Thinknig about it I cannot understand why the question was asked by Kev as they share business interests, so maybe Kev would have known where to go for the answer assuming he attended the AGM?

erm run by Vix so that needs an update too now
i have not done any work with tony for at least 2 years. the distances between us meant it was not viable. we are still good friends but are doing our own things most people know this I dont believe you can or should pass judgement on others if you dont attend. at the AGM we all agreed that the web site was a priority, i dont think there was a single member present that voted against, and that it should be completed by the 1st Jan. as I am not on the committee and therefore do not have the latest information i asked the simple question as to when it was due.!crazylegs wrote:Huw you are several years out of date.
i did attend the AGM, I try and attend them so I can have a say as to how things are to be done.
No hidden agenda, no secret squirrel, just that its nearly Jan and i had not heard anything.
sometimes people still surprise me
- I tend to have an idea of what my friends are upto and use the phone. Still don't understand why you started an unnecessary thread Kev 
The AGM was the place to voice your opinions, this obviousley did not work so........ maybe a little more coms on somthing that does work, i.e this forum, would not go amiss There is a huge lack of communication between the commitee and members/potential members. 
i am looking forward to the new site and was interested. thats it. who and how often i am on the phone is non of your business. IF you knew me you would know how laughable me phoning someone is.& weve acted upon them, hence all the work the committee have been doing since & continue to do, you probably didnt get to know about these things, either because your not a MK1 club member, or because you didnt attend the AGM, simple as that.?, especially as some have already stated they have no intention of joining ? The committee were elected to act upon members wishes to organise & arrange certain things which they pay a membership fee for & would like to see in their club, those things are not going to be broadcast on an open forum.

seems to me that by doing so your inviting opinions and questions.crazylegs wrote:huw i started the thread because i wanted to know what was happening.
you have never met me so please do not suggest otherwise.
- but at least keep it on thread, it unravels more and more everytime you type. You have good enough contact not to have started a thread, that caused unnecessary ill feeling for Phil & Vix. If you don't like a simply observation being made or opnion being brought forward do not use a public forum. Or at least talk straight like Tony does, and keep personal opnions out of a public forum. The key word there though is "after", i am simply saying that it would be better to use the forum so that people who are not able to attend the AGM are able to voice there thoughts in advance, this would be better for collecting a bigger cross section of opinions from members. I would not be willing to pay for a years membership if i did not already have a fairly good idea of what i am joining, simple as that. At the moment you are saying that unless i join and attend the AGM or read the mag then i will not find out about the club and how it is changing, this is a little wrong imho, people need to be informed of whats happening and whats on offer to get them to join. If anyone does contact me (and they have been) I am still passing on their details to Stuart and Ken. I too feel very frustrated that the new website has taken 2 years to complete and now it has got to the final completion stage we are now back at square one and having to employ a professional. What a farce.. no really.. 2 years of nothing. What a waste of time. I cannot emphasise how annoyed I am at this.. I am not having a go completely at Phil here.. he took on the thankless task in the first place which I admire but perhaps he could have received some support/deadlinesto work to. Phil has put a lot of work into this, I saw it for myself when I saw the test forum page for the new website. Having said that... 2 years when it was meant to be done well within a year is a pi** take. (albeit I have been quiet this year)'Mk1 Mr2' or other variables of this wording Having a members only forum is retarded and will only attract a handful of users. The reason that the Mk1 club forum on IMOC is so popular is because it is free to join and post. . this is how most people stumble accross the club website.. when they are looking for a car to buy. The forsale section needs to be the PRIMARY location for buying and selling Mk1 Mr2s in the UK. (Mr2 Mk1 Club) buyers guide which is written and labelled by the Mk1 club. No 'Nick Challenor' guides.. how about an offical Mk1 Mr2 Club guide An advert in a primary location on the new site needs to be dedicated to 'How to join'- what benefits do they get? Will this forum section still be here? Will there be a link on here to the new website forum? The relationship with IMOC has had a real benefit to the club in my opinion and it would be shame to cut any ties. Without individuals like this the club would have died a death a long time ago. The club will NOT die with characters like this at the healm. Spot on guys and you have my full support.

I think it's been here too long too go back to having everything in the same pot. There were discussions about ROC joining us here but I'm not sure what's happening with this. It would be a big shame to break the tie... what exactly was the problem with Phil's website? It looked good to me from what I saw of it. 'decision'

Best I can tell from Jinxys comments in this thread is that the graphics weren't flashy enough. Something which could have been easily fixed if anyone had bothered to raise this with me. My skills lie in making something which works and is easy to use whilst staying simple and uncluttered.
