club will remain in some form or another. The situation has not stopped us using this forum if we want to and most of us do want to use it still . But rather than be sitting in front of my PC going over the same ground again and again I want to be discussing doing things with the club and people in the club who are my mates. Why not come and join us, tomorrow, Oulton Park BMW Kumho Championship. There is no chairman ,no committee. no forums, just a bunch of petrol heads who happen to be in the BMW car club having a good time watching some great motor racing. Thats what the club is about. Come and enjoy yourself, I know I will be.

Nor me, the chairman has spoilt the club for me, why should I wish to move on and give him victory ?

For those that maybe interested, I'm teasing things here

Is it childish? Maybe, I don't care really.

No one seems to dare to comment. Very odd. Some forum!

Steven - I appreciate your balanced approach to this and your remarks that the heart of club membership / forum usage is about being BMW / car enthusiasts are laudable.

That said, is it not also apparent to you that there is more to this than folk disagreeing over fora? Why have 2 BMWCC members been asked to attend a National Committee meeting to make representations that they should not be forcibly removed from the club? Why has the club chairman twice brought the matter up in print after it should have been laid to rest? Why has the 'disillusioned of Yorkshire' matter been handled in a way different from that in which it would have been handled in the past?

I had in the past defended the club and thought tales passed on were exaggerated or due to personality clashes. They were not. There is something seriously wrong at the heart of the club. There has to be where 3 regions and a register that I know of are seriously disgruntled.
