In my opinion the club is in a terrible state  Rob, Isn't that all the more reason to go and hear what David has to say? Darren.

Its strange to hear people's views on club status as I find it quite enjoyable - but then I have only been a member since 2010! What happened to the 1030 Q&A meeting at Gaydon with Mr Frith??

What happened to the 1030 Q&A meeting at Gaydon with Mr Frith??

David explained the sittuation and how the changes he was making were going to solve the problems. IE changing with the times.  If you come to the meeting you will find that he has good idea's for the future however he needs the members to tell him whats wrong to try to put it right. We all have the chance to make the club a success and enjoy it. More importantly have your say. So this is your chance get the club running how it should be.

See you there should be an interesting evening

Hi every one
I am thinking of coming to the meeting but I am a bit confused with the
reason for the meeting in the first place. I am not a very active member
to be honest but I do go to Gaydon every year apart from this year. people are saying that they are not happy with the club, but why? Mr Frith says he is making it better, but what is wrong with it? what has gone wrong with it in the first place. I hope Mr Frith is independent of the motor industry and isn't going to be influenced by them.

Yes I can understand what you mean by go and listen to what he has to say, but what is wrong with the club? I was a member of the club some
25 years ago and in my opinion it is better now than then, please don't
ruin what we have by creating a new order and then turning around and
running away when things don't change enough for you. After all it is a
hobby. PLEASE DONT THINK THAT I AM BEING NEGATIVE, after all I do maintain an eight series, but it does all sound a bit motor trade management talk.

I have been fairly critical of the way the club was run, before David Frith took over and I felt with some justification. I therefore decided to attend as many events as I could and find out which one's suited me. The club is a broad church and as such tries to cater for activities which some people like and others do not, I like to feel I have now tried most things with the exception of the continental trips. However, I accept this can be an expensive hobby and I for one will need to be selective in my future value for money choices.

There can be no doubt in my mind that since David took over things have improved dramatically. In the first instance, he as Chairman is willing to drive from Aberystwyth and come and talk to people who are in their local environment. When did that last happen? He is actively explaining his vision and how those who are willing to contribute will actively and effectively make it more interesting and rewarding. I am not going to attempt to explain those things, many of which David has personally explained to me, but I do encourage anyone to take the opportunity to listen.
I went down last week, to new the office set up and it is a professional and well organised affair. The team which David has, is doing a good job as the learning curve of members requirements is a steep one. Do go along as ask questions, you might be surprised how positive things are!

Hi every one
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the meeting next Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances. Is there someone going who can write
a small account of how it all goes, nothing special, just a quick account
thanks
Nigel

Thank you Marie (aka Michelle - he probably called you that as you weren't sure of the pronunciation of his last name!) for organising the very informative and positive David Frith visit. An interesting chap with lots of good and positive ideas to re-invigorate the Club and no doubt he will garner a lot of support from the membership in a way that the previous administration could never have even hoped for. The future's bright, the future's BMWCC

I think it was a very positive meeting and the future of the club is in safe hands . 

We had a similar meeting (Central) Sept 9th 2013 - it went very well and everybody appeared to be impressed by Mr Frith's proposals for the Club. Also his "overhaul" on Club Business so far (up to Sept) was appreciated. About 20 members were present. Cometh the hour cometh the Man!
