Monthly Meets

[stum450n]

Right, business time methinks.

Hopefully it's down to pre-Christmas belt-tightening but the attendance at the monthly meets from Oxon members has been somewhat lacking of late (as I'm sure you've all noticed) - last Sunday's meet being a prime example.

Now, seeing that the monthly meets are for you guys I thought it would be worth asking if you've any comments or suggestions for the meets going into 2010... Obviously we'll continue to do what we do with events, mini-meets and the like but I wanted to know if you're all getting what you feel you should be from the monthly static meets?

Just to be clear, I'm not looking to change anything, I just want to make sure you're all still enjoying being part of OSC and SIDC as a whole!

Cheers,

Stu

I would like to come to some meets but at the moment I have no money so Kidlington is a bit far to justify travelling. Once Highway insurance have paid me a shed load of money I'll be able to come to a meet on the moon if you'd care to arrange one (If they give me enough I may even be able to mod my car to a level where it could actually leave the earths atmosphere!)

Perhaps worth having a poll to decide what day and time of the day is most popular for to hold the meets and we could plan out the meets in the new year according to what feedback we get.

I dont want anyone to take this the wrong way but I have tried to sort karting out now more times than I care to remember and everytime I am let down by the guys who wanted to do it in the first place so perhaps if you want to do things then can I ask that you see them through.

I am not going back to Sturdys as it was not really the best pub in the world for the meet, food or service.

My plan as always was to have a pub meet to arrange an event for the coming month so that we could break the mould of just having 12 meets a year in the same place, I feel I have to point out that we cannot hold any events if no one shows any interest, no one puts names down or even worse have people pull out last minute causing a cancellation, I only say this as this seems to be the trend. If you want more events, shows and karting etc etc then show an interest, get your names down and make the effort to show up on the day then these things will happen, it is easy to make suggestions the hard part is getting everyone to take part.

not to sure what you think on this buddy.... but I do think it might be worth talking to dave about his plan for the outdoor super karts for march april?

but i totally understand how difficult these things are....

All for it mate its just getting people to commit that is the issue, we really need people to commit to these things and it is not happening.

hopefully things will be a little easier next year! either that or the labor government is going to screw us some more!!!!!!!!

I really hope things get better , like I said its really easy to post up suggestions etc but these ideas cannot and will not work without the backing of the members.

Ian and I tried this is October Rick for the Japshow Finale at Santa Pod but despite the initial show of interest getting members to commit to it was a different matter entirely.

That's a good idea.

Also i'm suprised a lot of people are put off travelling to other regional meets. e.g A mate of mine drove from Norfolk to a meet down here a couple of weekends ago.

For me nothing like a few of you driving along to a meet someone taking loads of pics. Obviously depends on commitments which is understandable.

Maybe my downfall is to much time on the Yankee sites where they'll travel 2 days to a big show.

Oh weather is a factor to.

Maybe in the summer head over to a Wales meet and camp the night? Inexpensive and potentially a good laugh

Just a thought but it maybe an idea to time it in such a way that we can get along to a South Wales meet whilst we're down there?
