GazzaG60 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I got the impression it was a old school club where you are judged on site. id expect if i was a well spoken mid 40s with a VR6 when i approached the stand i would have gotten a better reception. i also felt a "if you are having a stand, then you should stand with us" attitude towards my partial(was a group effort) organisation of the forum stand at VWNW.

That was why i joined Club VR6 as I thought this might suit my needs more. But unfortunately like CCGB joined at Stealth rolling rd day had a great day and then didn't here anything from them for the 12 months of my membership :( :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6paul 0 Posted December 14, 2003 once again i think there is just a lot of moaning going on here which is misplaced. Corozin has already stated that pointing out your difficulties on a forum like this will not get you anywhere. He has already stated that contacting him directly is the only way to ensure anything is done. Also those who are critisising the club here are only going to make others feel that they are just moaning. Again i don't see the point in aggrevating people on this foeum by slaggin off a a club they may well like when you could direct your complaints in other ways and get something done about it.

YAY! a post that makes me want to post and say "HOORAY! a voice of reason!" 8) Quit moaning on about the past, get involved and turn the club into what YOU want it to be! :roll: That's the whole point of car clubs, you get out what you put in, sometime slightly more in either direction, but in general it's rewarding for your time and effort.... 8) Ker-plink (my 2p worth!)

Supercharged 2 Posted January 15, 2004 Me neither, heard nothing for ages even from my local region who normally have regular meets and I still havn't heard anything about what happened at the AGM? I also emailed John about this but had no reply! Other than that I have to say I have had no probs with the club so far and its saved me loads of money!

Campaign 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Just to keep peeps in the know, the current issue is currently undergoing built 0.95 (in other words it should be ready by the end of the week to go to the printers) Most of the layout is done, just gotta speeel check it etc. I can only apologise for the delay (yes it IS issue 30 btw), various reasons for this, little boy coming along in Oct amongst other excuses. I was working on it at 2:15am yesterday to give you some idea. It's a mammoth issue just to keep you bating. Supercharged, which region are you in? The regions we've found tend to rely JUST on the regional host, without them the region falls apart. For instance, in the East Midlands we've had 3 regional hosts since the club started (what, 8 years ago) and I think we've only ever had 4 meetings, a couple of which only two or three cars turned up.
