SAS Next Step?
Discussion
Folks,
I was looking a little earlier at the East Anglia forum. Don't worry - I'm not defecting
It's just that a number of complaints were raised. Anyway, I digress.
But I was quite taken with how they have arranged themselves as a social group - the PHEA - http://www.phea.co.uk/
Does anyone think it's worthwhile discussing an SAS equivalent? Or are we OK as we are?
K
Any excuse to start a new thread to catch up with that Northern lot

Having just read through a few of the EA threads it seems that it ran really well for a while, but recently some members have decided to organise some local meets which has upset a few people? I guess it would be like someone in Reading saying that there's a Reading only meet?
I kind of like the informality of things as they are here; regular ad-hoc evenings and hoons. But I'll go with the flow...
I guess a regular monthly meet somewhere for people who can't do the short-notice stuff would be a good idea? For example I know the New Inn at Heckfield has a huge car park, good food, real ale, a large area of the bar that can be reserved and they already welcome monthly/quarterly meets from other car enthusiast groups. And it's on the B3349!

Yeah - it's a tricky one.
I quite like the informality of what we have - the only downside being that I can rarely make said meets, due to other commitments.
Having the SAS calendar that we had the year before last worked for me; as I was able to work around it to make sure I attended them. Although I still missed some.
It was just a thought

Calender sounds the way to go. I think the SAS would lose its socialable form if we went down the other route. I quite like the informality of what we have - the only downside being that I can rarely make said meets, due to other commitments.

But that may be counterproductive where Urdu is concerned
Think we could meet in the middle somewhere ie have some fixed meets set out for the year plus a few extras thrown in when people want to organise hoons, beers etc. That way us who do a proper job can arrange in advance to finish early, etc with the others still being able to pop out to lunch at short notice!
Website would be a good idea, that way pics and video could be posted there and they are kept as a record rather than being lost down the forum list.

Personally i like things the way they are, although i remember the calendar and that seemed to work quite well - it was a sticky or a Wiki wasn't it?
So i vote for a calendar to be added to TV&S (because an external site just means someone has to maintain it and take ownership of it, whereas the way we have things here we all take part).
There are a few people who regularly suggest lunches, some others who suggest dinners, others again who organise hoons, and a few more who arrange things like the Ghost Walk. We all take part and we all put some effort in. I think it works.

I like things how they are too. The PHEA site is a nice idea but I don't think we need an equivalent.VerySideways said:

I like it now, but no harm in having a calendar as an event reminder I like things how they are, but a calendar would be handy, and a passworded area to hold fils and pics, I stopped after my first filw "educaschunal Films" as I was worried about unsolicited viewers.....
But could these not be acheived with a sticky wiki calend thingy, and robbies site, i'd ££ towards hosting....
