The club has lost its community feel I think and we need to regroup. Going back over the previous agm minutes there is a lot of talk but no actions.
Here,Here!
I've been thinking about coming at the weekend but don't think I can make it. I feel I've a few things to say but probably don't deserve a freebie as I've been off line for a long time.
IMO the club has lost something an needs a kick up the arse, but at the same time the Aircooled VW scene has lost something. Is it the lack of cars, move to H2O vans, the use of Facebook instead of forums?? It's all kicking off with the drag day guys in the North, they seem to have a growing community.
This year, Eilish was pregnant so I was busy with other stuff an it was easy to walk away. For me things have gone dull, I don't mind saying it an getting abuse but obviously I'm not the only one feeling this because old faces have disappeared too.
I used to love the monthly Dublin meet but Brian moved west, Ross to Nass, Alice moved, others like KNK had other stuff on an it ended up with just a few from Wicklow an Kildare meeting in the middle. I pulled the pin an stopped an eventually started our own meet for 5/6 of us in Wicklow. After a year this led to us having our first run yesterday, which was all very last minute, organised in a week.
Personally I think Eircooled should be running its own show an let the other events stand alone (as they are well capable of) and support them by promoting attendance.
Facebook, love it or loath it, it's taken over from Forums. The club needs to use its page, in fact start a public group to promote the forum an events.
