There was once a Devon and a Cornwall R/O's however as there is not we do try and encourage membership from that way but as you point out we are in the far North Eastern Corner then it is difficult. Really in Devon and Cornwall as there is no proper SIDC Prescence then at the mo it is tied up between SWS and RIP.
Friday Nights - In 2007 when we started the Swindon meets we tried Friday nights as an expiriment and it took off brilliantly however when the Winter came round and we switched to Sundays and guess what - we would get 1-2 cars if we was lucky. We then put it back to Friday Nights in Jan 08 and we 15 cars turn up so we have kept it to Friday nights. Sundays now clash with either Oxford / BBS / SWS meets.
Doing Everything ourselves - We would like nothing more then to pass stuff over but to be honest ( not a swipe at you DC ) but we need someone who can have the time to take stuff on.
Summer meets 09 - Hot sun - light nights then you would have thought lots would come out but we lost all our service guys training or being in Affie.........then theres holidays , Sulks , BBQ's etc.
Newbie co-ordinator - yep I try my hand at that but not very good to be honest so yes thats a good idea - any voluteers?
Kick start - yes I do thanks pmsl
Thanks for your thoughts so perhaps we might hold a war council again in January.........had one in 08 - good laugh and paved the way for a good year so will look to do that in 2010.
