sleepy straven:
I was also a member but due to working night shift I was unable to attend the driving days. Although I was still interested in the club magazine and I viewed a few RTV events but the same thing happened, no-one would speak to you. When the annual membership came round they usally sent out a reminder then that stopped and your membership lapsed. I took it that they didn't want you in the club as you did not attend any events.

Well I'm afraid as far as I am concerned it is true Henry - a real shame too
I know people like Sandy work really hard on the green road run and Grant & co on the competition side
Bottom line for me was they had a fantastic opportunity to boost the interest/membership with over 20,000 people attending over the weekend
Their marquee looked good, with flyers and leaflets too
I stood with my son reading a leaflet for 5 mins, while catching a few eyes of the SLROC members - not one took the opportunity to come and chat
Can I also add I was wearing a Land Rover baseball cap and mud club polo shirt at the time !
If that's not enough of a clue that I have an interest in Land Rovers then what is !
Maybe I just smell !     :lol:
As sleepy straven says they don't really go out of their way to talk to you at events either - its a blooming shame and something they should redress quickly - every club needs fresh blood
I don't think the long term problems with their website helped either mind you

That is a real shame - I think you dropped enough hints to be embraced.

As I say going out of your way to speak to people outside your own comfort zone, doesn't come naturally to some people, but it is a real pity to go to all that effort and not to really embrace anyone who shows an interest.  Its also sometimes difficult to judge when to approach or be approached, but it sounds like you were definitely worth a punt!

I hope that I am always approachable or do the approaching when appropriate when I am manning stands for the BORC, Hillrallies or BajaGB.

Web sites are always hard because they take alot of effort - but a good web presence is vital these days.  Another reason why they need new blood.  

Anyone mind if I draw their committee's attention to this thread?
