"Ally brought Santa Cruise in to this simple question post No one else did and the sooner people realise that the better" Only because that is the subject of the posts you are referring to , and the reason why they are not in the usual 'events' section . I use the events section on a monthly basis to intimate Glasgow meets as do all the ROs .I fully understand how to use different sections of the forum. Some events though are annual charity events and as such deserve a 'sticky' to ensure maximum publicity and thus full support of the club. I hope that explains it clearly enough . Merry Christmas. Al. .

I don't think most members would consider once-a-year charity work by the club as 'clutter' . It is only four threads after all , if you are not interested - don't read them . IMHO it would be better if there were more . . . . . Al.

I think these regions are the only ones who have actually organised Santa Cruise's in the whole of Scottish Scoobies. Paul , Spooks and myself , along with lots of members help , have put a lot of time and effort into organising these events . Members from all regions have contributed raffle prizes , bought raffle tickets and made donations . These events are charity events where we raise money for local sick childrens hospitals and childrens homes . They are not just announcements of monthly meets , gatherings etc . So they deserve to be posted in 'General' for everyones attention. I know that some folk like to try to create inter-region rivalry (why?) but in this case it is very inappropriate to try to stir things up. Ally.

I'd recommend those handling mods on a classic - really 'tightens' it up [Y] Al.

They will be available to buy at the Glasgow meet on 7 December (this Thursday) See the Glasgow Santa Cruise thread above , and the Glasgow meet thread in events for more details. Al.

Yep , if you can come along to the meet on Thursday you'll be able to meet most of the guys and girls before the Santa Cruise . Details in the events section. Ally.

Helloooo John are you there ? [] Please reply to PM mate [] Al.

ttt please

John I touch goats. Al PS Sorry St3ph3n , I know you don't like these posts but it is important SC business and without any flashing 'I touch goats' indicator this is th only way to get anyones attention.

Well done to everyone who has raised money so far [Y] First shopping trip is tonight. Will anyone still to hand in money please bring it along to the meet on the 7th or PM me to arrange to meet up before then - thanks . Santa hats will be compulsary on the day (any colour []) please try to get one to get into the spirit of things as we will not be supplying them [] Ally . Any more names ? 1/ Ally-b 2/ Fai17 3/ imy 4/ squirrel 5/ STI Pretender 6/ mctwistuk 7/ st3ph3n 8/ Nanaki 9/ Alan-G and Fab1 10/GaryD & Lesley 11/ Karps 12 /tosh 32 13/ James666 14/ billyboy 15/Gregor

Great results Graeme [Y] . . . . I have to agree with Squirrel regarding your footwear though . . . . These are driving boots and these are diving boots Can you see the difference ? [] Al.

'Other' SIDC = Subaru Impreza Diners Club [] There are usually a few scoobs outside Fai17s restaurant on a Saturday evening ... ... and a few owners inside partaking in PPP (Peters performance puddings [] ) Al.

Please get any outstanding donations in ASAP guys & gals .... We need to get monys in to let us get shopping for pressies for the kids . I'll be at the Brewers fayre Hillington carpark on Thursday evening 7.30 if anyone wants to meet me there to hand in donations . PM me if you need other arrangements . We need final numbers now , to inform both the hospital and the Police . So... List of Glasgow area Santa Cruise attendees ... Please add your names below , in the usual manner 1/Ally-b 2/

Welcome aboard George ! Try to come along to the meet on 7th December when the final arrangements will be sorted out . Or PM me if you have any questions . The stickers have arrived folks and will be available at the Dec meet at £4 - thanks Robert (STI pretender) Please can you all get any donations in ASAP ? I can be at the Brewers fayre Hillington carpark on Thursday evening 7.30 if anyone wants to meet me there to hand in donations . Cheers , Ally.

I'd an annoying squeek after I fitted my TSL system . I thought it was suspension related , and I feared the worst[] Took a while to trace , but it turned out it was rubbing against a welded flange underneath . A wee tweak with a big shifter bent the flange a couple of degrees out of the way and problem solved [] Al.
