strange you have extra posts Joel, when i might have expected you to have fewer, if you had blocked anyone? afaik, i am not sure if you can block others from seeing your own posts? but that would mean Gary and I were having our views restricted as i see same #numbers as him. might be worth you PM’ing us the list of posters in order or a screenshot, to see where the discrepancies are?

i often end up with as my “injury” when i get those accident claim calls, when i have some spare time.

thread closed by request of Chris.

if someone has stolen from you, they are just scum, and not the sort of person we want as a club or forum member. have you contacted them to encourage them to pay up or return your part, if you know who they are? if you want any of the committee to be involved, please let me, Gary, Richard or Lee know and we will see what we can do. the fact they bought via ebay and slagged the forum off suggests someone who may not be a current member and has probably not been in touch via this thread? but if they are current, thats shameful!

great words Chris. Always a pleasure to meet up with you :thumbup1: Looking forward to the next ones.

i was wondering the same thing :lol:

Interesting thread. Lots of good ideas, some new ideas, and some suggestions which we have already tried previously or are already in place. It is great to see that members still have the enthusiasm for the club, but the only way we it will work is with a concerted effort from the many not just the few. Let's use this as a turning point, and show ourselves we all have the commitment. :thumbup1:

This is the thread Chris. I will sign you up. 1. Craig 2. kgonzokia 3. BedZee Man

ah, the "Latest Posts" link in the tool bar which had "unread", "memberlist", "messages" etc, underenath the main "home", "forum", etc toolbar? that still shows for me, so assume it is a user selected feature. will have a look

there is a little arrow button on the right hand side which hides/shows that content bar on the front page, has it been set to hide?

nice one Steve. look forward to seeing the pics of club Z's attending :)

you could create a google drive space and make it open to everyone. let me see if i can still get into mine, and i will create a folder for you which we can link to. here you go, stick them all here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HNkkY3NTYk9GMYrp877-2cInDh4MaSLD?usp=sharing

not sure what we will have Chris. its a weekend camping event, but i dont think any of us will be camping? so we probably need to agree on and pick a day, likely sunday, as the “public” day?

really good day, despite best efforts of the weather. saw a lot more of the museum and house than i was expecting, so no loss of interesting things to see either. well done to everyone that made it :thumbup1: zedded or zedless

3 of us at Tesco, stiff upper lip and all that, where is everybody? :lol: lots of other clubs have a good showing :thumbup1:

if you have printed the club stand page then they should direct you to park

awesome job there Pete looking great

i'll still be coming and bringing mine, because, well, that's the whole point of the show isn't it? :cool3:

nice one Chris. best of luck! Proceed as if success is inevitable

looking for one of these, if anyone has one they might be able to bring to Beaulieu? I think the driver side might also be a bit beaten up, but the passenger side one keeps dropping and dragging, as shown on the pic.

Lots of good points raised by all, so i can only echo those that i also think are important. Doing your own thing part time while you have a full time job means sacrificing evenings and weekends. This is good, where it helps to identify if you will get enough work, build a reputation, etc. However, it means you have no time for yourself except where you purposefully make it happen. You must make sure you keep some to yourself, and have a clear idea of how long you think you want to do that to see if it will work out. The big decision will come when you feel you have enough to sustain a full time week on your own. This can be tough when you try to convert regular customers over from evenings/weekends availability to weekday availability. Don't be tempted to continue weekdays, evenings and weekends indefinitely. It was a means to an end to make the break, but you need to recover your free time back at some point. Keep good records and find a good accountant. Always regularly compare your "sole trader" with "limited company" accounting liabilities, to identify the best time to consider swapping. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but mostly depends on how much you earn and how much you spend. I was sole trader then limited company for about 12 years, before moving back to full time employment 5 years ago (was a good offer ;-) ) and there are big advantages. Although, it is very easy to get trapped into a "not working, not earning" frame of mind/trap and feel a little resentful of taking holidays and time out, but they are a MUST, and what you are working for. Best of luck!

looks like a big clash of events for next year, if Simply Japanese and ToTB are on at the same time, and Silverstone Classic is possibly going to be a week later next year which puts in into the same weekend. The Classic is where the ZClub are proposing to join all clubs up for the multi anniversary.

oh dear :(

ok, if we can find 1 other, we can go thirds mate. i may have to sell some body parts though, as my Z is not quite there...

get on it Gary, bargain for a man of your means :)
