Is this happening?

Ok from what has been said over the past few days and things I have been thinking about since I joined the club on making it better I have a suggestion that I would like input on.

I would like to organise a track day for the club which has a discounted price for members and also include non members at a higher price to fill the remaining spaces.

What I would like to know is, what track would people like to see? So I can contact them to try and organise a deal for the club

My idea is in theory anyway is to get a price for say a 30 car track day and have it so the club members get first dibs at a £30 discount to the non members. This would encourage non members to join the club which would save them £10 on there day and make more money and gain members for the club. Which will also inturn gain the club more stage presence due to people talking about the day on social media by sharing there experience and photos.

How does everyone feel about this?

When - 4pm 06/05/2018
Where - National Kit Car Show, Stoneleigh - Warwick Centre

Agenda:

-Committee reports
-Vote on proposals
-Election of officials
-Any other business


Proposals to be voted on:

1) Current committee to be barred from seeking election to any positions for the year 2018/2019, UNLESS any of the three legal positions (chairman, treasurer, secretary) receive no nominations from club members, at which time, current committee may put themselves forward for those positions.

2) Area secretaries to become committee members - If all area secretary positions were full this would lead to an increase the size of the committee by 23 members - there are currently 12 positions filled - and these new committee member would not have been voted in by the members as they are selected by the commitee. Area secretaries becoming committee members for 2018/19 would also still be subject to the limitations imposed by the out come of item 1.

3) Family Membership - Was proposed at previous AGM, a vote is now required on cost - proposed at £25 to include 2 adults living at the same address and offers a second forum account with full member privileges, as well as second membership number, card etc.

Nominations received to date:

I was reminded of these last night, three dates for 2018 at the Thurlaston Showground, Leicester, LE9 9JE.

Dates are east to remember all Bank Holiday Mondays. The first on 7th May clashes with Stoneleigh but the other 2 are 28th May and 27th August 2018. I went to the August one last year and it's well worth a visit. More details are here:

http://davidfreerevents.co.uk/

I will add them to the Calendar and try and post reminders for the second 2 nearer the dates.

Meet at our usual venue for breakfast prior to driving to Stoneleigh next Sunday 6th May 2018

Breakfast is served from 8AM so meet around then - don't wait for others, pay for breakfast at the bar, grab a seat and get stuck in. We will be departing at 9AM prompt.

If anyone wants to, we can do a final pickup at the BP garage opposite the Styvechale Arms CV3 6PB around 915AM. Anyone interested let us know otherwise we won't stop as it get a bit congested there.

Location of the breakfast as in my signature below

May's meet is at:

Monk's Bridge Farm
Nobel Way,
Dinnington,
S25 3QB

Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout.

For the past couple of years there has been efforts to stop camping in the area we have camped for many years. Last yer there were no camping signs that we chose not to see. might i suggest that an alternative location be marked on the site map just in case we cant / dont camp there or you could all end up spread over the camping areas on the show ground.

For folks wanting to convoy from Leicester to Stoneleigh we will meet at the Mill on Soar pub Coventry Rd, Broughton Astley, Leicester LE9 6QA. at 08.45 leaving at 09.00 prompt and head along the nice country road route to the event.

There is a fuel station opposite the Mill on Soar so we should all be ready to go.

Hi all, May is nearly upon us & I haven't said a word about a May meet.

We have Stoneleigh covering the first week-end ( & a bank holiday ) & we take Florin to Spain again ( With S&L+MX5 ) which takes out the 3rd week-end -- & then we have the last week-end is also a bank holiday ( which may be busy with family)

This just leaves the week-end of 12/13th May ---- any ideas --- could just do a quiet pub lunch some-where central to all who wish for a run --- or ??? Ideas please & names/location if interested. Will then look for a venue.
