FRP Talk with Peter Beattie @ Boreham

[Smudge]

Hey guys, I have penciled in a date for a talk on the history and development of the FRP at the old Ford Motorsport site at Boreham.

Head over to rpoc and confirm your attendance.

Thanks

That's a cheeky little post... why not collate a list of names and information to attend here for those not on RPOC?

begging for business

Im with dal, why doesnt he just post a thread asking for names like usually happens with FRP events??? Would certainly bring more people to such events as to be frank the RPOC hasnt the highest membership or a forum as active as here.

RPOC. hmm I tried to join about a year ago and was told that they were taking no new members...so gave up...

^ this (although I tried again last night and it worked this time - but couldn't find anything about this event as you're limited to a small section of the forum as a newbie)

I think the people who run the forum have changed (for the better), since the time of "no new members"

yes, it has been re-vitilised :grin:

haha

They wont let me have full membership, cos I'm a "trouble maker" :lol:

 

[Dal]

The fact that they want you over to RPOC to hand out the information rather than here says a lot.

:roll:

 

[Smudge]

The reason is, the site is now owned by Essex Police and they will only let us use it if we are a recognised club, so the owners club suited them nicely. Because if that if it open to owners club members hence the post.

As we own rare cars is it not worth while to all be members of the owners club? Adds value to the cars also.

RARE CAR FRIENDS :thumbs: OOOOOOOH

 

[Dal]

I think it best if I don't say anything else on the matter.

Good luck with the talk k:

[Smudge]

I feel I must ask, what is the hostility towards the subject?

On all the forums I have ever been a member of I have never seen a reaction/backlash like that.

It's not your fault, Smudgey - it's just that many of us have previously tried to sign up to RPOC and not had our accounts activated or whatever - the other issue is that we're all about projects and modification here, and the RPOC lot are generally purists and get annoyed at the mere mention of anything non-standard.

I'm sure there are a good few of us who would be very interested in this event, it's just historically been a pain in the arse getting on that site. Maybe you weren't aware, because you're already a fully-fledged member and can roam freely about the forum, that we can't actually see the details of this event. New signups only have access to a very limited portion of the site until their login is manually upgraded by an administrator.

That's why it was suggested you just post the details here.

 

[evilrob]

Smudgey - you may or may not be aware that in order to view details of the event, you have to hand over a minimum of £16 according to Lisa. I doubt it would go down very well to part with £16 and then find out you can't attend because the date clashes with some other commitment.
