  1. Hi All Just a quick note to say A-Plan is taking on it's parent brand on 1st October. Nothing changes for you or me, it's the same great people and the same great service just a different logo above the door and on your paperwork... I guess I'll get a new shirt too 😅 As of 1st October A-Plan branding will be replaced with Howden branding 🥳 Say good bye to the big red A! 👋 Carlie @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman @John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison @Terry Everall - WSCC Competition Secretary @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator
  2. The following is an excerpt of the Committee meeting minutes that took place in November. ----------------------------------- At the recent meeting of the Committee it considered the role of the Club with regard to enabling members to obtain the best offers in kit-car related goods and services, especially via the “Boardroom”. The Committee was keen to act in the best interests of the members, but was mindful of both the danger of the Boardroom becoming a commercial “free for all”, and of maintaining a privileged position for Speed Series and Club sponsors. Following detailed discussions of various options the following was decided: a. The current ban on commercial advertising to be maintained except as modified below. b. The maintenance in the “Links” page of the main club web-site of a reasonably comprehensive list of suppliers of goods and services appropriate to the build and maintenance of kit-cars. A simple way to update links and request addition of links will be set up in due course. c. The creation of a new membership status (“Trade Member”) costing £120 per year d. The establishment in the Boardroom of a new Trade section in the Advertisement area, in which Trade Members might freely advertise appropriate goods and services. e. That both Sponsors and Trade Members should to be allowed to offer their services, where appropriate, in responses to Boardroom threads seeking technical or sourcing advice. f. That, in future, members wishing to organise “bulk buys” for the good of the membership must arrange for the chosen supplier to become a Trade Member and make the offer directly in the Trade section of the Advertisement area. g. That advertising by a member “on behalf of a friend” in the Members’ Advertisement section be discouraged except where the “friend” is another named member. All other such advertisements shall be moved or made to the (renamed) “Ebay links” section. It will be made clear that all adverts in this section are ”outside” of any control of WSCC. The Committee considered the status of “Forum Users”. Recognising that it was good to allow potential members to experience the offer available to members, but also the disruption which has been caused on the Boardroom by a handful of long term “Forum Users”. The committee does not want to be forced to go members only. it was decided that FUs should be limited to tenure of 30 days or 20 posts (whichever comes first) from join up. It was further decided that, during their “trial tenure” FU rights should be extended to enable them to reply to member advertisements, to post in the “Ebay Links” section, and to send and receive PMs. After this time they will have a choice of becoming a member or becoming read only. The Committee would also look at the feasibility of offering an online trial extension for 60 days for a fee of around £10. The written proposal from Mark Stanton to establish a facility for boardroom banners for Sponsors (and which could be additionally purchased by Trade Members) was approved subject to there being no “pop-up” advertisements. The Committee considered how best to support of Area Organizers. Scott undertook to send the AOs’ details to Paul so that he could write to them to begin dialogue on best practice transfer, etc. It was decided that the changes to the boardroom structure would be communicated to the AOs, and then to the boardroom prior to implementation. It was further decided that a new Committee post of “AO Representative” be established The Committee considered other aspects of Boardroom usage: Recognising the need for banter among members, but desirous of keeping the technical areas of the Boardroom on topic, the Committee decided to introduce a new Boardroom section (“Stuff and Nonsense”) for that purpose. The chat section would then be limited to on topic chat relating to WSCC. Moderators were requested to move frivolous threads posted in other sections to the new section, and to remove frivolous posts from serious threads in other areas where they threaten to “hijack” the thread. In order to “depersonalise” moderation decisions on the Boardroom, anonymous moderator status should be introduced. All moderation is subject to discussion between all of the moderators. It was decided that the various changes to the Boardroom arising from the meeting should be implemented as a single package as soon as reasonably possible. -------------------------- These changes will be put in place at the start of December and will affect Forum Users on or after 10th December. As part of this change a new set of rules is been drafted and shall be distributed to all registered users of the boardroom. Regards, Webmaster - Adrian Clinton-Watkins.
