The 29th Club National Meet Sunday 19th April - POSTPONED - Page 13

24th February 2022, 21:05

Sadly, Facebook has killed off a number of forums and clubs.
Anyone in the Imp Club can organise a meet, as long as they inform the events organiser they can be covered by the Club's PLI. Maybe, this club can look into doing the same?

How many of us are still going to longbridge on the 23rd I wonder? The green team have let the club down on this one which is a shame as there will not be a club stand as planned, I feel as a club if we are going to survive is to have more club meetings at either regular venues or other places arranged by club members and get this green team lack of support sorted out while we still have a club

Personally I think the thing that is going to kill this forum is not Facebook ( I'm a member of a few Facebook groups) but inaction, why be a member if nothing much happens?
I know the individual members of the green team cannont be on 24 hours a day so why not have a larger green team ?
This forum is already withering on the vine as it is.

Prior to reading these more recent posts I have just had a message off another member saying he was sad to see me selling my 75. He asked my reason why? My answer was that there are barely any meetings anymore, nothing happening local at all so there is no point keeping it. I have my MG tf which we are out with local clubs as well as the bigger ones pretty much every other weekend, the social side of ownership of these vehicles is the main thing in my opinion and it just isn't happening within the 75 club with the odd exception. I understand the pandemic has caused difficulties but something needs to start happening soon before all the great members that make up this club disappear.

I'm sad this is not happening as was hoping to go . i will be going to POL but not sure with which group as the MG SUV REG are not doing a stand and i am taking my MGZS which is the only car which has not been to pol or had it photo taken at Q gate

my 75 has been many times to POL as has the F . i hope soon we can start to en joy our cars as we did pre virus . . i will certainly look for 75s at POL

Frustrated to see that there is not going to be a Club stand at POL, but at least I can now bring whichever of my Rovers I choose on the day. To tack our "National" onto Roverfest which has already been delayed for 2 years is sensible this year, but I would hope a little more effort could be put in going forward.

This forum is far more active than the Imp Club forum and there seem to be dozens of new members every week or so. I wouldn't write it off just yet!

That’s a good point, new members will join up, but how many will stick around if the social side of things isn’t very active?

The social part of the club is a major part of it as I'm sure most of us have made quite a few friends within the club, Whithout the meets and events we will drift apart
