Thumbs down Re Bolton Abbey.

Why did you all park in the main car park. If you had gone to the top of the hill you could have parked by the Cavendish pavilion then down to the side of the river. That is what I intended. I can not understand your thinking. How do you think we could park together.
However, Seldmere is like that. I tried to get us onto the main arena I asked for numbers. I got zero response. If you can not be bothered neither cani I will be at Sledmere in my MGB.
I have said before about your apathy. That does not include Steve Aka Skippyfox. For a Lancastrian he is superb.
If you are coming please let me know so I can try to sort group parking You all are so frustrating. Why do I bother.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

There was no confirmation of where to meet up and the "main" car park seemed like the logical choice.
Steve and another member were there and unfortunately the traveller went to the Riverside car park.

I tried to help us all get together but others didn't seem too fussed.

I took my partner with me and after the event she expressed how she had been ignored and not made to feel welcome at all.
Another member and his partner were left on their own as they weren't up for the long trek around the grounds. Not good at all after making the journey.

I for one won't be at Sledmere.

I've attended 2 meets and neither were very car or Volvo orientated.

I understand your frustration Dave, but your recent posts and my recent experience have totally put me off making any further attempt at attending any further meets.

I fully understand your view. Unfortunately my grandsons birthday party was moved to this date so I could not attend. I wish you all the best.

I have had to think long and hard about my decision, frustration with organising events and then only a few turn up. I know it is not compulsory. I have tried to be inclusive for both owner and partner.
If I have caused anyone offence accept my apologies. I have now resigned as Yorkshire secretary.
I wish you all the best and safe motoring.

Sorry to hear this David - I know personally I haven't been as supportive in attending as I'd have liked to be, although you know the reasons.

Trying to organise anything like this is a tough call - well done for giving it a go and I for one appreciate the efforts you put into it!

See you around

David

Yep Bolton Abbey was a bit of a none event but hey **** happens every now and again. I've never been there before so didn't know the script on that one. Sorry to hear you are calling it a day Dave, you give it your best. All being well the good lady and my self will do our best to get up to Sledmere. Will get in touch soon. DCW hope all is well with you, see you all about.
