glrnet Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 **UPDATE** I'm really pleased to be able to tell you that Wales will go ahead next year and will be organised by Mudman (Rob) who has generously agreed to take this on. He will be ably assisted by Harryjax, Mopedmark & Jetset. I hope you will give them all the support and encouragement you can as without them Wales would almost certainly not happened in 2015. Keep an eye on this section for further announcements. Thanks Ladies & Gentlemen. The current organisers of our annual Wales meet have regretfully decided to pass the baton on after being collectively involved for more than 4 years now. It's time for someone else to step up. Simply put, there won't be a Wales meet next year in the same format unless at least 2 or 3 people decide to get seriously involved. A list of things to consider before volunteering are :- Route planning (we have historical routes but at least one visit to Wales beforehand is recommended) Route organisation at the weekend (4 groups of 10 cars require 4 group leaders) Meal organisation Saturday Evening & Sunday Lunch including voucher distribution and money collection. Hotel room bookings via Hotel and co-ordinated on the forum (hotel is provisionally booked) Charity Raffle, source prizes from traders, run raffle on the day and on the forum beforehand Trader involvement during the weekend Show & Shine on Saturday including sourcing prizes Generally pull your hair out for at least 4 months or so The alternative is to revert to a much more basic event as follows:- There is no raffle There are no routes or groups, everyone does their own thing There is no show and shine It's purely a social event with a number of meet up points people can or may not want to meet at at specified times. Or you can put your own spin on it (subject to Team approval) It goes without saying that all the knowledge and contacts that we have built up over the years will be made availble to whoever takes this on. Please do not voulunteer unless you are prepared to commit a considerable amount of time, effort and patience to this. Please apply only by PM to me. Thank you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Just to emphasise ladies and gents, that if people don't step forward and step forward soon it looks like Wales 2015 will not happen A number of people have generously offered to help and assist, which is great to see and very much appreciated. But without more volunteers it is just not going to happen, which will be a HUGE shame. Quoting the famous poster and finger pointing - Wales 2015 needs you.
