Thread: Summer ball???

    Summer ball???

    Shoot me down in flames but have we ever organised a summer type ball on here? Got me thinking the other night when I was messaged by an old work mate about organising another summer ball when restrictions got lifted. I know we’re spread across the country but given enough time and planning I’m sure something could be arranged relatively equidistant to all members. I know there’s a load of reasons not to but hey there could be enough reasons to go for it, a good chunk of cash to the fundraiser being one of them. What do you guys think....possible, worth investigating or just pie in the sky?

    Funnily enough I thought of this the other day; recall an attempt over a decade ago that came to nothing.

    What was the reason it never happened?

    Starting point was couldn’t agree location - a member had a connection at a London hotel to set it up but some started saying that was too far to travel...

    Yeh I thought about that but as been said many times before in part we’re mostly a good bunch. A lot of things get said in the heat of the moment which we wouldn’t say in real life, I’ve been guilty myself. If it gets leverage great if it fizzles out then it’s not meant to be.

    Written purely with tongue in cheek. I agree most on here are a good bunch, and the few I have met in real life have been perfect Gents.

    One small request... Can we please segregate parking? 911s on one side, MX5s on the other, we might need a smaller space for VW Up GTIs
