Think it starts at about 10am.

Very sweet. Have a soft spot for GS dogs. :)

Clarkey - that's a different list, mate....

Address for SE Nissan / NissTech : Unit 9 Wycke Hill Business Park Maldon Essex CM9 6UZ Old Address:- Unit 2 , Station Road ,Maldon ,Essex CM9 4LQ Tel: 01621 858856 Fax: 01621 841316

Number 36, according to Craig's member list. :)

John-Boy - you are number 66. :)

TT Tim - you were number 60, according to the list.... I'll get the complete list updated and then post up the corresponding number, so you all know your membership IDs.

Cheers - will post one out today! :)

Mac - to whom do we make the cheques payable? Is it to yourself or directly to SE / NewName?

I'll repeat once again.... ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCASION that was the way it was made and announced, yes. Due to time constraints et al. However, it's obvious that this isn't a method that is going to be taken lightly. IT SHOULD NOT happen again as we will be more organised in future. If, on the off chance it does, we will make more of an effort to post it in Club News & Events forum, to make sure that people are aware. Mac - OK, will take BigRoy's name off the list. Thanks. :)

Found a cheque on the doorstep when I got home this evening from Mr R Booth - BigRoy is this you?

On the off chance it happens again, we'll cross that bridge when it happens. It was a decision made and 3000 views hadn't illicted a murmur of complaint but I wish to god I'd never agreed to help out with TRAX now. :rolleyes:

No, I agree, it's not. But then what did you expect? Everything about the payment for Trax was written many times in red letters on the list of people who wanted tickets. It was discussed with the other moderators and it was agreed that shortfall would be taken out of club funds. Apologies to those people who didn't get beyond page 3 of the TRAX thread in advance due to your disinterest... :rolleyes: Does make me wonder why bother reading it so far after the event but anyway..... TRAX was a CLUB event organised by the CLUB for the CLUB. Everything was above board. THREE THOUSAND views that thread had including by some of the more vocal members on this board and not one complaint. Three weeks after the event, someone suddenly complains and all hell breaks loose. Had I paid for the tickets and then, when people didn't pay, suddenly announce that I was taking the shortfall from the board, I could see the annoyance and irritation. However, the fact was mentioned many times on the thread. I have someone on this board owing me £450 from pieces that he took from my old car back in July. This is the first time ANY mention of that has been made here. Why? Because it's NOTHING to do with the board. WE will sort it out between ourselves. However, in this instance people have promised to pay for a CLUB event and were given ample warning what would happen if they did not. I have even put up this sticky thread so that people could see who has made it come to this. It was all out in the open - nothing was hidden. Agreed. In future events will be organised with ample time to collect payment from people IN ADVANCE. Unfortunately given the time restrictions on this particular event (and I feel the need to emphasise that as certain people seem to be obsessing on the rumour that this might be the case for each and every future event), ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCASION it was felt that it would be more beneficial for the club (or in this case, me) to pay for the tickets and be paid back. In future, no money = no ticket.

Maybe... :) Maybe I want to win the award for the most maybes in any one post... :p

Maybe, Andy. Maybe I'd just had a bad day at work and this was one thing too many. Maybe I'm tired at the constant whinging that goes on in this forum everytime anyone tries to change anything in the hopes of improving it. Maybe I'm a little fed up of your jibes especially when in this instance I was simply helping the club go to a Club event. Maybe my sense of humour deserts me everytime I log onto this board. Hence why I haven't really been about a lot recently. Maybe next time I won't pick up the gauntlet and you can all pay £17 on the door, least then I don't have the hassle of getting people to pay me back. (Yes, Roy - I know yours is in the post! ;)) Who knows?

Yes, I don't see why not.... :)

=sigh= I do wonder why I even bother sometimes...

In future it will be a pay up before you get the ticket scenario. However, in this particular instance, there was not enough time. Therefore it was sorted out as best as possible in the time permitting. That meant that I paid for the tickets personally. It has to be said that at the time I was not willing to do this for this very reason. I had a couple of conversations with other mods and it was either going to be my or their credit cards due to the time constraints. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, I'm sure you'll agree. Therefore, upshot was, I paid for the tickets acting on good faith. However, that which I predicted has come true and people have not paid for their tickets. As stated I will not pay for other people, therefore it was agreed with the other moderators that in this instance, any shortfall will be deducted from the club funds. Everyone here can see the thread which states who has not paid. If you're really up in arms about me re-couping the money that I've already paid out, have a go at them for requesting a ticket and then not paying for it.

What's the cost of them now?

Exactly - the club funds are NOT there to cover the bad money management of members. However, in this particular instance, the money came from my personal credit card and I'm sorry, I'm not going to fund track days / days out personally. Therefore I gave everyone enough warning that they would be expected to pay for their tickets and that if they didn't want to attend they should remove their name from the list or the club will be penalised for their bad organisation. This was a decision made with the other mods and not just something I came up with on my own. Had you funded Trax personally you would expect to be paid back, would you not? I can either gather the funds from the people who promised to pay when they requested the tickets or from the club itself. Basically we are trying to get the members to not say they'll attend any meeting and then forcing the club to cough up for their tickets. That's not how we want it to work but as I said, there's no way I'm paying for 300ZX.CO.UK days out personally.

Yep! :)

PMSL - like it. :D Wonder if I could get one for the Zed...? BTW - shouldn't the funny little one on the right hand side be a mirror or something so we can check our lipstick? :D :D

D'oh, wrong forum..... :rolleyes:

Chq would probably be easiest at the moment, then I have a "paper" copy against which I can keep accounts so that when the club's account is finally working, I know exactly how much to transfer across. Thanks. :)

=nods= That's pretty much what Iain said too. :) The old tailgate is in immacjulate condition, so might well just swap it over, unless I find a decent aftermarket spoiler. Cheers. :)
