The other was MB World and Brooklands - after arriving went in out of the rain to have a look around as first time there from top floor noticed a stream of crossfires headed away.
Newbies don't know the ropes and meet locations are often new so a little more advance info on agenda would be useful either here or on crossfire UK site as long as we know which.
Besides that mostly they conflict with other arrangements.
You make some valid points and I am sorry to say i have to agree with you.
(by the way I am not a member of the organising committee of UKCrossfires)
There is a a growing number of us longstanding and regular meet goers who can't understand the difficulty in getting info to owners
All owners get is an email with sketchy info contained and usually that's it
Apparently this forum is regarded as not a good medium of communication by UKC, so you may well ask, why is there a link to it from ukcrossfires.co.uk
It seems that members are not allowed to see who else is intending to attend a meet
if full details were posted up on here and everyone knew that the info was here, everyone would know exactly what is going on and if anyone didn't, they could ask!!!
I'm sure that if most of use knew, "newbie's" were attending we would make a special effort to welcome them, I know if I see a new face at a meet, that I have not met before, I make a point of saying hello! But it can also be upto the "newbie" to make a bit more of an effort to join in, come say hello, introduce them selves!
I have personaly never come across anyone criticising someone's car, well not face to face!! someone did think it clever to have a pop at one of mine last week on here! I didn't see the post it was removed before I did
But things like that will happen, you just take it on the chin and get on with it.
Don't forget, UK Crossfires in not an owners club!!! so is not going to be run like one!!
So this will be me "BLACKBALLED" .....AGAIN!!!!!! lol lol am I bovered??? am I ****!!
