What is the log book? What function/purpose is it supposed to serve? Sorry if it's an obvious question ... !

I'm still mulling over all the recent comments but ...

If all the races are put in the SE England then I won't be racing, though would still try to attend as a spectator. If trying to promote the club is it not better to travel over a wide area so that the cars are seen ... not just a circuits, but on the road? Limiting the area racing surely reduces the visibility of the club?

I like the idea of articles being sent to magazines, etc. I can remember the Scottish series having a paragraph in the (then Glasgow) Herald. Every little helps.

Charleston in the red white and blue might be good for the club colours, as IMO it looks a wee bitty like another red, white and blue car just now ... !

Argh! Would love to attend, but had already altered plans seeing the weekend was now free! Off on a 2cvEcosse event instead.

Fair point Ainslie. The commentary where Christian or yourself has been involved has been good, that's not what is at fault or, I would hope, being discredited.  :oops:

What's irritating is when the commentator for the circuit does a lovely job of providing info/commentary of the action for one race, then the 2cv's come on and you get silence for an hour! That is what gets my back-up! No, granted, not every commentator likes having their box invaded, but, if they aren't going to attempt to commentate for a race or decide that they'll go for a tea break during the 2cv race as in their view nobody would come to watch such slow vehicles, then something has to be done.

And shame on teams for not completing forms properly! Ainslie's right, if you haven't pertinent information in front of you what are you supposed to say! I think that grants Christian and himself (or whoever steps into the commentary box) to make-up the history for that team and tough luck if you hear that you're ex-convicts for armed robbery! Yes, it's fun to have a laugh and write down a pile of nonsense, but for goodness sake boys and girls there's a time and place!

Perhaps when membership is being sent out a form should be issued with it to update team/individual info. Oh, wait ... that's been tried ... so why on earth aren't they returned? Does a stamp/email really cost so much? Do so few people actually care about trying to keep the club going?

On the idea of advertising things and seeing the season is now a race short ... 3rd Sept is "Run What You Bring" day at Santa Pod. 2cvGB have quite a few members taking their own cars along. How about using it as an advertising type event for the club? If any wants further info I have links etc and will happily email you the details, or if the club wants to attend as a club I'll email the details to whoever wishes to be deemed organiser!

That's a darn good point. It wouldn't take much to run off a few posters and put them in strategic venues; i.e. petrol stations, supermarket, community noticeboard.

It might take a while to attract numbers but every little helps? There has been some info placed with 2cvGB, I hope to finish articles for the mag this week ... inbetween car dismantle, thesis rewrite and NVQ assesments, never mind finding that blue book ... A lot of the forum users have expressed interest in at least attending meets, but weren't sure where to find info. They've been directed to this site, but I also stick as much up-to-date info on the forum too. Is it worth putting this sort of info onto other car forums? A relatively cheap way of drawing attention to an event ...?

BTW when is the dinner dance because I can't find any of this year's copies of pace ... having an off week on the organised front! May need to try and get time off work.
