DamanC Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Right, ive been giving this a bit of thought. The regular bluewater meets tended to bomb out due to it being too frequent and not enought attendance. Im going to sugest that regular meets are not encouraged as I suspect it will do eactly the same. What i will put foward is a one off, like the big southenders. Perhaps we could have one before the anual big southend meet which is usaully May time. Mid April good for peeps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChin Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 What about once a month, or once every 2 months. Or is that what your saying? This way the clubbies could keep up on current events while having a good time also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_surj Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 A big meet sounds great but would like something say every 1 or 2months or so. even if its a small regular one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4longer Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 i would say every 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddigga Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 A bigger annual event would be good but I still think that we should do a smaller meet every month or two as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Month or two sounds good to me.. Think the previous problem was it was nearly weekly or every two weeks there was some kind of meet there.. I was always interested but alot of the time if i was a bit busy i would think to myself "well its alright if i dont go as there will be one next week" etc.. Just an idea as well could we do a wednesday.. A to break up the week a bit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yeah if you would be so kind. Yeah the membership cards would be a way of identifying those that actually have the right to be there. Surely just bringing the Supe would imply that you are member of the MKIV Supra owners club? unless you turn up in a Nova then you would have to bring your membership card :d A meet does sound good @ Bluewater - I've been once before and its a good place especialy the lower levels because of the lighting on the bodywork!!

MarkR Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm all for a meet every month or 6 weeks at Bluewater. The big meets are sometimes a little impersonal and i meet more people at the small ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChin Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Spoke to the Big Wig at Bluewater yesterday, the Property Manager. He was basically trying to fob us off as a yobbish car club until i explained to him exactly what we are about, it goes a little something like this (Run DMC). "We are the biggest (i hope so) supra owners club in the UK with alot of members accross the country. Our South-Eastern branch is looking for somewhere to accomodate us so that members can see each others cars and have a good old natter without the constraints of public houses's." He replied: "We have had alot of problems with car clubs sitting in the carparks and causing havok, racing about and reving there engines. Even tho we do not have any housing near the property itself we do need to keep a lid on what happens whilst the shoppers are away. They expend our resources and are causing more trouble everytime they return." I replied: "I can understand that there has been problems in the past but there wont be problems with us, our members are above the age of 20 and the cars that we drive are not cheap bits of rubbish to be throwing all of the place. We are enthusiasts, not a bunch of people who have a contest to who makes the most noise. The cars will be stationary with engines off, unless getting ready to go. I rang you up today, as we are a respectable club and would only use Bluewater when we are given permission. We don't want a bad reputation and if that was the case we would find somewhere else to go." He Replied: "It seems as your an exception to the rule, he then went onto talk about insurance purposes, as all cars under the property aren't protected by it's insurance there could be problems with liability." I replied: "Im sure the members wouldn't have a problem signing a liability clause with bluewater to rid you off any worries about legal proceedings." Do we have a club insurance? He Replied: "Well im very pleased that you have called us to discuss this matter, i will speak to our new manager of bluewater (cant remember title) and see what he has to say and ill give you a call back." --------------------------------------------- Well it seems to be in the pipeline atleast. I will keep you updated. I did say to him whether or not when the time comes for a representative to come for a meeting, this would be possible. Daman?

DamanC Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have no problems, comming along to a meeting. Althou i am some 5 50 odd miles away so i can have a chat with him should the meet go ahead We do not have a club insurance, and it would be far too expensive to cover this cost everytime this meet happens. Its private property so in theory our insurance is null and void, but as long as everyone is sensible then we shouldnt have a problem.

Golddigga Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Is there anymore info on this one? I would be more than happy to call Bluewater to follow up if need be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChin Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Been chasing them up. It's under review with the insurance department atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hope they let us back, i went to the odd BW meet last year, it was very very good, untill the chavs turned up Nowt wrong with them coming, they will probably be the next generation of owners, but do what the rest of use do, park up and go look around on foot.

TheChin Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Dont you worry im chasing them up. As i said to them, all members do have a membership card so if any trouble the people at the meet can produce this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
