I'm sorry you all feel that way, clearly I as Chairwoman have let you all down in the design of the rebrand.

Always nice to know that we're told where we're going wrong yet rarely receive praise for the things we do right.

Well done Steve

I'd recommend both the Welsh Group and Unity.

Thanks yes it does. Also yes they are Pro R retailers too. Is there anything from our end we can put out as well? I think maybe a phone converation would be best.

In what respect Terry - activities/attractions or club promotional material and equipment?

Hog roasts draw in the crowds I understand, along with mince and apple pies

Having had a large amount of input with Unity's Christmas Open Event, I'd suggest something either on a Saturday which allows more families to attend, or during the week on a night that could be your usual monthly meet date. The later you get into the year the more likely you'll struggle to get numbers to commit due to Christmas being round the corner.

(Assuming they are Pro-R retailers) see if they can get some of the Pro-R demonstrators and reps there to be on hand to discuss their products.

Hope that helps a bit

Hi guys, hope you're all good

Sorry I've not replied sooner, been having some personal time and was away on my hollibobs

Having a BBQ sounds like a cracking idea.

Here's some food for thought:

Choose a date that wont conflict too closely with any other events to encourage as many people to attend as possible;

Set the date and stick to it - book early to avoid disappointment;

Choose a location that has all facilities on offer, especially if it's going to include families (maybe near a zoo or other attractions);

Agree food/drink arrangements (bring your own etc, keeps costs down);

Chip in for charcoal, condiments etc;

Organise entertainment for children and adults;

Now, you're main issue if you decide to do a camping/night stop over somewhere is that you'll need to find somewhere that accepts group bookings, or as some call them "rallies". My local club found this to be an issue last year, this is mainly due to other campers on the same site and noise restrictions.

If you find a location that accepts group bookings then you're onto a winner as you wont need to pay for any additional facilities - ie loos etc.

An issue regarding Trax is that this show is on a Sunday so anyone wanting to stop over would need to take a days annual leave on the Monday and I'm not sure many would be keen on that. Silverstone does have camping facilities now but I'm not sure it's something they'd offer on the Sunday seeing as it's only a one day show.

Most shows/events wont allow BBQ's on site due to health and safety so having the get together at a show may pose to be difficult.

A suggestion.....

Organise something low key this year and maybe look at arranging something bigger next year alongside a big event (Japfest, RallyDay, Trax etc) which will allow you more time to plan time off work, make arrangements for a large attendance, it may even make it easier to choose a date.

Just my 2p worth. Good luck

Great photos guys, looks like you all had a cracking day

Now, who's going to do a write up for the next issue of True Grip?

Can you answer your pm regarding the stand pass please.

Chris is leaving it to us to decide a date. Perhaps keep it inline with the usual arrangements of the last week of the month.

Morning all,

Chris from Welch's has been in contact offering their showroom to the SIDC for a monthly meet.

As you know, Welch's just became a Pro-R outlet and want to illustrate to owners what products they'll be selling for Subarus.

They're looking at sometime towards the end of May and have kindly offered light refreshments for the evening too. Does anyone have any particular dates/days they'd like to see this meet held?

Lol okay Jamie

With just over 4 weeks to go I need to hurry you guys along to get your tickets purchased so that I can place an order for our stand.

Sainsbury’s of Banbury (OX16 9XA) will be holding a Sport Relief event on Saturday 24 March 2012.

As you're all aware, Banbury is home to Prodrive and to help raise money for Sport Relief they have kindly donated Richard Burns' Subaru for this event.

You're all welcome to pop along and see the car, as well as chat with the Prodrive PR Rep.
