South West where are you?

come one men support your area.
we have a meet 2moro and
"we need you"
to join swm 13 lol

dont make it unlucky 13 :wink:

Considdering we are boderring on Cornwall which is full of VW driving, tax dodging surfer layabouts, you'd have thought we'd get the best turnout figures for the meets. :dontknow:

   

wheres it to again……


ill really really try for the next one, promise!!

next one we think is being held at exeter services instead, on 2nd sunday of next month (october)
should be a big one, lots of ppl saying they will come.
to be decided though.
so check a SWM 14 thread when posted for more details.

Provided Exeter isn't a permanant fixture though I would have liked to have gone to SWM13 There is no way i can make it all the way down to Exeter services, considering i live in north glos.  Will prob alienate a lot of SWM members who live around Bristol area too

Doug has long enough to travel to Taunton from Hereford :roll:

I suggest then that SWM15 is held at either Taunton, or Cribbs.  Pref. Cribbs if you guys are thinking of a rotation basis.  I take it you guys from way down south will be up for a Cribbs Causeway meet 8O  :dontknow:  8O

Cribs is too far for me, its 120 miles which is a long way to go for a bite to eat and have a look at half a dozen cars. Maybe the south west area is too big and needs splitting in 2?

Perhaps you should set up Devon and Cornwall.

Its an idea

thats a good idea, its not that i mind drivin, but tis a long way.
im keen to meet up, so any suggestions??

Think we should have this discussion in SWM14. Need to get this matter resolved

Don't worry, its not just the SWM. Our NWM14 (on a Thursday evening) was attended by 3 people, Dano and I had a chat about it and have come up with different fixes! Its interesting to see that you had a poor turnout on a Sunday, we thought perhaps our problem was it being Thursday.

It seems that there is no longer a big 'core' membership and those who are newcomers, don't return to the next meet. Its been similar for National meets (club stand attendance) too, for example E38 had 6 cars on Saturday, compare this with 30 or so Lupos in their club.

I was thinking that maybe changing the venue from time to time might help to recruit some more members that dont normally attend the meets. Once they know whats its all about they might wish to travel further. :dontknow:

Worth a bash I think. Keeping it at the same venue all the time makes it a bit boring. Ideally it'd be nice to meet somewhere nicer than a motorway services type of place once in a while.  

God yeah, i agree with that

hopefully go for a cruise, meet new people the lot.

maybe the devon& cornwall idea might work?
as much as i want to meet as many people as possible, it is a long way.
