ian_finlayson Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 A wee idea. How about every third meet or so do a wee shownshine comp with the winner getting a free meal that night. Have something for the evening to focus on each month and bring everyone together with plenty of argueing. Or best new mod dirtiest car biggest dent.. I don't know
G.T. Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 well there you go that is the end of todays lesson everydays a learning day cheers chris

Why don't we email Essex Scoobies as they are very active and see what they get up to - or just check out their forums. I am sure Tiny would give us a few hints. Brian

phil Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Newbies Its hard but come in and say hello Someone will have a SWRT or SIDC shirt on Old Hands When a Newbie says hello Make them welcome and introduce them to a few people NOT everybody they won't remember all the names
wilky Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 There you have it, Youve woken god up. I hope your all happy now!!
wrxmania Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Thaks Phil - that is helpful and constructive comment Brian
Gumball Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 that schedule shows how good it could be. thats a real events diary just for one region...superb i get the strange feeling that people in that region actually drive their cars to chav it up, go on runs, meet up etc and all the time surely thats what we should be up to
G.T. Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 does kinda put us lot to shame we cant even agree on a place to meet for one night a month
wrxmania Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Remember that in some ways we are trying to address many regions though at once, although in reality we are addressing the Glasgow meet location Brian
wilky Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Very true Brian, at least we all have its best interests at heart. Im sure things will get better, once I get the Richard Burns thing sorted Ill see if I can help out. Its a shame I cannot help Chris out with the Karting. Did you get a stand in Chris? Callum
phil Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 What you have to remember is that some people only go to the lodge meet [Nice family friendly pub with great food], giving the Halfway House meet [Tyre Kicking and general Petrol Heads] a miss Some guys only do the Posers Cruise We advertise at both Pub meets that we have a meet, Flyers behind the bar with several Framed Signs hung on the walls. Indeed The Lodge Staff Wear the now infamous Essex Pink Shirts
st3ph3n Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Out of interest Phil, how many SIDC members are in Essex?
Gumball Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 yes Callum the Karting has now been taken over by Dave and everything should be sorted soon for that event.
phil Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Not sure TBH I can't sort the database on area I know we have 20-30 cars at winter meets 40+ during the summer Posers Cruise last year was New Years NIGHT we had 25 cars turn out
