Hi Guys,
I can see things didn't really go well here but there is good things that can come out of it...
1. You are all interested in sorting something, when it is most convinient for everyone
2. Chopper, you cleaned your car up nice and shiney... it's no loss really... as you can enjoy it anyway.
3. There are quite a few members from the area and i'm sure more will come along in time.

Just to calm everyone down a little and bang on a bit...
When the site was first made, there was 4 people... it took LOTS of TIME, EFFORT and WORK to get people to join up and then a community to start. Our first meet was a stab in the dark and it took months and months of planning.
I personally think you guys are the best sort of people to organise out FIRST "inter-region" meet.
From experience of organising my own "inter-region" meets for the FFOC.co.uk West Midlands Region. Ask people what day best suits them first of all... NOT a specific date... just a day... like... some might go to the gym on tuesdays... but be free Wednesdays.
Once you have got all this information... set a date, minimum 3 weeks ahead that suits the majority of people.
Then most importantly... STICK WITH IT and the people who said they would go... STICK WITH IT too. A let down will never be trusted, or bothered with again.
I will step in and help with the organisation to the next meet just to get things rolling... I hope you guys could sort a regular monthly meet? That would be a really good social event.
Anyway... Chin up guys... not all lost... we're all here and everyone still wants to meet!!!
Thanks
