Since I took over the shop, 3/12/19, we have had 98 new members sign up.

So far this year I have attended 5 meets. Got another tomorrow, for all cars not only MG & Rovers.
Next week I’m off to the gin distillery, it was supposed to be a joint meet between us and the Cornish MGOC. But I couldn’t get anyone interested in doing the tour. And the CMGOC have now cancelled. So just me going.

We need to take a leaf out of the MGOC, lots of local meets, a great national meet set up and a superb spares set up.

You are spot on there Trikey let's got some meets arranged in our local areas with or without the backing of the green team

It will be a great shame and a loss to the club if the 'green team' don't take stock of the bad feeling and take up some of the suggestions being put forward on this thread. It is starting to feel more like a dictatorship than a friendly and welcoming club....anyone fancy invading the Ukraine?

Let's make this an annual event and an official national meet.
Thank you Graham for your response to this but as yet I have still not had offer of any help from the Green Team I will be running a meet at east kirkby this year but it looks very unlikely that it will promote or advertise this owners club

I wouldn't worry Dave, it appears that they are not really interested, perhaps we should declare UDI

There will be a club stand at POL, I've started a thread and have been in contact with the POL organising committee.

https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=317038

Currently I believe that none of the green team are able to attend which is a shame


I will also be organising the Gretna meet in July/August.

It's a shame there isn't going to be a national meet but I agree awe need to have more. Anyone can organise a meet and if course you can invite who you like personally I love it like at East Kirby where there is a massive variety of cars to see

I will now be attending POL.

I’m doing my best to support the club and those that organise local meets and get together’s, but it’s not easy. As most of you know that once upon a time I would travel miles to attend a meet, I would travel up to Newcastle to the metro centre meets and home again in one day.

Bob, I don't think anyone doubts your dedication to the club you have been an avid supporter of the club, and Flying Banana is recognised wherever she goes,
it just seems there is a lack of interest from the Green Team, I know they have their own lives to meet and we are a growing club and we need to show our new members we are interested in them. Bob it would be a great shame if you were the only one to show up and represent us.

Rev.
