I think that the problem with Mondello is that people have had a bad experience in previous years and you can't really expect them to turn up again until they hear that things have got sorted. Maybe next year will see a few more members but I don't see it as any reflection on the club that people who had a bad experience before stayed away this time.
A few people have mentioned that there seems to be a certain lack of 'go' in the club at the moment. It should be obvious to everyone that there are a few people in the club who do a lot and a lot of people who do less (I'm guilty as charged in the latter group). That's an internal club matter and a far bigger and a much more important issue than Mondello.

Don't want to go hijacking the thread but there was a good Eircooled contingent at the Limerick show a few weeks ago. The majority of aircooled prizes that day were won by Eircooled members.
you're more than welcome to join us at the Limerick Show near UL, Martin Murray's show in Monard, Vagdrivers in Fermoy, Millford Hospice show in Limerick, shows in Charleville, Tipperary Show Grounds, etc, etc... don't just assume that because there is a lack of attendance at one show in Dublin that we're making shite all effort in the rest of the country...
None of those events are organised by eircooled. I do take your point though, and in fairness you're right, I haven't been to those shows, so I'm as much to blame as anybody else. I'm using the Mondello show as an example, and one club member went to the bother of getting free tickets for eircooled members, and I know they're disappointed about the lack of interest. It would have been a perfect opportunity for people to give the show another chance. I don't want to sound like I'm preaching, but I'd love to see some more eircooled events organised and more people getting behind more shows. It'd be nice to have more weekend shows instead of one day things too.
i went to the mondello show once,best car show ever historic motor racing was brilliant,
static car shows are not really for me, i just look foward to the end when people are driving home.
Mondello and Kildare are amazing

Just my 2c as a club we should try meet up and go to any meets/ events/ bbq's / cuppa t's/brekie runs that we can and not necessarily worry bout who runs them .I know two of the most prolific Vw members we have run the Limerick show ,Martin Murray a savour to all runs the Tipp show ,another Wayne McCarthy runs a show in Cork and Type2 Ireland hold super events where people the length and breath of the country turn up ,also there's alot of aircooled peeps not online ,we need to unite not bitch and moan ,give encouragement not hinder ,then we may see a change of mood in the club .
There's alot needs to be said in this club -maybe a special thread set up , if it keeps going like this the AGM will be too little too late to help ,
Rant over , apologises for the hijack .

Had a good think about this today after my rant I rather than talk about getting a dedicated thread going I just did ! go in and post a suggestion or that !
Oh! A full rally spec mini by the way!Couldn't shake him at all!
It's not really a full rally spec mini, more of a weekend warrior, but it is quick!
this would be the mini in question
Sorry it's not air cooled but it is old (1968)

Welcome along Macker, what brings you over here?
Have yet to see Kaz since his facelift. The last time was
Welcome along Macker. Thanks for the pm. I have to say, the footage you captured in the mini was class. I was delighted to see the all the action recorded. Thought I might just see an odd pic or two when searching Mr Google... I'm sure your son has got an early taste for the track. Great stuff... Definately a full rally spec mini, running race slicks, straight cut cam gear, lightened body, perspex windows, twin turbo....
Cheers

Macker. What a beautiful Mini you have! I'd like to hear the specs please? I can tell the engine size by your handle but all else is up in the air.
