Roadster Owners Club

[Balidey]

How about the "Haynes Roadster and Single Seater owners club"? As I am putting off my Roadster plans so I can do the SS instead. One club to encompass both? The HRASSOC?

Can we come up with some amusing acronym???

Men (and women (do we have any women on the forum?))

Now I don’t promise anything and don’t hold me to this

BUT

On my way into Andover yesterday I passed a shop that makes and sells signs and vinyl banners. Now on the stand where the roadsters are going to park (Block 39) I guess other clubs will have banners such as ‘Locost car club’, ‘Formula 27 owners’ club’, Historic specials club’, there are more clubs in the same block but you get the idea.

I was thinking of popping in and asking how much for a vinyl banner saying ‘Haynes roadster builders club’. Just a small one that can be bungeed to the roll bar of someone’s car, maybe Ash’s, as most people there probably read CKC and will recognise his car.

This might generate more interest when the Roadster Builders Club gets up and running.

Just my thoughts, interested to hear your thoughts.

Cheers Ginge

great idea Ginge

BUT

Have we decided on a Club name yet?

I,m working in the background regarding this club, ( amongst lots of steel )

I suppose it wouldn,t be a massive problem if at a later date the final "Name" was changed ( would like to see the single seater mentioned if poss)
but it would be great to have a banner of some degree for next weekend...

How about the Haynes Self Build Club

Locost,
Roadster,
Buggy,
Single Seater,

Wider Audience..

TT

Andy,

Ref the name I like TT’s idea of, ‘Haynes Self Build Club’, which would of course make us the HSBC.

The banner is really only for this weekend and it will be quite small and hopefully inexpensive.

My thinking was really to make us stand out from the rest on the block.

TT,

I like that name, it rolls better than ‘Haynes Roadster Builders Club’ and as I mentioned it makes us the HSBC.

Cheers Ginge

Ginge / TT

I too like the name TT has suggested, as TT says " a wider audience" plus there are books that covers the vehicles TT has mentioned....& also if any further designs are brought out in the future it would cover those too

If poss Ginge ( subject to cost) , I,d suggest you get a banner for next week, & we,ll all chat about the forming of the club over the weekend.

cheers guys for your input

cheers

If we are using the Haynes name how about some sponsorship?? Not said entirely toungue in cheek. Could help pay for website etc.

Hi Ginge
yes there is a lady amongst you builders...I like your idea of a banner, we should attract as much attention as possible...
I am sure I will meet most of you all at Stoneleigh...I am counting the days to the weekend as I have heard nothing but great things from this event...let the fun begin..

Cheers Anja

Just my thought.
Not that its worth a lot tonight, defo had a few too many shererts....


As it's only for the weekend, and we havent really decided on a name yet.
Why not promote the forum.
And have a banner with
Haynes Roadster Forum...
Just a thought, defo be a bit different.
