Preston hall 27th & 28th juneAfter the success and good time at last years Preston hall Fire engine and vehicle rally could I have some commitment for vehicles and personnel for this years show which is on 27th & 28th June this year. We need to make it even better and we also need a new gimmick to draw the punters in, last year we had the prize draw for the place on our 24hr kart team. What can we do this year? If you can commit let me know and any ideas will be greatly received thank you. Pm me any time see u soon
ps If any one has any promo gear or raffle prizes please send them over to me either via club ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT STOCKTON BOWLS CLUB AT 8:30-10:30 or Tel me

I was wondering if it is worth the effort, I know we need to promote the club but last year we gained diddly squat. The competiton winner hasn't been to the club and I am not sure that apart from Slippy's new car we can put on much of a different display.
Lots to think about and discuss.

Not sure about the lack of interest... i would of helped the same as last year. Has anyone specifically said they wont be involved this year?

Have I missed something, I thought it was to be discussed?

Can't remember discussing it either!! But it does clash with round 4 of the karting!

In which case it rules out Ste, you, Bob & me for a start.
Best shelve it for this year then!

If it was to run, the karting wouldnt be too much of a problem, it only means certain members away from the stand for two to three hrs maybe.

On a similar subject... the Evening with Guy Wilks and friends for this year is earmarked for Fri Oct 30th. The venue is provisionally booked and had to be booked well in advance for us to have the date required. At some point we (club) will discuss everything at a club meeting but hopefully everyone understands why i couldnt wait before making that decision. (date is to fit within this years rally calender)

In my opinion the point when it should have been discussed at a club meeting was surely before anything was booked - sorry but I don't understand why you couldn't wait or even mention it at last night's club night.

It's a bit close to the F1000 rally we'll be running at Teesside on December 6th. I hope we have enough resources for both.

surely almost 6 weeks is sufficient?? 
|
club sec
|
being involved with a stage event you should know how much is involved.
|
Gav Taylor
|
my point exactly with 6 weeks to go the back should have been broken
|

of 2 events with 1 team to draw from, I don't think so.
trying to sort the rally forum last year put the CHR 2 months behind and that wasn't til Feb, sorry but you are very wrong.

according to JTW the Guy Wilks Night was organised by a one man band was it not? 
At the end of the day both ran very well bar the shite clocks on the CHR so thats either...
A: Luck
or
B: A very organised and devoted team of club members (bar me, of course just hovering on the fringes)

i forgot to mention it. besides, it is only provisionally booked. There was only two friday slots left over the latter part of the year. the one i got was the one thats fits with the rally calender best. (it is a rally night). To leave it much later to prov book it would risk losing a Friday booking which as we found out last year made a difference.
although i never said it was a one man band, i certainly did the most of the work and i'm sure no one can argue that, but how did it put the CHR 2 months behind? My part of the CHR didnt start until Christmas and if i was behind, how was it that everything was done in time for the event?
As Gav said, 6 weeks is a good distance between both events and as last year, i wont be asking for much help from other members except on the evening itself.
Did no one enjoy last years? why does it seem some people dont want it to run this year?

from a profile point of view I would go with the Guy Wilks nights over a historic rally any day of the week
theres so many low profile events now and as were starting to get establshibed with real rallies
i.e the ToH with WRC machinery it shows were getting noticed
