Time I Had My Say....

[Pele]

Unfortunately I lost my internet at the beginning of the debate, and am at present using a friends computer, so after this my replies may be few and far between depending on whether I can use other people's computers.

I'd like to thank those who have said such nice things and supported me, and I must admit that I have been plesantly suprised by some of those who are supporting me, but not so suprised by those who have not.

What I can't understand is why people don't say these things to me at the meets, why they feel they have to put it onto a public forum. Am I that scary that you can't take me to one side and have a chat? I don't feel that I am unnaprochable, I am the one who meets and greets all the new members, and if I wasn't approchable then they wouldn't be coming back would they? Speaking of which there were new members at the last meet who felt they were left to fend for themselves and were just about to leave when I turned up. There are also a few regulars who have pm's or text me to say if I hadn't kept speaking to them at meets they wouldn't have come back - that hardly helps this 'divide' that seems to be getting bigger and bigger does it?

To Dal, it wasn't a lie about the last artist not letting me have the logo - if an artist designs something it belongs to them unless signed over, and this was never done, hence him getting the hump because we used someone else for stickers. It has been done this time so the logo belongs and is copyrighted to me so I have the say in who uses it.

KentModded. I've had several people ring me since the show and they have all said a similar thing, the asked for me in person and were told not to even mention my name, how strange is that? One thing I will say is that if I had of had the money and a babysitter, I would have been at Rally Day as I've not been on track for a while and I feel the need to let off some steam lol.

I've been speaking to a lot of people in the last couple of weeks both older and newer members, some of which have stopped coming to meets because of the 'clicky' group that seems to form they don't feel it's worth trying to talk to people - this needs to stop if we are to keep members.

Another thing is, how many of you have been to every single meet since you joined? How many people have planned their holidays around the club? How many people have been asked to give up a relationship because some mebmers don't approve?

And finally T-shirts. Ha, a joke I know. Big Jay is now sorting these (big thanks!), but how many people who have complained will actually be buying one? I can't wait to see the list, and why is Eureka not complaning about the price as he did right in front of everyboday at a meet - he can get them for £7.50! apparently as the person he put me in touch with did not even bother getting back to me despite constant phone calls and e-mails.

You say ask for help, sort out meets, organise events. I have lots of times, all got ignored and I'm sure I could get Phil to bring those threads up so you could see all the meet threads I started and no one bothered to respond to. I asked for people to put together write ups for the diary page - those 3 people know who they are so there is no need to name them, but needless to say it didn't happen.

I have tried my hardest to keep this club going under alot of difficult personal circumstances. I would love to go to every single meet and event, but funds this year have been very tight and there have been times when I have had to think about selling the car. When I first started the club I did go to every event, that took up nearly every weekend through the summer and has left me with some very big credit card bills! I no longer have the cards, so not so easy to do this anymore.

Well thats my say for now, I'm sure I'll think of something else, but it will have to wait until I get back online

Thanks for finding time to reply, it seemed to everybody you had taken a back seat in this debate, everyone is entitled to an opinion, sorted girl...

Speaking of which there were new members at the last meet who felt they were left to fend for themselves and were just about to leave when I turned up. With respect by the time you turned up at Notcutts we'd been standing around quite a while and had already introduced ourselves to some of the newbies. We then decided to go indoors for a drink and everyone could have joined us. [/font]

I've been speaking to a lot of people in the last couple of weeks both older and newer members, some of which have stopped coming to meets because of the 'clicky' group that seems to form they don't feel it's worth trying to talk to people - this needs to stop if we are to keep members. I agree that it does seem to have become clicky over the past year or so......anyone any idea why?[/font]

And finally T-shirts. Ha, a joke I know. Big Jay is now sorting these (big thanks!), but how many people who have complained will actually be buying one? I for one certainly won't be - we spent ages arguing about a colour, voting for a colour....and now we're going with a totally different colour

I asked for people to put together write ups for the diary page - those 3 people know who they are so there is no need to name them, but needless to say it didn't happen. What's this diary page after all theres been little we've done as a club for anyone to write about. I put in a piece to True Grip about the trip to France which was published this quarter and a second piece about Granbys day out to the seaside (sadly not printed ) First time I can ever recollect our name being featured anywhere! [/font]

I have tried my hardest to keep this club going under alot of difficult personal circumstances. We're all aware that you've had a lot on your plate, perhaps thats why it was suggested that someone else might like to take on the job

This just about sums the whole situation up at the moment - is this going to set the standard for Sundays meeting which a lot of others were perhaps hoping would see the start of something new for the Club
