RSOC National Day & Rally Sport Escorts

[alancdavis]

They pay you £100 to show your bike ,,,WOW thats a good deal,,,, Lot of shows I go to its normally free entry if you are willing to show your car .I consider this to be a good incentive as the gate price to attend a lot of shows has gone OTT,,Now days its a profit making business and not a show for the fans

Nail and head

The rs owners club hasn't even recognised nor acknowledged this site, seriesoneturbo.co.uk or escortcosworth.com all year to the point where if you post anything regarding those sites on the Rsoc site your post gets removed or you get banned, yet two weeks before national day there's an invite with discounts to attend

Some of the committee should have listened to their members instead of ignorning their opinions...

Thats my thoughts too.

The rsoc dont like these 'other' sites as they are taking members away from the rsoc however its not the sites driving people away its the rsoc club.

I am good Mickey, thankyou.

A RSE stand at ND sounds a good idea especially now the registers parking as gone now that only leaves RS general parking for me as I'm not in a local group so for the first time in over 15 years I will not be at ND, going to a classic car show elsewhere.
Hope the RSE stand can be sorted for next year (with a little more notice) and I will be on it.

Anyone camping at national day?

It was with much surprise when The RSOC approached me on Wednesday to offer a Visiting Stand at National Day.

In all the years RSE has been around I have never once contemplated an RSE Stand at ND and have always prefered that you all supported your local group, get on track, concours or go on your respective Registrars Stand.

This offer now gives the option for ANY MKI or MKII Escort to be part of a stand at ND and not have to park in public car park or attend ND in their daily smoker.

Next year should we get a similar offer then with a bit more notice many may wish to attend

Must be short of Stands !

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Well sadly it appears some within The RSOC "committee or moderator" team DO NOT agree with RSE being offered a stand at National Day (please remember the club approached me in the first place to have the stand ??)

I started a thread on RSOC FB page promoting National Day and included a link to this thread offering ALL MKI and MKII Escort owners the opportunity to display their car on the RSE stand.

Well guess what ? - It got deleted !!

I can only thank Mickey Stewart for trying to build bridges via this forum to encourage you all to get your cars out from under their dust covers and on display at National Day but maybe some within The RSOC hadnt read the memo allowing us to have a stand.

Ah well maybe next year

Dave, as I messaged you, I asked the question why this was offered to RSE when as a registrar we weren't permitted to have our registrars stands to facilitate the very same cars. It seems my question has resulted in this, for which I apologise. Hope you understand.

The RSOC approached me - I have NEVER asked for a ND stand before and never had any intention to as I always tried to encourage people to support their local group, track, concours or (previously) a registrars stand.

The RSE stand was for RS, Harrier, Sport, Estate, Hearse, Campers, more door, Pick-ups etc etc in fact ANYTHING MKI or MKII Escort !

I just feel now that I was being set up for a fall but thankfully it was not allowed to go on too far and I personally will not be letting anyone down.

Thanks Dave much appreciated.

It is a shame and frustrating at the same time as it would be great to have other car clubs involved in ND, not something now that should be given up on that's for sure, more work is needed, let's see what can be done for next year.

Something also to look at is getting the registrars stands or more involved with there cars, I am more than happy to put this to the committee for next year, there is some very highly respected registrars in the club and would be a shame not to have there input.

Thanks

Another ****ing shambles by the RSOC

"One day all shows will be like this"

Let's hope not.......

[i-am-the-peel]

Hahahaha what a complete and utter mess, it just goes to show the complete lack of communication, cohesion and direction the club has just now.

how on earth does the club expect to attract other car clubs to ND with the blinkered outlook it has...

[bigjohnie]

why anyone would have anything to do with this lot is beyond me after all the crap thats went on

[LOUIE]

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha- the rsoc proves yet again how rediculous its become

[wozzy]

I think that it may be best to the RSOC from having anything on this forum.
Let them carry on killing the club on their own forum, and not start with the childish 'taking my ball in' attitude on here, because they don't like what they hear.

Keep the RSOC on the RSOC

DaveBDA,
in my view you do not have to apologise.
As a (long serving) registrar you have every right to ask questions to the RSOC's top table about inviting RSE-members when you aren't allowed a stand for "your" cars.
Am sorry to read that those same few people who run the club and in their wisdom banned me and revoked my membership 2 years ago are still making a big mess of it all today.
