Not sure if this has been brought up before or not, or if this is in the right place. But could it be worth getting some reginal reps together?

Seems to be a lot of meets happening and it seems to work but just wondering if more people would get involved if it was a little more official rather than people who are friends mainly as I know that can put people off.

Also, we could maybe talk to the STOC reps and try and mix a couple of meets together...bridge the gap so to speak.

Any thoughts?

Sounds good id be one

I'd throw my name in that hat, Tez

To be fair, us lot in the NW just organise our own meets over text and PM...

Haha I know. Might be an idea tho definatly something to think about

Precisely, now if you guys had one person, and told the forum about it. You could potentially have a much bigger meet and gain more local members up for attending reguarly

We'd have to steal some off STOC - there's not that many people around here on FFST in comparison to say Northampton and Essex

To be fair that's why I made up some business cards...

Indeed! Wheres Scotty when u need him!

Tez shouldn't be allowed to be a rep on here until he removes a certain sticker set from his windows

I think it would be a good idea to have dedicated areas on the site per county etc so would make sense to have someone to overlook each area or effectively be a rep I'd be up for it but Its an all or nothing scenario imo

I personally don't think it would work on here, there's not enough people, being a rep on STOC its hard enough to get people together for meets and there's a lot more people on there

If you start making areas on this forum it will kill it

To like the darkside think the way it is. Is alright shouldnt fix what isnt broken

Without wishing to pour cold water over anyone, I have to agree with the last few posts that it isn't really needed.

The forum has been growing and there has been a lot of of local meets organised which is great. The fact that people have been attending and that you've all managed to organise them amongst yourselves shows to me that things are already working well.

This isn't aimed at anyone on here as I think you're a sensible bunch, but the problem is when you start having too many people with titles then things can get a little messy and some people become power crazed. We've always tried to run the site so that as much as possible the difference between the team and the members is nothing. I'm not God and neither are the rest of the team, we try and run things without being all high and mighty.

Whilst the forum has grown it's nice to have a smaller community of people who whilst they may know the people from round about them, still interact and talk to one another at the national shows.

I hope that this answers your questions and helps.

Chris

Cheers Jesus
Yeah guess ur right Chris things are fine as they are

Tbh i think it would just turn into stoc, thats the last thing i'd want to happen! Then say if someone wants to organise something, a rep might get shirty!

We're always more than capable of doing mini meets and sorting everything out ourself!

I agree, too many retards on stoc and a lot of them are reps lol *cough* points at Dan *cough*

Jokes aside, the reason this site works so well is due to it being a small community and everyone knows each other through posting and as you said there isnt grouping.

The moment you start putting regionals up, ill be sitting on my own lol as there isnt a single FFST member local to me hahaha.

We organise our own meets in St. Neots and its usually a good mix of both sites, and everyone generally gets on ok. With the exception of a few from stoc, rally slag lol, its ya mums car you prick! Oops sorry, got a little carried away there

I would like to see more meets organised close to me, but we dont need a rep to do that. Like Dan said, its hard enough getting people to turn up on stoc and thats a BIG site!

We dont want little Hitlers running around here tyvm!

Sshh Tom, you would relish the idea of being Hitler wannabe!

No probs Chris

Well, seems its all settled before i put 2 pence worth in

I was just gonna say keep it as it is

I'm just glad tez hasn't been given any responsibility done us all a favour!! Bless him!! North west meet before ford fair what you reckon I would defo make trip up from joke-on-trent!!

North west meet for the win!

Hahaha u can f off Thorpster! Im king of the worrrrrrldd!

I will organise something soon mate. Maybe on a sunday in a few weeks?

Dooooo itttt

I shall!

Don't fix what isn't broken. To be fair, it is usually the same people who organise meets etc.

Nah don't reckon we need reps

we dont need reps what you end up doing is splitting the club into specific groups who know each other more then others do and you get the seperation effect also known as FSTOC.

And Thorpster nice one we will sort sumthin out!

North East meet.. maybe I could take the misses up to meet the Grand Parents in Newcastle and detour to this haha

Her Geographys terrible so I could just pretend we were stopping at services and WOW weve come across an ST meet, would be rude not to say Hi and stay here for a few hours before calling off the trip to Newcastle lmao

Guys come down to essex in July

It's warmer down here, we are closer to the equater

Would be up for a NW meet before

I am going to appoint myself Rep of the UK

From now on, meets are only to happen in St. Nets
