AFAIK the simple answer is no, not seen anything yet regarding the possible replacement.

Cheers
Jim

Hi James

If you mean Mike Hewitt (Rover418275) as far as I know he's still persona non grata on this forum, in fact did a search and from what I can see he's no longer a registered member.

Granted following the Manchester/Cheshire meets at the Romper we now have the Hollow Tree monthly meets but in the absence of a RS this seems to be via Mike on another forum, hence why I posted the meet thread as not every member is on all the forums.

Could say more but I don't really want to get into inter-forum rivalry, been done to death elsewhere regarding another one.

But this doesn't help BBM as the NW area is large and not everbody wants to or can get to a location in the Manchester/Cheshire area.

I think this is something the mod's should be having a look at as I find myself having to "drift" into other areas for meets.

Cheers
Jim

Mike was banned on here months ago but does a sterling job arranging meets from the community website.

Wouldn't you fancy taking on the role Jim - you'd be the ideal person for the job?

Thanks for the comment of support Richard but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do the position justice.

Nice to hear from you, hope things are getting better now.

All the best
Jim

I think yourself or Mick (baconbuttyman) would be ideal for the role, you're both very passionate about the cars and arranging meets.

Things are getting better now thanks Jim. New job is going okay and the new car ain't bad either. Does twice the MPG of the ZT!

Would agree with you BBM it's a big area with a great many members, think we need to get something sorted out in the near future.
