Thanks for the replies. I am willing to help next year and I think I can get some help on designing a stand if it would help. I really am not knocking anyone but unless people make their feelings known those running the show have no idea there is a problem. I saw people complaining about spares but I cannot see how unless everyone knows there is a problem it will never get solved. Chris and his wife do a sterling job and perhaps some others should get involved in helping with sourcing and quality control. It is our club and I know I am a new member but unless we all help and encourage those who put in many hours, days or weeks to make the club a success they will lose heart and stop.
The club needs to be more web wise to try and get younger people. I was on the Ford stand and talking to a young guy about the MK1 Escort Mexico on the stand. Valued at around £45,000 he was saying how classic cars were out of his reach. I explained the rough costs of Tractions and he was amazed. We need to get these people.

I agree about the price thing Baz. The people I gave joining-up leaflets to were all struck by the price of Tractions. One chap opened the subject by saying: “Yes, but when you look at these cars they must be… well, quite expensive”. When I told him the average prices for Tractions his eyebrows shot up and I could see the cogs whirring. That’s when he said “Can you let me have some club information?”.
