Calling Greater Manchester & Surrounding Area members

[Onliest Smeg David]

FAO Greater Manchester and surrounding catchment area.

 

Firstly - MANY THANKS for being a member of WSCC, and I hope that your getting what you want out of membership.

 

Please would you reply to me with your thoughts on the following in order to help me as AO deliver 'What members would like from WSCC in the area'.

(note: all responses will be treated in confidence - via Forum messages to 'Dave (OnliestSmeg) - Manchester AO' or email 'manchester@wscc.co.uk' )

 

• What type of events/meets would you wish to join in with in 2020 ?
• Are you likely to attend any future Monthly Manchester meetings, depending on time/day/place/activity ?
• Would moving the regular meet venue encourage attendance ?
  • Looking at alternative meeting venues, potentially more welcoming, more rural, with more drive out options. Do you have any suggestions/recommendations
  • What days/times would be best for you ?
• What do you think to a 'roving' Monthly meet/activity rather than same day/time ?

 

Early 2020 we will be trying out potential new venue suggestions, keep an eye on the forum events for info on these.

 

It's worth noting the current approx. area coverage of recent meet attendees:

 

If you are attending other area meets/events that is great, I'm not pouching! Only wish to add value for members.

 

muchly ta for reading

All the best for Christmas, New Year & 2020

 

  cheers,   

David

Don’t want to offend anyone  but I'm from a dead area where I have to travel an hr or 2 to meet other members .
It does puzzle me ,why with the roads you have ,I meet so many of your lot in the peaks?

[Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO]

No offence taken ( it is after all a car club and that involves driving) 😀

Believe it or not in Manchester we are blessed 😇

Within one hours driving we have.

starting closest going clockwise.

The forest of Bowland.

the Lancashire moors.

the Yorkshire dales.

the Penines.

the Peak District.

north Wales.

the Lancashire coast.

and last but not least the Lake District .

and the reason you see many of us out and about in the Peak District is:-

the roads and the AO organises lots of runs, there are many reasons for that Julie and Glen are very like minded people with probably fewer commitments than many of our AOs.

 

Edit to add.

Another thing to bear in mind is that some folks living in the south and east of Manchester can actually live within the Peak District boundaries.

 

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Also, the Peak District is relatively central for people coming in from a huge swath of the country, from Lancs to Lincs, Cheshire to Derbyshire and even from Yorkshire and Warwickshire.

 

As a result, there’s a lot of us spread across five or so “Areas” that know each other from Julie’s runs and other events, so of course, you also go to catch up with old friends. Plus there’s cake.
