Totally agree with Jaime.

Let's carry on being a law unto ourselves

Thinking about it , i actually agree too. Perhaps we should have an annual met , with tickets prices just to cover overheads of hiring domewhere?

Up til now, we have always just used a campsite, again, no overheads - just pay for your pitch.  See Meetings section for meetings, trying to organise one on the Welsh border for late August at the moment.  If you can make it, give it a go.  If you really can't stand camping, see if you can get a cheap B&B for the night?

I agree with the 'keep it simple' philosophy - can't see what being a 'club' (whatever that means, apart from the overheads that TB mentioned) would add :-/

The obvious tangible benefit is TC - but that is available cheaply through other sources anyway.

I'm sure maintaining the forum takes a significant amount of time and kit on the IT side, but a 'club' is only going to add to that.  Will also inevitably lead to a multi tier structure - comittee/paid members/freeloadersnon paid members - and I don't think anyone wants that.

Just my 2p, and from a relative newbie, so I'll shut up!

Everyone equal here, and I think that works well.  'Despite' being a relative newcomer, does that make your views any less important than older members such as myself? Of course not.

I think this forum should stay as it is, its fine the way it is and we should all be grateful for the people who started this site as this is the only Omega's forum dedicated to the much loved car. I have been a member of VXSCC and the other vauxhall site and this forum seems to be the far better of the three. So my question is Why mess about with what you have got when what you have got needs no meesing about with. Why try to change to a club we all have our own knowledge of these cars, meetings are posted in the correct thread and if there is a big members meet then whats the problem in setting up your tent and getting to know everyone that turns up.

Thats my view any way and I am sticking to it SO THERE!!!
