Because it wasn't specified in your rather random info you posted about the meet.

Maybe stating what your intentions are before everyone drives hundreds of miles to get there would have been better?

I would love to come to one of these meets but they are always on a Sunday and always long distances away..... despite me living pretty much in the middle of Yorkshire.

I am hoping to be at the Leeds cruise this weekend in my 940 - Sat 9th from about 5pm onwards. Junction 1 M621 at the Burger King.

Its more for modified classic/hot rods/American cars but there is often a couple of Volvos there too - why not make it more?

If I finish work early enough, might pop along to that, sounds interesting as in the past I've had a few American motors.

When you have been to a meet, you can have a say. If you want to talk the talk, please have the decency to come to a meet.
I know who you are so if you can not come to a meet please do not be sarcastic.

Sorry are you talking to me? I would have been there however my 3 year old grandson’s birthday party was moved to this date. Now let’s be honest I could have attended without the wife and spent the next 6 months in Coventry.
I said due to circumstances beyond my control.
I hope and wish through this someone will attempt to carry on.
Only DCW knows about my health but for the last 15 years I have struggled with PTSD. I am sorry to stop but my health come’s first.
I wish everyone all the best.
David.

Health always has to come first - if you don't let it, it will remind you of that soon enough. That's why at this point I'm not offering to take this on despite being tempted. Good luck to you David - you tried your best.

Yes I was. I am sorry about your circumstances/health but when you take on the role of an organiser you should make things you organise a priority, or at least have some sort of deputy who can step in just in case anything happens. You also need to have good planning with full details up on here so no-one is of any doubt as to what is happening.

Anyway, on a positive note I went to the Leeds Cruise on my own and stayed there a lot longer than I wanted as there was a chance someone might turn up who had read this thread. I don't think anyone did bt I did meet a new 940 owner who I directed to this forum, so it worked out well in the end. Hopefully my enthusiasm will have rubbed off on him and he will get a nice welcome here if he ever joins up.

Sounds to me your just the man for the job. You have it all worked out.
Best of luck!
