More events sounds good. If we had more regular users then a monthly meet would be great, otherwise it can be a lonely affair!
I'm sure OP has a few ideas.
Perhaps a general "Midlands" meet to include a few of the West Mids boys? Somewhere between the two regions (Derby area, or Burton perhaps?)
We've had regular Monthly meets up until the end of 2006. At this point I decided to give it a couple of Months until we start up again.
I've organised a few events including Laser Quest with the WM guys but its really hard to get people to comit to a date/location.
I'm up for more 'events' as well as the usual meets.
ideas?
what about the west mids V east mids 5-a-side idea ?? would bring people together/get to know each other etc
"everyone loves a clean nova"
Laser Quest was good fun
I wish, Westmids have already got a team together, just waiting for the eastmids to get their arse into gear...!!
If I like it, I lick it. If I dont, I kick it
CAN NO LONGER GET TYRES, SORRY
i don't play football! would still come along tho.
We need 5 members first, then we will start looking at a team lol.
Is it that bad then OP?
would be nice to hav a night out in notts every now and then, don't get out there much nowadays!
I'd be up for that. Maybe meet up on Cannock chase for a BBQ or something like that.
Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.
OP id turn out for the EM'ers at 5 a side
We've had a number of joint meets with the WM. The problem isnt having the meets but getting EM people to turn up.
There have been a good number of new members/forum users who have recently shown interest so hopefully we can build on this to make the EMids a great region. When I first started as a Co-ord there were about 15 people who turned up. Then as the year went on people had other things to do so the numbers fell.
I'm also happy to vary the meet locations and times etc
It was kind of a joke mate
I like this idea. Maybe towards the summer we can arrange something like this?
OP the Derbyshire Region of the VxSCC that I run is exactly the same, members come and go and we have always struggled with low numbers. It must be that there are too many clubs in this area so if we all merge as one we could make a huge club.
lmao the last one we had involved us cooking under a 'tarp as it was pissing down!
good fun all thge same
One joint meet we had was the WM's lot + OPNo other EM's people turned up
A joint meet is the way forwards, it's just finding a central location for everyone! Burton is within easy reach for most Notts/Derby folk, but probably too far for some WM members.
A meet / big BBQ / romantic walk in the woods sounds good.
I don't think joint meets are the way forward. I think they're good to have now and again but it doesnt solve the EMids problem, just makes the numbers look good. The way forward IMHO is to increase the number of regular EM meet go'ers to a reasonable number.
Saturdays meet looks like its going to be a good'un. Hopefully if Chav puts on a bit of a man-show for us other like minded individuals will be convinced to come again!
Thats reminded me, we really have to look at getting the MIG hike off the ground for the summer
If I like it, I lick it. If I dont, I kick it
