West of Scotland RSOC

Hi all,

You will notice that Stu (Events Co-ordinator) will put up Roll Call posts for upcoming shows and events, approximately one week before.

It is important that you check the website and reply to these posts if you are booked for a stand or event to confirm you attendance. We have to book stands at these shows with fixed numbers of attendees so that we can be allocated the appropriate space on arrival. There will not always be a Committee member at every show so for those attending it gives a definitive list of who to expect to turn up. It is not ideal to expect 10 folk and only have half turn up on the day, there may be other clubs with additional cars who could use the space, we also like to make some effort to lay our stand out sensibly

The Roll Call post can also be used to organise meet-ups for travel etc.

I understand that circumstances and plans change and sometimes the car refuses to make it to a show (that never ever happens with Fords.........oh that's right, it does ) however a quick update of the post or a text or phone call would be appreciated by whoever is attending the event or setting up the stand etc.

Most folk can contact someone however my number is 07917331358 should anyone need it. I won't personally make every event and show that's organised but by all means drop me a text if plans change last minute and I can pass the information on.

I know this post is getting boring lol but also remember that if you are attending an event you think may be of interest to others in the Club then post it up in Events or Track Events, you might be wrong it may be of no interest to anyone but you never know, the more the merrier

Thanks for reading,

Mel

Well said Mel. We would not be happy if club's book up for
Kames and did not turn up

Totally agree Mel and Andy.

Sunday was a total embarrassment for the club, and space for 10 cars which could have been put to use by others.
I have contacted the organisers with a humble apology.
Too many or too little is expected; none at all is unacceptable IMO, especially as nobody said they weren't going.

Folks need to remember, it's not just a benefit for the group, but also somewhere safe for your pride and joy throughout the day, instead of a carpark or a field.

Embarrassing!!!!!!!!, don't apologies on my behalf. I took a holiday to make the show. , but underestimated how tired I would be after doing a very busy 12 hour nightshift , and decided not to go

My only failing is not contacting Mel in the morning before going to bed for some well needed rest. , but did send a text to Mel to apologise to her as I felt bad for not going

I look forward to Knockhill this weekend on track ,representing the group

A. I didn't put this post up to upset anyone

B. Dalsy did indeed send me a text yesterday and apologised for not sending a wee text on Sunday, although wasn't on the list lol

C. There were other people on the list who I haven't heard from at all

D. Eddie was on his way but unfortunately broke down

E. My car was meant to be on stand but wasn't roadworthy so we were already down on numbers

F. It was a bit embarrasing but I was more concerned that I hadn't heard from anyone

G. I still enjoyed myself It was a good show. My post was just put up as a reminder to everyone to consider the organisation of these events and so that we can manage attendance better in the future

Sorry but iwill have pull out of Knockhill on sunday. My new baby is now on SCBU in Elgin Hospital.
