As long as it's not Dougster!

No danger of that lol (did he not disappear up his own a**e a while back )

It is now 'official' , STI Pretender is now the new Glasgow R.O.

Al.

Thanks for the kind words folks

It looks like we may have a new Glasgow/Strathclyde Regional Organiser - I'm just waiting for a wee PM back from them accepting the role before I make any 'official' announcement.

Thanks again for your support,

Ally.

After a long hard think , I've decided it is time for me to call it a day .

I am far too busy with work , family and other commitments to remain in Glasgow/Strathclyde Regional Organiser position.

In recent months I've even found it hard to find time to manage to fit in the monthly meets so I think now is the time for someone else to take over.

I still hope to attend meets , runs etc when I can and intend to remain an active SIDC member .

I'll also help anyone who takes the Glasgow/Strathclyde RO position in any way I can .

I've had a great time over the years I've been R.O. , mainly due to the fact that the members in Glasgow/Strathclyde region are such a good bunch .

Any members want to be Glasgow/Strathclyde R.O. ?

Al.

You beat me to it Peter !

I was going to ask you nicely over the weekend

You have done us proud and raised loads of money towards Santa Cruise (and other events) in previous years , so your offer for this year is very much appreciated

Thanks,

Al.

Thanks Karps

Santa #2 has reported for duty

Thanks again ScoobySailor , details sent - keep me informed

Al.

Ally, I had to leave early last night so didn't go into the Harvester with the rest of you.

I don't mind helping out with the phone calls / police etc.

Let me know and I will arrange collect all the contact details etc from last year.

Excellent

I'll PM the details to you , thanks.

Al.

Yes , it's that time of year again folks

I mentioned to most folk I spoke to at last nights meet that it is time we got the ball-rolling for this years Santa Cruise.

We plan to follow the same idea as the past few years ...

IE.

1. Raise money via donation sheets , sticker sales etc

2. Purchase lots of toys and gifts with funds raised

3. Meet up with cars decked out in Christmas decorations - wee prize for best decorated car.

4. Convoy through city

5. Present gifts to hospital c/w Santa.

Ed-209 has kindly offered to produce Santa Cruise 2009 stickers/decals for the cars - Hopefuly we'll have these available to purchase at the next meet .

Robert (STIpretender) has the donation sheets which we'll make available as soon as we get date finalised. He also has a Santa suit (I'm awaiting reply from our other 'Santa' !)

IMPORTANT !

We need a volunteer to make a few phone calls/emails to Yorkhill hospital to arrange a date and time and a call and letter to Strathclyde Police to let them know our intended route.

I normally do this part , but due to work and family commitments I won't be able to this year (I'm no longer allowed private calls , emails or internet at work. I'll also be in England on most of my days off as Ruths job has moved to Brum)

I have all the contact details from previous years and I'll pass them on to anyone who'll help .

PLEASE POST HERE OR PM ME ASAPIF YOU CAN HELP .

If no-one volunteers to help with this , the event won't happen

I hope we can work together to make 2009s event as successful as previous years have been

Al.

no point on doing only one side is there
