After seeing such a good turn out of Beemers at Gaydon last year, I joined the Club straight away. Getting together regularly is an important part of being a member. The Hams Hall trip gets a thumbs up from me too !! Andy Birmingham |

Hi everyone this thread looks interesting. Activity in Central Region. I probably wont have time to put Hams Hall together. I only have 3 weeks to sort the Cotswold event which at first was tentative but I think I'll run it even if theres only 2 cars as I know its a good day out. So the Cotswold Cruise is on. I met a PR chap from Hams Hall a year or so back and he said they'd love to have us round -maybe even food provided etc. Contact details were Jason Reakes BMW Hams Hall , Canton Lane, Hams Hall, Coleshill, N Warwickshire B46 1GB

Hello Everybody.
Just been having a read through the threads,after Nigel kindly PM'd me. Some interesting ideas bouncing around, especially the Morgan factory trip. My biggest problems are that: A/ I live in Aylesbury, which means a minimum of an hour/hour + half drive, so therefore only allows me to attend anything on a weekend, but, even thats not always good because:- B/ I work shifts, which sometimes go into saturday mornings! One of John's ( B7 VP) ideas made me chuckle, then cringe!!.... A trip to the Mini factory at Oxford. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) I travel there 4 days a week, as thats where I work! Fair play if you want to have a look tho, they do have arranged factory tours there which you can book up. If I remember rightly, they are free, but may ask for a donation to charity. I will try and find out the details of who you need to speak to, and post them on here, if anybody wants them. As John also mentioned, we have had a couple of pub meets at Milton Keynes on a sunday lunchtime. One of the things we discussed was also varying the location, so the next one is going to be in Aylesbury, possibly Sunday 25th Jan. Venue to be confirmed. I will start a new thread for that tho. I will keep my eyes peeled as to what is going on, and join in wherever, and whenever possible. Cheers folks Regards Mark. Edited by Ratbark |

Nigel,
Good Lord! There is life in the old Central Region after all Malvern trip - with or without Morgan visit - great idea, put me down - weekend please. Likewise, pub lunch, great idea - does it have to be kiddie friendly? I'd like to get away from the little m*nst*rs once in a while (only kidding dear!) Cruise? - er, sorry Phil, no go. |

ok everyone, thanks for all the responses. I'm waiting for Darren to pop up, best give him a couple of days...only polite really, he explained to me how you can get bogged down with club stuff, I'll probably give him a ring tomorrow evening if I'm home early enough. Peter, the sarcasm is only light hearted I'm sure, I didnt know about the stuff you used to do until we spoke with each other, so I'm sure no one is taking the mickey. Its just coming up to my second renewal, so not been a member for long, and its very very easy to tread on toes here, you can appear as a very senior member on here and you havent actually done much for the club, on the other hand, you can appear as a newbie and have been a member for years and years, like yourself and John, and dare I say...kevin. Its been a dam good response though, and has even taken me by suprise. To re-cap 1) A few of us fancy a pub lunch, Davids looking at the first one in the east midlands. 2) The malvern trip looks like it has a lot of interest..I'm just waiting for Darren, that ones his baby. 3) Hams Hall looks a good one, phil doesnt have time, again I'll run it past Darren, and if he wants to do it, thats fine, if not, and he's happy about it I'll contact them. 4) ratbark, good old boy as he is , is going to look into a mini tour for us. 5) dont forget phils cruise, go on, someone see if they can keep up with him So far so good, I've run what I've done so far past a club offical, now I need to get Darren Webster involved, he is the central area rep, not me, I'm just a bod here !! Nice one chaps, I'll be in touch shortly Edited by Nigel |

Gentlemen I have spoken to Darren Webster today. He hasnt been on the forum as he has computer problems, so hadnt recieved my e-mail. So until he is online again, I'm posting his replys, and am in contact by phone. He is very pleased with the response. The pub lunches are just organised by ourselves, if we give the club office notice, they will publicise them for us. The Morgan trip : Darren informs me that I need to get at least 10 people for this, and it will most likely be in May. I will now post in the club events forum, will those who were kind enough to give thier support please re-post as a reply in there, will they either e-mail or pm me with thier club membership number or contact telephone number. I have to contact hams hall to see if they will give us a tour, and if so, how many people they want to attend. Mark, re mini plant. Darren thinks the club are already organising a tour around your workplace, if you have time could you check with the club office so we dont double. Apparently Aston Martin is a no no at this time.

With regards to the initial Milton Keynes meets-I may start non-CC advertising due to the level of BMs there are around here, flyers may drum up further interest especially if you consider there are 3 other E36 M3s in my village and I regularly see other older BMs including an M3GT on my MK trips.

Have you noticed that most BMWCC regions have a committee that arranges and organises the region and events. I'm on the Z register committee along with 2 others and thats newly formed. Perhaps someone should ask Darren whether such a committee should be formed and as the area director he would /should chair it. There would then be some cohesion to the regional plans. Just food for thought. Looks like I'll have a good turnout for my Cotswold event but no Central region members. |

Not too sure where you coming from here Phil. Darren IS doing this, his computer is broken. Although I made the original post, I spoke to him first. I've run everything I'm doing past a committe member. Confused of Worcester ?????????????????? Edited by Nigel |

I shall endevour to speak to the office next week re Mini plant tour, just so we dont get our wires crossed, or double book! Chances are that you might end up doing the tour while Im at work! but as I work in the paint shop, I dont get to see the tours because of health and safety reasons, the dont come in our building. Will pm you to let you know what they say, if thats ok? Regards Mark. |

Thats fine Mark, if you think that is easier than asking the club office. I think the committe have a meeting soon. Your probably too young to remember , I cant think what it was called, but there was a program on the telly when I was a kid, where a bloke in a cap with a bell would say in a northern accent "members of the committee" whilst ringing the bell. whenever committe is mentioned I always think of that. Nurse... the screens please
