Come on Oli, I'm sure a man of your means can organise a nice country hotel, trip to Cirencester for some shopping - girls like Ciren trust me, and then for good behavior an afternoon playing cars.
She could even go to Bath or Cabots Circus and not have you trailing around behind her, whinging. Mind if that happens you better put an upper limit on the credit card quick.[8|]

About 600. Many aren't on forums so won't be listing their name here, but that's still around the one percent mark. [
]I'm not going to apologise here, we raised issues at the last worker's conference and they don't seem to have been addressed. I did raise the problem with the new board at Porsche and Polo with two of the board and haven't heard anything since.
This event could be great, the previous board did a lot of work to plan it. Sadly most of them have stood down and we're left with little continuity. Some good people have been lost due to the silly expansion in events over the last few years causing too much work for too little benefit.
Let's forget all that, and just get together at the 50th as a group of good friends. The 944 Register is a strong part of the Club and will be around long after the current problems are solved.
I hope that doesn't come across as grumpy or negative, just that the 50th seems to have hit a point where a lot of the key volunteers have stood down, and some new people have been co-opted to replace them with no time to get settled in. In the meantime we just need to get on with things and just enjoy the weekend together. [

With suggestions like that you wonder why you're unappreciated? [
][][]In all seriousness, excluding Tony's idea of a mobile dyno, which wasn't possible, there wasn't a single suggestion from the 600 members of the Register as to something they'd have liked us to do, despite there being nearly a year to plan and some money available. With no help from the new board either, there really isn't anything we, as Region or Register organisers, can do. You pay your membership fees each year, but we can't risk spending a lot of time or money on arranging something which no-one wants, so unless there's some interest it we just don't arrange anything.
With 52 weekends per year, 600 Club members, and about the same number of forum members, I can't believe we don't get more than 10-20 cars at any events. Yet, no-one is screaming out that they want us to arrange different events that they would like to come along to. [8|]

I'm going straight to Silverstone on Saturday, staying at the RAC and there on the Sunday. I'll be spending most of it around the Register area so come and say hi. Coffee or tea are fine, white with one sugar please. [][]

For those of us that live oop North it is a long way to go and back in a day. It is ok if you can commit to the whole weekend but not everyone can. It is a seven hour drive there and back. If you have a young family like us, then they have just gone back to school or do so on the Monday. It isn't fair on the kids to put them through seven hour round trip the day before a new school year starts.
I love my cars and the club, but just not prepared to do it. I am sure that we aren't alone in this. As ROs we put on loads of events each year and get around to other Region's and so we don't feel like we are missing out.
I hope everyone has a good weekend though.
