Another referendum on the horizon ?in/out or independent??

Kennine, as a past Chairman of the Central Region and having organised such events for nine years, it isn't HQ that decide when and were these events are. We as a Region had to decide what we wanted to organise and put a budget proposal forward to the Club. These were considered, discussed and modified. If the Scottish Division hasn't organised an event then I would suggest your grievance is with them and would suggest you contact them direct instead of slagging off people via this forum.

Perhaps you could even volunteer your services as a non-affiliated member or are you a true keyboard warrior?

I also was wondering why there was nothing apart from the AGM. I expect it to be formal business and would look forward to something else being available.  Maybe that was a stand at the recent show though?

Write your comments here. There is no need for personal insults. Nor should you be insulting the scottish Division.   A great example of a typical keyboard warrior. Try and be friendly and understand that others are entitled to an opinion.

Kennine I explained exactly the same thing to you last year (and quite possibly the year before too) yet you still come back with the same thing again, Dave is not insulting anyone in his post and we are all trying to be friendly in explaining to those who do not know how these things are organised. I'm fairly certain it was due to our discussion about this in a previous year that did lead to the Scottish Division discussing holding an event like a QT or MtM, does anyone from that neck of the woods know if it went ahead? I have a feeling the fact that Scotland is soooo large an area was a contributing factor as not enough scottish members were willing to travel from all over to attend a short meeting.

Write your comments here...Indeed Navagateur, as customers of the CC leisure industry, We in Scotland should have equity with the rest of the UK. We pay our fees, buy their insurance and breakdown cover enjoy their sites and CL' s.  We dont want special treatment, just equity. 

Very few CC customers care about the CC staff admin structure and who does what.  Its all the CC as far as we are concerned. We just want to be treated equally no matter where in the UK we live. 

Dont know if you attended the only MtM at Strathclyde park a few years ago but it was a great success. We have never had the chance to repeat the event.

K,

once again you are ignoring the fact that all of these events are not organised by CC staff but by committed volunteers. The events take a lot of time and effort by those volunteers. Given the area that the SCC cover the effort needed is multiplied. All Divisions and Regions rely on volunteers so as I said previously if you want an event locally volunteer to help organise and run it I'm sure you will be welcomed with open arms. Knowing a lot of the SCC committee they'll probably throw in the odd dram.

Sadly the MtM at Strathclyde was during a foreign holiday and I did not attend. Scotland in The Caravan Club is not a Region but a Division so I, as humble member, expect that to mean a degree of H.O. organisational input. In view of the distances I wonder if a gathering of members that included a temporary site might assist people to attend. While Strathclyde is well placed for central belt it is nowhere near half way up our country - though in walking distance for me!

Nav. yes Scotland is called a Division rather than a Region that is because it is a National distinction rather then a Regional one. Even so all events organised by these Regions and Divisions are just that...organised by them not HO. As well as the annual AGMs which each Centre, Region and Division all have there are seperate Nationals for England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. so Scotland has an AGM for each individual area and an over all Divisional one AND a Scottish National which is a much more social event and longer too. All these are open to all members (not even just scottish ones either). The Scottish National moves around and is hosted by a different area each year.

Oops of course only scottish members can speak & vote at the AGMs, I meant the Scottish National is open to all Club members, I have been to one myself and very enjoyable it was too and there was a preNational and a follow-on so it makes a really good holiday
