Heads up for the Scone Show 2015

[stevestrat]

Calm down and have a wee dram George.

Whoa there's nothing wrong with the Union Flag and made in Britain theme and that's from a true and proud patriot

[Reebs]

I see nothing wrong in Glenn's theme of Made In Britain. It's inspired if you ask me, and just like the cars we drive many of our members represent and were made in Britain.

Now granted if Glenn was considering entering a political rally with the meet, then I could see George's point, but this is a stand alone car rally and as such must be seen in context.

I certainly wouldn't consider covering any of the badge work or club stickers on my car purely based upon where I was taking it for a static car display.

Please folks, either enter into the spirit of this meet as it was intended, or just agree to bow out with grace. But we neither want a political bun fight between members in this thread nor at the meet come the day.

Not a problem because I wont be there .

Was very proud last year to help win the club trophy but plastering my car with a Union Flag and wearing a Union jack T-Shirt is a step too far .

As I said yesterday I wont hold the Scottish scene back .

I will just choose my events in future .

I hope the troops do well at the meet .

Hi

While I can see both viewpoints to this I have to agree with George. Overdoing the Union Jack thing will not go down well there. You will certainly not win the trophy again. As for the statement 'covering up badges on our cars' nobody was suggesting that. I think our stand looked grand with the 'Rover' theme. We had Rover flags etc. I think that is what our theme should be.
I think that it would be wise not to go for the Union Jack theme and concentrate on the Rover theme. Just my viewpoint and others are if course available as the BBC would say.

George,
Rather than decide the theme or show is not for you and quietly bow out as suggested you have taken this thread and good intentions of the show off in an negative direction by stamping your political stance by posting with mentions of unionists, nationalism and the national front etc. Totally uncalled for.

Nowhere does it say you should plaster your car with a union flag or wear a union jack t-shirt so you are entirely wrong. Please re visit the original post for correct information as your posting of incorrect information (deliberately or not) will mislead others who may believe they are being asked to do this which can negatively impact on members decisions who want to attend.

Due to the negative input I’m now in a difficult position as I need to decide whether to continue or not, all based on the unnecessary political viewpoints and I will ask for this thread to be closed.

YF.
