Mr Bazessex,
You will see that the forum administrator has allowed your post to stand – and why not . Presumably as you intended, some 650 club members are now all witness to your deliberations.
A recurring theme to your posts is that you feel qualified to pronounce on what you perceive as the TOC committee’s shortcomings yet, you have never attended a club committee meeting and have no knowledge of how the club committee works.
I have read your reply to my (earlier) invitation to attend a TOC committee meeting, and I note that you seem sensitive to the fact that your contributions to the forum have not been particularly well received. If you feel that the club is not serving your needs you have at least two choices. If you elect to stay in the club and if you are serious about seeing changes made within the committee (and the club) you should to inform yourself on how the committee works. May I cordially repeat my invitation to you to attend a committee meeting and see how it works.
On another matter…. The TOC National Rally was advertised in the January February 2016 copy of FP. Members were invited to sign up sooner rather than later. Those who, for whatever reason were dilatory in signing up were (invited FP May June 2016) to attend the rally on the Sunday. So far as I understand it, all who wished to attend the rally in whole or in part did so.
We had members and cars from Norway, Holland. Belgium, France and the UK in attendance. Below is a link to photographs of what was a very successful event. Enjoy !!

I did see the adverts for the birthday bash from the start but there was no description of what was planned and since I had never been to a event I had no idea what to expect. After the not so warm welcome when attending the NEC by a few members I was reluctant to lay out a lot of money without some idea of what would happen. In the following issues no mention was made that unless you booked a room you could not attend. Had I not said something on this forum nothing could have been sorted in the timescale. There may well have been spaces available at short notice but I was not waiting until the last minute to take a chance.
Lack of knowing how this committee works does not mean that I cannot say what I think does it? I liked the telling comment that the committee allowed the forum only for discussion on technical matters, who gave them the right to impose restrictions? Surely the membership should decide what appears on their forum? For some members from abroad the forum is the club. The committee seems to have done a sterling job to date of alienating people and causing them to leave.
Looking at back copies of FP I do not need to see the recent event because it will just show all the same as before. I could go on but cannot see the point but I would add I just repeat the comments I have heard and agree with. When the President of the club thinks it highly hilarious to attack people who made genuine observations on here as a whingers or was it moaners club it shows just what the people at the top think of the ordinary members.
