Area Rep.

dmallett · Apr 23, 2014

Anyone willing to take over the role? As let's me be honest I'm pretty poor at it & I seriously lack motivation.

This doesn't mean I won't attend meets I just feel someone else could do better.

This thread is basically me resigning, not that I ever got a blue name anyway

Owen92 · Apr 23, 2014

It's not the easiest thing to organise meets to please everyone is it?
Loads of people were interested in the Hunstanton meet, but then only a few have actually said they are going.

barrythecat · Apr 24, 2014

possibly interested in this although i'm hertfordshire,which is classed as east of england and apart from ace cafe meets,we seem to be lacking in this direction and being between jobs at the moment,i have a bit of spare time on my hands

Sam · Apr 24, 2014

There is a new system coming into place shortly so I don't think the admin team are changing reps at the moment.

BoatNonce · Apr 24, 2014

New system? Rep Roulette?

Basically impossible to do so, trying to organise things has completely drawn any appeal out of the meets / shows for me.
Shame really,

I feel the same and I've only organised three meets. If it wasn't for the small group that go to the P'boro meets, I wouldn't bother organising anything. It's a nightmare trying to find something to do all the time.

dmallett · Apr 24, 2014

Im going to try make it to one of your meets! Still unsure on the Bank Holiday one

Owen92 · Apr 24, 2014

I'll keep you in mind next time I organise something mate.

markerboy2002 · Apr 25, 2014

I'd like to go for the area rep, I enquired about it when Danny called it a day but I got there too late, I'd really enjoy doing it and I have enough free time to manage it.

P17 TOO · Apr 25, 2014

I look forward to all the Norwich/Yarmouth meets :rasp:

scaryopa · May 5, 2014

hopfully they wont just be in norwich or yarmouth... 3 hour dive for a meet is a bit much for some of us.

P17 TOO · May 5, 2014

We shall see......

scaryopa · May 5, 2014

Well fairly pointless being an area rep who doesnt do meets central so all can attend... they are normally just you guys cant b arsed to come an hour drive....

P17 TOO · May 5, 2014

I'm happy to drive as you know but it's the others out my way who don't like too! Think the furthest meet I've been to is the Cambridge one and that was pretty crap because none of the locals bothered!

I'm not really interested because I've got other stuff to sort out in my life rather than Clio meets and I hibernate over winter so it would only be a spring/summer thing as far as I'm concerned!

As the Ring trip never happened this year I wouldn't mind doing an EoE trackday trip to North Wales but not many here now do track days...

Rob197RS · May 5, 2014

I do trackdays but as for meets, sitting in a car park for hours seems pointless

P17 TOO · May 5, 2014

It's OK if you know the people and if you don't you're prepared to make an effort to actually talk but if not yeah it would probably be pointless to most. I imagine a lot of people just join the forum to get knowledge of their new car and to actually meet other forum members in person would seem totally absurd which is fair enough!

BoatNonce · May 5, 2014

In 99.9% of our meets the cars get left in the carpark, you'll find us sat in the pub!

Rob197RS · May 5, 2014

I definitely dont mind the pub!

Owen92 · May 5, 2014

Well after today, any one that takes on the roll of the EoE area rep role, has my respect. Definitely not something I'd take on.

AlexW · May 5, 2014

Lets just meet at dmallett's all the time. Works out well normally.

What happened? between breaking clios and organising s**t meets ive aged, last time I saw you I had the 350z IIRC. I now look about 40 lol

AlexW it does work well lol

AlexW · May 5, 2014

Even better now you has BBQ.

Two people turned up, although we missed scareyopa because he got caught in traffic, but we didn't know due to there being no signal.

It's alright for you, I've looked 40 for a long time!

scaryopa · May 5, 2014

Dans house ftw, simple and easy meets, like 2 hours away but meh, when theres a bbq on offer that becomes irrelivant

Yeah i agree with that and i know you do come down to them

like i said we normally meet up and do something other than stand in a car park, like titing about on an airfield or going to eat and have a catch up, but not to everybodys taste. And yeah it may be a bit off meeting people from here, but some of my good mates ive met on here and see quite reguarly now so it can be good.

And in winter nobody wants to do anything outside lol

markerboy2002 · May 6, 2014

I saw somewhere someone mentioned breaking the east up into groups, I think this is a good idea due to the fact a lot of the Norwich lot don't like travelling too far and many people think Norwich is too far away from them, which in quite a few cases is understandable

AlexW · May 6, 2014

Truth is, theres no need to actually split the area. Just needs more people to sort out meets in their local area (so Norfolk, Bury/stow way and peterboro etc).

Splitting it up will just end up with dead area's, as people, like me willing to travel, will probably miss events, causing a futher lack of turnout.

dmallett · May 6, 2014

Alex is right.

29th June, Yarmouth meet? I'll organise it one last time, get a decent turn out. Get the area kick started again? lol

P17 TOO · May 6, 2014

I can tell you now I'm out on that as I'll be at Peppa Pig World!
