Do you know what Jackie I couldn't have put it better myself !
Especially knowing the past history. How was WESTLIFE

Katrina C

The SMACS thing is a completely different thing. Some of these guys that you are referring to used to be WYIOCers but left us for a new club which fell apart very quickly.Changed club names and hey ho history was repeated. Yes the WYIOC is open to all but not when you know the history. Think it's only fair to wait while the Stelvio lot come back to get their views, being as tho some of them are long time members, would be unfair not too

bullitt_Lynz

Given the past history, I would say we're not a club to hold grudges, or to be childish about telling people not to come to our meets, thats just being really really immature about the whole situation, we cant wait for some members to come back from Stelvio, as they come back after the meet, and I think they've got better things on their minds!!! all of those lovely twisty windy roads!!!

what is the problem with letting people come to meets?

Katrina C

Remember there are club rules for this kind of thing. It had to be followed for another member, you know the story.Can't just go changing the rules to suit, whilst the rest are not here to have their say. Sorry but club rules are club rules.

bullitt_Lynz

where are the club rules?

BULLITT

Lets not get on this now please. We as a club have more important things to sort out, like the NBO, which is only 2 weeks away. This needs to be sorted asap.

chieftain333

This sounds very petty to me or am I the only one?

Katrina C

Also given the rules, it had to work for DC, to return. People have feelings too Lynz, given circumstances still don't think you can go over ruling those rules. You don't now the half of it. This is not childish or anything close, just true. Think the Chairman and Vice Chairman may want to be involved in the re-instatement. That's all I have to say on the matter, don't want a slanging match. thanks for reading

bullitt_Lynz

no worries, i'll leave it at that then, i'm sure a lot of people have more to say on the matter, but wont on public forum.

I understood that members were welcome back even if they had left, but i must be mistaken in some circumstances.

Will await Alan and Andy's return so they can discuss this, in the meantime, EOM!!!!!!!! this thursday guys!!!!!!

i'm hoping i can be out of work for maybe 8ish, so I'll see you chappies there if i can get. if not, i'll send my NBO suggestions on

Katrina C

Maybe I mistook what you said Lynz, so sorry. No we have no issues at all about anyone coming to our meets. But I did read about someone saying about paying their £25 quid, to join that's all. That's the bit that is not such an easy one. Have to speak to all members ( well those that it matters to any way) That's the part I picked up on, so my Apologies. Def no more from me on that one.

bullitt_Lynz

nay bother... lotsa cuddles

EOM..EOM..EOM!!! hurraaaaay!!! hot choc and kit kats all round

JimmyBFC

Call me naieve (sp?) but I'm happy to see any Scooby owner, if club matters are up for discussion in some privacy, I'm sure they would understand !

DunxC

P.S. I'm quite aware of the past, BUT i don't live in it !

bullitt_Lynz

well just had the update meeting, its likely i'll be at work til 11pm

will send lots of ideas on for the NBO, but think we should have an extra meeting to plan it in detail...the thursday before?? 12 june??

Katrina C

swifty.....!

totaly agree! jim and aileen come on down think everyone actually going to the meet would like you to come

As a partial victim of previous ill-will, I'm all for getting on with life, not baring grudges, so if this drives some to sarcasm.....
If I don't get on with an individual, I will avoid confronting them, otherwise they are welcome to join a club I'm proud to be a member of. Thankfully I don't have a problem with any current or previous members, so I'm simple ?

Be good to see you Jim & Aileen, as I missed you at the SSO

Katrina C

Everyone has left this alone, please can you. It will be sorted out when Sticky and Al return.

i cant make this meeting, working lates. just to draw the topic away from the meet, i got a new car(say new, its an R reg) its got a turbo and intercooler and four doors, on difference is its a diesel!!! lmao! not got any time really at the minute to attend any meetings or club activites. found myself deeply engrossed in the art of work! plus i'm trying to get this house up and moving.

back to the topic of interclub meetings. i'm with chieftain on this. i'm a fairly new member too, and believe in leaving the history where it is.. you say the WYIOC is a family club. IMHO its not setting a very good example to the kids if some of the adults are been childish themselves, by not letting other scooby club members coming to a WYIOC meet. i think the people who still hold a bit of resent, of whatever took place in the past, really need to look towards the future and welcome new people, and old people who want to return, with open arms. i dont have a personal interest in whatever happened in the past, but one thing i do know is that all the people who drive a scooby share the same passion as the next person driving one.

and as for club rules.... perhaps they need addressing at the next meet, to discuss what stance the club takes in welcoming new and old faces.. from what i can tell from these posts in this topic, if you leave the club to go elsewhere, then the door will be closed behind you.. does that mean that if i dont renew my membership, and because i no longer have a scooby, that i too cant join up again in the future??

bullitt_Lynz

please chaps, i have strong feelings on this and it seems everyone else has, please lets leave this for discussion within the club when Alan Mr Chairman and Sticky Mr Vice Chairman return.

Please can we refrain from posting any further opinion on public forum as this needs to be discussed at club level.

Thanks

HUDDERS1

anybody meeting at the brickwork's and tradingpost?

BULLITT

I think there was a few of the new members that wanted to meet at brickworks but not sure whats happening with them now.

I'll be heading straight to Squires so should be there for 7.30 - 8pm.

HUDDERS1

I'll call in at the brickwork's then at 6:45.

chieftain333

Ill see ya there mark

BRI STI

Excuse me but alan has taken a back seat he will not be attending a meet for some time so its up to the members to hold the fort and sort things out just thought i would say my peace because not everybody gets to the meets and knows what is going on and members will not know that alan has other things on his mind..

simonbb1328

BULLITT
