fact is as Adrian Smith in his ISF, approached your stand which happened to be on the main route into the venue, he was stopped and asked to park up on your stand and told there was no Lexus stand

So you know that one member was approached so you start accusing people of poaching. Jason stated that he saw the car and asked where he was heading, not telling the owner of the ISF to park up. You can jump to all the conclusion you want.

It seems strange that this person in the ISF knew to go straight to the TSS stand, so it seems that you managed to tell some people where to go but not others

As for the event organisers... as stated Johnboy was in hospital & consequently unable to make it. Barrie & myself were never even on the list, I think you will find that most OJC members, if not the mods/admin knew prior to the event that we would be on the TSS stand (they seem to enjoy keeping tabs on what we are doing) and not on the LOC stand.

Ok, so if yourself and barrie were not planning on being on the stand why are you both listed as being there? Also, if you knew beforehand that you wouldnt be there, were there ever any provisions planned for the members who were scheduled to turn up? What about a marquee, even a banner or sign. This cant have all been the responsibility of Johnboy.

It seems to me that nobody planned to be there or provide anything

There is no humble pie to be eaten fact is the reason Dave Read was the only one on the stand is because everyone else who had originally put their names down pulled out and went with another club and others were caught on the way in and told to park on OJC as it was the Lexus Club or that there was nobody on LOC so park up with us.

You might want to watch what you say. That there is a slanderous comment, and unless you can prove it you could face trouble from it.

And even so, if people turn up then find no sign of an LOC stand what were they going to do. Sit there on their own, or find somewhere more welcoming?

I can say Dave Read was very patient with you all. He tried to stay loyal to you guys, and it was a long time before leaving, but that was mostly down to the cars owner. You really need to sort out all the fact before you start flying off the handle and throwing accusations around

start at the top.....why would i, at least barrie and Jane, as thats who YOU are refering too, have stuck by this club through thick and thin.

You are joking right. Thick and thin.

I turned up at JAE on friday, i know i did not let people know, but it was a spur of the moment thing. What a dissapointment to find that there was nobody there at all. I was made welcome elsewhere and due to the warm welcome i made the decision to stay for the whole weekend. That wasnt down to anyone asking me to leave LOC or being 'poached'. Funily enough im a grown adult, and i can think for myself. Im not a sheep and there were no underhand tacttics going on as you state. If people dont like it here, why would they not leave, and if it was only the minority who left, why is there now no one left? You can blame anyone you want but this clubs failings are due to the people that supposedly organise things. There was a list of members who were going to be there including Admins/mods. So..... where were they?

Individual members may not turn up, but where were the event organisers? Barry and Janey sticking by the club. Is that why they were on a different stand then? If there is no support from the management why do you expect any member to want to be there.

There were 100's of clubs that managed to make an effort for their members, but it seems to me that all you guys want to do is bitch at everyone and anyone and not accept that any of the problems are your own doing.

This club has been reduced to a complete joke. Why would anyone want to be part of this anymore. I certainly dont.

You have disgraced yourselves and let your members down.

not a problem i did struggle with just one person so if yoa have a second pair of hands would be of great help to you

Rabs

Cheeky b*stard. Were my pair of hands not good enough for you?
