 To-days traffic conditions, make getting to weekday events a punishment, not enjoyment.So most drivers have a little more time at weekends to go to an event on a monthly + basis, providing they are not hundred,s of Miles round trips.A growing support for Regions to be made more User friendly, by division into North, South, East, West with these local area,s having perhaps 3-4 meets during the year organised by the members who know their area, s well, driving time & distance reduced.The 4 sections can jointly organise a larger Main Region event perhaps once or twice a year, depending on Support.This general Idea, spreads the work around, so that the Same Doer,s are not doing all the work as usual.Its normal to have 8-10% active in any one region, so the other 90%, are asking WHY is the Region Quiet????.National Events inc Better Driving Days, would be as is, with work support by many various regional doer,s.As now, ANY member is welcome at any Regional event.With the intention that this Club will grow with more members, we need to move with the times, and conditions for our Future.What do YOU think??????------------- SAFETYFAST |

John, I like the idea of mini local meets within the regions which are supplemented by region wide/section meets. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |
