Cheers, Brucie,

I thought I'd sorted everything - but its working now.

Ta, Dano

so when you going to add a 1/4 mile strip to the proceedings lol

after i've got the abf up the strip

Excellent write up, nice work. Good to see how the club has grown. Those recent trophies - wow!  8O

Keep up the good work guys.

Cheers,

Drew.

Just read through, loved it. Can't believe how long some of you guys have been going, and must say It's really impressive. People don't realise just how much you all put into the group, and not just the running of the website!
Only been a member since Jan this year, but already met some brilliant people who are FULL of knowledge, and advice and are genuinely just nice people
Really looking forward to AGM, and so are several of my friends who are getting fed up of my stories that all start "on the mk1 forum"
Big thanks to everyone that runs it all, and please keep up the awesome work

Great effort Dano  

Would you like to add some info about the way the forum's changed throughout the years?

Here's a thread that has some info on the forum history that's ancient itself!….

http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=813&highlight=campaign+register

I had to check… and the campaign register still exists!!!

But I expect the forum that followed that is dead and gone by now. I think that version crashed or something and a load of posts were lost.

Then we have the one we use today which has itself been improved upon again and again. While I've been away from the scene for a few years things have changed loads! Its great to see the club thriving the way it is and the amount of effort people put in is truly fantastic  

Thanks Ross, it quite a while to research and pull together.

I looked at putting the initial message board in the post but it didn't really fit.

It's an ongoing job - still got this years AGM photos to sort yet!!
