Roadster Owners Club

Hello all,

I totally understand what gingea1pom is saying, I should keep my nose out!

However, if you read my original post, hopefully, you will realize that I am providing an update on the legalities of forming a club, with the possibility / intention of using the "Haynes" name within the domain name.

Admittedly, each request is considered on it's own merits, as indeed my request was dealt with.

I am merely pointing out that the use of the "Haynes" name must be approved by "Haynes" themselves.

I apologise, if I have jumped the gun, but as no confirmation of the new club name has appeared on this forum, I assumed that, so far "no progress" has been attempted or made.

I am only trying to provide info.

DAVID

David,

I understand where you are coming from, but there are people who have some clout with Haynes that are in talks with them.

If they allow us to call the club the Haynes Sports Car Club we could possibly use the domain name HSCC.

Please don’t now go and ask Haynes if you can call a club the Haynes Sports Car Club!

Please let those that are working behind the scenes do their work.

Enough said?

hello gingea1pom and all,

Yes, thank you for your response.

My intention was to inform, about the legality issue, which I have done.

Unfortunately, hscc.com is already owned and seems to be an eastern oriental website.

This is what I was trying to get at, get a domain name and permissions etc.

This info not only applies to the new "Club" but also to anyone that intends to create a website of their own build, mentioning a trademark, such as Haynes.

Trademarks and copyright or serious matters to be considered.

I was sad when I sold my Roadster but always wanted to remain loyal to the forum (and friends from it). I even offered to assist the new club as a vehicle registrar - linking in with the engraved build plaques I purchased.
However, reading posts like the above make me think perhaps it's time to move on?
The forum attack last year was bad enough - especially all the crap on LCB before it happened. I just now get that bad feeling again that someone seems to want to come along and spoil things.
G'day and good luck all!

I for one just want to voice my support for the comittee members (many whom I met at Stoneleigh). Although I couldn't stay for the meeting in the evening, I felt very comfortable that all who attended had the clubs best interest at heart and showed a real commitment to doing things the right way. I think the certain posts could undermine the good work being carried out by the elected committe and if a forum member has genuine concerns about anything then a PM would be preferable in the first instance, it's just common courtesy in my opinion. Keep up the good work guys.
