It was nice meeting some scoobynet members for the first time, Seems like a good idea to run the workshop meets as it would be benificial to some if not most who attend.

Have you had any feedback from the boss yet Tom?

Sorry folks just got in from work, the theme is looking to be £10.00 a month for 2 sessions a month.. So thats £5.00 a session (based upon 10 people a session), Mike really wants to run the 2 sessions a month but im not sure if people could commit to that every month or afford it at the moment..

the late openings in college are a monday and tuesday, so we could pick any of these to run the sessions, say one at the beginning of the month and one at the end.

If anyone has any thoughts or coments then please post them so I can pass them on

Suits me
Need to have some form of commitment though from everyone, as the guy said if only 2 people turned up, we would still be paying the full amount, thats my only worry,
£10 a month for a fully equipped workshop sounds like bargain of the bloody century to me

When's the next one?

Then i can do my tracking,,,,,, AGAIN, lol

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I think the best way to proceed is to collect the subs on the tunnel run and see how we get on. If people cant make the run but say are definatley going to turn up and pay, then we count them in.

If we attempt to make it a 'club' thing, then its like a membership fee and a renewal each month. Ill throw in myself as a member of the club

Ive been really busy since the last one so haven't had a chance to sit down with the relevant people to set up the next one. Hopefully have a date for the next one by tommorow. shall we go for a monday this time? Is that easier for people?

Okay looking to run the session on either monday the 26th or tuesday the 27th depending what is best for people. Will be a fiver on the door from 6-8 again. The problem is we need 10 people. including me and mark that means 8, so I know a few people are commited, get your name down and let me know what day is best for you. Whichever day gets the most votes we will go for.

unfortunatly if we dont get 10 then it wont happen, I dont want people paying more than £5.00
So..

1) Tom WRX RA (either day)
2) Bumblebee doo (Monday?)

Come on everyone!

Surely there's other scoob owners out there that could do with using a fully equipped workshop for 2 hrs for a Fiver!!!

Have you had any luck on getting more owners into this Tom?

Stu, I'm sure you mentioned that you know a lad with a sport? See if he's game, just tell him other sports attend an he might bite

Saw yours today Marvins on the way home was looking well clean!

I havent yet been really busy with marking but will make some enquries this week

I think a couple more may be able to come as well so it might just be a case of splitting the difference if we are a couple short.

Fabulous.
Inner CV boots to do as it came up on the inspection at the last meet.
I'm not sure if that's to long a job?

I might do it before hand an do a service an sump change at the college.

tracking Tom, the new wheels came with part worn Goodyears which are amazing so I need to look after them

Wouldn't mind some expert opinion on my brakes too, see what needs replacing I want the handbrake to work all the time and not when it feels like it

Yeah all sounds ok folks I will ask kenny tomorow if he fancies doing the CV boot with you Martin as he has done lots before, Found out today (had mine in for some cheecky ramp action) one of my CV boots is cracked and leaking so I will be needing mine doing soon.

i think the doors are easy enough to do Stu, and Mike will be more than happy to have a look at your brakes Jo
