Default Time To Take A Step Backwards

Just to let you all know that after Rally Day and the next meet are out of the way I will be stepping down from organising events, meets or show attendance for South Wales Scooby's.

I don't mind organising the occasional run but that will be about the extent of my involvement from now on, I think there are enough other members to shoulder some of the work instead of as at present just a few people organising everything.

I will still attend meets, events and shows but it will be as an attendee rather than organiser.

Thank you so much for all the blood,sweat and tears over the many months. There are many who just jump on and reap the benefits of your efforts.

I know where you coming from having been there myself, chill your boots mate. But quite a few owe you the common courtesy of at least a comment of thanks.

When I read the thread title, I thought you'd decided to take up line-dancing...

I have just read this and even though I haven't known you for that long every meet is spot on and the one day out I have gone on was on the money so from me your organisation will be missed.

Ty that's a shame mate you did your time and duty and everybody deserves to enjoy meets and shows without fear of reprisal or hassle. Speaking to you Kev and Ian it does seem a thankless task and we all take it for granted for that I'm sure we're all sorry perhaps we should appreciate what all of you guys that organise events do for us making our lives easy and I thank you so very much for all the meets events and runs you've organised and put together. Thank you mate. I would love to step up and organise some shows and events but trust me you wouldn't want me to, I'm the most unorganised person in the world I've got enough trouble finding my socks in the morning and the misses helps me with that lol. Let's hope someone with equal ability as you three and maybe just maybe we don't take them for granted now you'll have the time to make your hatch as fast as mine lol

Thanks Ian, I appreciate the kind words.

You are 100% correct in what you say, lots of people want things done but very few actually do.

I will be happy to offer assistance to anyone if they need it, they only have to ask.

Thanks Andy, you hit the nail on the head so to speak and thanks for the offer.

Thanks Craig, it has been enjoyable on the whole but at the moment I just don't have the time at the moment.

Thanks Daz, it can be a thankless task sometimes but on the whole it has been enjoyable and worthwhile doing.

I wish whoever takes the reigns all the best, if they need any help they only need to ask.

I am not and never will be a line dancer, for one thing I don't have relationships with my own family.

Fair play to you Ty you've done an excellent job, I know I never get to many events (always bloody busy!) but I do see all the work you do!
Both yourself and Ian always seem to be the ones organising for the masses and very often without enough appreciation.

Thanks Dave I should also mention that Matt also organises as well, as it would be unfair not to mention the effort he has put in over the period as well.

I've only ever managed one meet with you guys, since I moved away, but I know how hard it is to keep a club running smoothly. You must have done a great job up until now.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Yea matts always very silent in his efforts and puts a hell of a lot into it that people don't see,he keeps me on line and and without him I wouldn't make any show he texts me and si to say it's the show this week don't forget. And not to mention matt is the sole person responsible for the meets taking place (we won't go into the reasons why lol) we've had some great organisers I do include Julian and Chris garner in that because they also put their heart into it with very little respect we all need to show a little more love

Huge thank you for your efforts over the last 14 months or so since I've been attending meets, runs and events Ty I realise it can be a thankless job but everything you have done has always been appreciated by myself and Alisa.

It's a frustrating roll at times but also can be very enjoyable.

Your to be congratulated all the hard work and commitment put in over the past few years but as you say time to put your feet up and let someone else have a go.

As already said Ty, it is a thankless job at times although what you do is very much appreciated by all I have no doubt,

It is a shame your stepping down as you have done a sterling job in the past, I hope you enjoy your rest bite, and you have a change of heart ready in the coming months.

The thing is…. if you didn’t change your cars so often and spend so much money refining them to your personal taste you would have more time on your hands for organising events... (Sorry could not resist Ha Ha)
