Been modding forums for 10 years. Never had a situation quite like this.

Can the offending posts be removed TT?
I think I speak for 99.9% of the regulars on here when I say it's lowering the integrity of the forum and off-putting to new members.
I only joined the forum a couple of months ago, and without the friendliness and helpfulness of you guys, I don't know if I'd have continued coming on, and almost certainly wouldn't have invested my hard earned cash on a chassis.
I wouldn't like to think potential new builders would be put off by one persons opinions.
All the guys involved in the setting up of the owners club deserve support and recognition, not accused of profiteering and their integrity questioned.

I think it should now be safe to put those posts behind us and move forwards. Keith (Mighty Mouth) has been developing a style for the new club website and I'm sure Handy is beavering away to get technical and legal stuff sorted like registering with the data protection commissioner etc. None of this is going to happen overnight and as I recall Handy did suggest that we give a bit of time so that forum members who couldn't be at Stoneleigh could give their input. Perhaps an update of progress if there is any?

One point that I don't recall being discussed was the opening of a bank account, I know we discussed signatories but I don't recall anything about which bank to go with. On this point might I suggest we try the Co-op? I have my business bank account with the Co-op and apart from their online banking system being flaky they're pretty good. Online banking won't be an issue as I believe Ash pointed out that clubs will not be given this facility anyway. Co-op pay interest on my business current account too so they might be worth looking at, just a suggestion.

I can't believe what I have just read in this thread:mad:
This forum is by far the best I have ever come across, the knowledge, helpfulness and humour of the people here is exceptional. My build would be nowhere near where it is without the enormous amount of help and encouragement I have had from many members on here. To see some of those members being berated by somebody is, quite frankly, upsetting.
For what it is worth I believe a club would be a great idea, I will certainly be running a discount scheme for all members, I am sure the club will be of tremendous value to builders and drivers of completed cars alike. I have never met Andy but I have dealt with him on many occasions, had I been at Stoneleigh I am sure he would have had my vote.
Enough said.

Davey,

As you say lets move on.

I am going to spend the rest of the week looking into a bank account for the club any information from you guys that have run clubs before will be really helpful.

Davey your thoughts have been noted and are as always very helpful.

Keith if you are reading this is there any chance you could send me (via email gingeatwell@virginmedia.com ) the logo you have done for the HSCC in the top left of the screen shots of the HSCC web page. Ideally in it’s separate components, ie.
The Haynes colours,
Laurel wreath
Chassis
HSCC, letters.

It is just I want to play around with it to make it good for T-Shirts/Polo shirts, as black doesn’t stand out well on a dark blue or green polo shirt!

Moving on.

Cheers Ginge

One reason I like the Co-Op bank that I forgot to mention earlier is they are an ethical bank. That is to say they only invest in ethical products.

Here's a link to their website: http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/se...Sweb/Page/Bank

The archery club i belong to uses Alliance & Leicester Commercial, we have had no problems with them over the years and they also give interest on the account.

Terry,

I will give them a bell in the morning thanks.

Cheers Ginge

Have you got Photoshop? If so I can send the layered image. Otherwise what format would you like it in. The problem is that it is quite low resolution so will not be great for T-shirts etc.

Keith,

Photoshop CS2 is my preferred weapon of choice, I am a qualified photographer I’ll have you know,:D so a PSD would be fantastic thanks, I should be able to make it high res.

Thank you very much,

Ginge
