Wow! Wake up and smell the coffee! How do you feel other members are going to view your rant at me? Intimidating? Possible, if only you knew what others think but won't say....

I'll rest it there as you (Stu) clearly have no morals or care on the views and opinions of others

Grow up you pathetic little man. Stop trolling for a fight. You'll not get one.

We've done nothing more than answer your questions openly and honestly yet you're still spitting out your dummy. Don't forget, this would never have even been raised had you not employed underhand tactics in an attempt to profit from SIDC club members in order to fund your own club, using your SIDC RO role as a guise to do so.

You say your approach is superior and that you can do better. I welcome you to do so. All the best and good luck with that.

No, you've made nothing and going by this thread, you certainly won't from members of this club.

Do yourself a favour, stop posting, take a few days away and reassess things. Your posts and accusations are not helping matters. Try to re-read the thread with a clear head and an open mind.

Good luck in your future efforts. As far as SIDC are concerned, I feel I am able to speak on behalf of the committee when I say that your time as an RO has come to an end and I would suggest that you question wether renewing membership is right for you.

We are all part of this club to enjoy our cars, the social nature of membership and the positivity that can be found as a result. Why is that so difficult to grasp?

I believe the first unfounded accusations were by Stu. Until that point everything was perfectly civilised. We were then accused of profiteering and it's escalated from there. So before anyone stRts saying we are causing issues. Look at where the accusations started please

Read my post. I apologised in advance if my comments were unfounded. They weren't.

Is it now time to delete this post please? It is doing none of us any favours, this really needs to be sorted out face to face or by phone.

Unfortunately Terry, last time we did that, there were accusations of the committee being some sort of power hungry dictatorship.

I and Keith (Beefos) made an attempt to stop and speak to you personally but your answers were short and seemingly not interested in talking. Certainly that was my impression. I don't speak for Keith on his opinion.

I'm sure Peter will have his opinions as well

Ha ha! Now you're just talking rubbish. You find one single person who could name a single instance of Kim being anything other than kind, friendly, approachable and attentive. To imply otherwise just emphasises the rediculous nature of your complaints.

Taking the club hat off for a second and speaking as myself, you have brought very little to the club, you've sought out confrontation and disruption since day one and only served your own purposes. You are a pathetic, jeuvenile and sad individual that has done everything you can to belittle and intimidate members. Your exit from the club is certain and if your approach to your own club is similar to the way you've conducted yourself here, I wish you every success - I suspect you're going to need it.

Sorry if it bothers you that we have asked a question that your unhappy with. We have permission from Hayden Davies head of international motors UK to use the subaru stars in our logo. We have non profit organisation bank accounts along with a qualified accountant. We have public liability and employers liability as volunteers are classed as employees. We have been working on this for a while and everything is above board and legal. There is no profit being made. Statements for bank accounts can be shown including personal money from myself being put in to start the club. A lot of personal time and money has been out I to the Stu.

I welcome the answer to my questions around fuelling of board members. If you feel you can answer that honestly. Try treating members with respect and these things won't happen. The South West is poorly treated and has been for a while. This has happened to SIDC in the South West before and is now happening again. You've bought South West Scoobies as a domain as you were afraid of it happening both .com & .co.uk. Is that an expense that the club should bare? Probably not.

We have no show equipment unless a board member attends either. Welcome to reality! It's here! It's happening and try colours will be shown. I will not stand for being ignored any more. In private questions have been asked to the board which have not been replied to, and now on a forum they are not being replied to either......

Good luck with that.

As far as I am concerned you have both manipulated your roles within the club in order to develop your own club and as such are not deserving of the RO title.

The SW Region has gone underdeveloped because as ROs you were not doing your job. It stands to reason that'll happen again. If you had invested the same level of effort into your SIDC roles as you have done into your own venture, this wouldn't be happening.

To answer your question. The only committee member that revives any form of payment/reimbursement is myself for True Grip. £700 for 3 months work, design, development, distribution, attending photoshoots, events, the cost of publication - it doesn't even cover costs. You have issue with that too?

Let's go down that open and honest route Stu, how much have we spent on fuel for board members attending shows this year? Shows that they would likely have gone to anyhow.

Due to late booking of stand thu were not looking to give us free tickets but did manage to squeeze us in. We booked the stand a little over 2 weeks ago. I agreed that I was happy to not have free tickets if it meant we were able to get a stand.

On the note of free tickets Stu. I guess that this must happen for other events as well. If that does happen who gets these tickets as I've never seen free tickets advertised trough SIDC since I've been a member. (honest answers on a forum please)

So me PMing you saying we could get the tickets for you for free didn't strike you as a positive thing to do? Please don't muddy the discussion by deflecting the questions.

The club do, on occassion get free tickets from Combe but always far less than the number of attendees so the difference in cost gets taken off the ticket price for EVERYONE and takes into account PayPal fees and postage. Any profit beyond that gets recirculated into the club. You can see this for yourself in the published accounts.

Your insinuations don't change the fact that you have sought to 'do your own thing', to move away from SIDC and profit from your own regional club. Again, not the behaviour of a club RO in my opinion.

Profiting from members for personal gain is downright out of order. Simple as that.

Good luck with the show. I can't speak for others but the handling of this and the lack of professionalism and ethical regard has left a seriously bad taste in my mouth.

***To be VERY clear to anyone else reading this. This stand, organised by SW Scoobies, Criddy and Plodster is not an SIDC stand and we imply no endorsement. No liability insurance that would be supplied as part of SIDC membership will apply ***

In the spirit of an open and honest conversation on the forum (as has been previously requested by yourselves on a number of occassions), why are you charging £10 a ticket/pass when the organisers supply 12 for free?

More to the point, where are the funds going once people have paid? Profiting from members of the club in this way, especially considering that it's run NFP strikes me as extremely unethical and certainly not the behaviour expected of SIDC ROs.

Obviously, if there's an honest explanation for this then please accept my apologies - I can only act on the information in front of me.

I'll defo be coming are there any convoys leaving around the Warrington area??

No issues this end from what I can tell.

I've had a look into the 324 error code and it seems to be a common Chrome issue. Do you have another browser? Do you get load errors in that too?
