RSOC National day

[thedman]

Here is my tuppence worth.

First heard about yesterday morning from our landlady at our hotel, who had the contractors/FIA reps etc staying with her.

They said to her that as of yesterday morning, everything after the 15th of September had been cancelled at Donno. (She is going to be out of pocket in the thousands with cancelled events and bookings).

Having been a regular at AGM's over the years, Nat Day can make or break the club.

I personally have managed to re-arrange our hotel booking but........

I have a family wedding in the North of Scotland on the Friday and have hired a people carrier to take family members. I will have to drop them all off on the Saturday and return the hire car. Then get ready to travel the 4-5 hour drive to Donno from Glasgow.

We normally stay on the Sunday night and travel home Monday as a group, but the other half is going on Jury Duty on the Monday morning.

I feel really sorry for the people who are not are so fortunate as me as with the date (with a little bit of effort).

But at the end of the day, the paying public and members, are coming to see your cars and theirs.

Don't be a Martyr for something that is out of the clubs hands!

from what i am reading and people who i have spoke to it would be madness to continue and hold the event on the 13th as with very little knowledge of the date via magezine and advertising realy no one would know its been moved also a very large amount of car owners who are now NOT going to attend it would be a very poor turn out and could put people off from attending in the future as they might think that the standard of cars on display would be not as good as in previous years and could be bad for rsoc for years to come also many people travel from scotland ireland wales and europe to attend this event and book up well in advance for good deals and this would stop them from traveling best option would be a total cancell to avoid any more damage and aim for next year and even think about a total date change to maybe suit through school holidays and weather as we know in the past about the rain in september and have a safer bet in late july early august when the sun is out and lighter nights but have lost two flights booked to ema myself and no refund on hotel booking was coming with around 8 people who are all now not going to bother what you think ?

....,,,,

some good points, but people have even complained in the past, having the event during the school holidays is wrong, as it coinsided with holiday plans,
no win situation i think

What a shame,moving the venue would of been the best bet.

We are at speed trails on the 12th

At this point were "on the wall" to trade or not.

Costs us £800 to do the show,so can't gamble losing out

Would like to support the rs club,

Stamford Hall would of been best bet,let the track bouys have there own day...

Stanford hall is a No Go as is virtually everywhere else.........

Cancel it then.

And book stamford Hall for next year.

Both the fields there are more than enough space nowadays,

Don't use donnington again....

I do realise its not the rs owners club at fault

The show IS going ahead on the 13th as planned. We can make it a success if we all pull together. I know it's not the best of situations but we as a club are committed to this show and are determined to make it a success with your help.

its not just as simple as that , ok if you live down south , but think of the bigger picture , traders other commitments to that date 13th and lack of media coverage it spells disaster to me could cost the rsoc thousands in lost revenue and take into consideration the weather if it turns wet like this month

[petrolhead]

Thats fine if you have no commitments!

I have planned my year around national day as have many others!!

Its off for me unfortunatley as i can not change.

Only got the thought of the Lakes tour to get me through the winter! Come on "OGGY" start the Ticker!!

Anger should be directed at Donnington not the committie i understand its a tough call!
Where should it be next year!
