Don't bring me into this, I have no interest in going to chavshow, sorry I mean japshow. It's the same scoobys every year, the same tack shops for car parts, and the same saxo/corsa chav doing hand brake turns in the field during the night.Originally Posted by Steve_20085
The only decent thing about pod is dwyb.
Im sorry? The "gestapo" as you put it are running a club here, with various costs and expenses, insurances to maintain and a system for doing things. This event is 3 months away, theres plenty of time to get things together - if theres a decent interest then we can bring the marquee, barbecues, discos and stuff but thats not a decision that can be made overnight.
Perhaps youd like to take on what our events organisers do, maybe you want to step up and put the hours and hours of work that go into planning the weekender, or stand at a gate for 3 hours to make sure no-one is pulling a fast one coming in for free, or hang around longer than anyone else to clear everyones shit up and make sure we keep a good name for the club? Maybe you want to shoulder the potential liability if something does go badly wrong?
Course you wont, because the same as most people, youre happy enough taking but quick as anything to start bitching. Nice to know everything we do is appreciated.
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
Got to admire your enthusiasm dude, but as per my previous post we cant just make decisions overnight. Cleanhands is going to get in touch with the S15OC, and then we will start lugging it on here - Im quite happy to share a stand but as Ive said above, if the numbers warrant it we have a lot of additional equipment we can bring
We are currently organising a weekender at Anglesey, Duxford event, Japshow, Ring trip and Le Mans trip so this isnt top priority, particularly not with the timescale weve got to play with but we do need to start seeing if theres any interest, once we know how many are interested then we can decide what we are doing with it

Ash, can you tell me who to get in touch with on S15OC please?

The mods have allways been referred to as the gestapo,as you well know.
As for your opinion of me,well funny as fook.
Do you know me? becaause you, nor anyone else has ever cleared my shit up.
Me a taker not a giver eh, well am afraid you got that wrong too.
I'm sorry but you are wrong to slap down a member you obviously don't know. Just because someone isn't club staff doesn't mean they don't do their do their bit for the club. Jeff does what ever he can to promote the club and help out locals where possible and he isn't the only one. We do appreciate what work goes into running the club but if anything comments like the ones in the above post show that sometimes the club doesn't appreciate what some of its members do for the club.Im sorry?

The post did come across as very negative towards the club admin tbh. I've been a member on here for years and have never known of the staff go be known as the gestapo, Mark is however known as Hitler so can see the connection
The part that will get people's backs up is the "I can't say what I really think" line. That did very much come across as a swipe at the club staff
Spice_weazle I'm sure I can say for all of the forum staff that we don't underestimate how much some of our membership does for the club and it's members

If someone is going to describe me as "the gestapo" and somehow suggest he cant say what he "really thinks" Im going to react to it. Its great that people are putting effort in but when I see that type of negativity what am I supposed to think? I might have got the wrong end of the stick and genuinely apologise if thats the case but that appeared to be a snydey attack on the club which is uncalled for IMO.
A lot of people put a lot of time an effort in to try and make this club as good as it can be, obviously corfublue included, and it sometimes gets taken for granted a bit. Im sorry if Ive offended anyone but I can get a bit fiery about it sometimes
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
As long as this goes ahead then i will be up for it, keep us updated on what to do and when and ill be all over it

Sorry to bother again, but has there been any news regarding this event as of recent?
Just catching up with everyone, as Ive been pretty busy with work lately

Good for you then.
nissan_s15, cleanhands has tried to contact the organisers to sort out what we need to do but as yet we still havent had a reply. Chasing is occurring.
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
ok cool, cheers buddy. Thanks for the update
Hey guys,
A quick update on the situation. I am still awaiting feedback from SXOC in regards to a shared show stand, but the good news is that the S15 Owners Club is now officially booked in on tarmac. Which is listed on the Japshow website.
If anyone else is interested in attending this event, then please let SXOC know asap, as we need at least 10 people for this show stand to happen.
Regards
Ash
Will put up thread in S-body related later this evening, bit busy right now.
I'm thinking of going to this never been before
Cheers cleanhands, your help is much appreciated as always. No rush buddy on the thread, just put it up when your ready to, I know how busy life can get sometimes, what with work and family lol.
And Ron200sx, if you can make it, then that would be fantastic. The more the merrier.
I'm down mate. Drop me a text when you want me to fire the money over.
Thread's up Ash, if anything needs changing let me know on this thread then it keeps that one looking neat.
Could everyone who definitely wants to attend please PM me with the following details asap:
Name
Contact details
Car specs - (so i know who to look out for on the day)
And how you would like to pay (either on the day/over the phone to Santa pod direct/or through my PayPal/or through SXOC ?)
Thanks guys and bare in mind that June 30th will come round fast.
Regards
Ash
