Big Meet 2015 - a big thank you

[ColinD]

A big thank you to all those who made the trip to Rockingham this year for our 2015 meet.

 

It was great to see so many familiar faces and new faces. Even Quinten surprised me, quite by chance.

 

Thanks to those who endured the camping, can't believe I thought I'd missed the main BBQ window, so had a pasta pot only to discover the bbq's had only just been lit! Feedback given to Rockingham over defn camping field. Thank for the sausages! We'll not mention the short track walk or mid summer costumes Nice chance to relax.

 

I really have to thank all those who took a moment out of there day to assist with setup, parking, judging, presenting, promoting yolmoConnect, running and teardown. Without your help it would not of gone smoothly, I'd probably still be there trying to pack the car too. So THANKYOU ALL.

 

I'd like us all to thank Clare too, being honest without her support, patience and sometimes therapy the meet, briskoda me would not be as it is today. Thank you!

 

I'd also like to thank all those who donated and who brought raffle tickets in aide of YolmoConnect, we raised £190 from the raffle and change drops, I'm topping that up by another 25% or so, to make a £250 total.  

 

A few raffle prizes are left unclaimed, hardly surprising as they are a bit niche. They are an intro to scrambling & climbing with me and a landing/product launch website from summit360 (me ). If anyone would like to win one of these two prizes, one is worth over £500 alone, the other is priceless Then please contact me with a donation offer. Best offer wins the prize, I'll keep them rolling till done...

 

Corin is made up with the effort and support you've given, a big thank you from me and him!

 

A big thank you to Chris Knott Insurance, Adrian Flux Insurance and Shark Performance for prizes and they were:

A Karcher K2 pressure washer, 2 B&D Pivot Dustbusters, £200 insurance vouchers and a free service.

Once again thank you for your continued support on the day and through out the year. Please as a reader of this post consider Chris Knott and Adrian flux for your insurance, and Shark Performance for tuning and servicing needs. 

 

I trust those on track had a good time, with the notable exceptions, track time is still where I'd prefer to drive with spirit now. I heard some good feedback on the circuit. 

 

Thank you to all those who ordered t shirts and to those who brought a few on the day, we've still got 'quite' a few left. They will be up in the shop very shortly. For the few who could not make the day, you'll be getting a mail of me shortly to discuss delivery options.

 

There is a feedback thread running, that is open for all constructive feedback.  2016 work had begun before 2015 meet happened with venue selection and filtering. There is much debate, in my own head for a start about the format for 2016, use the feedback thread to shape our thinking.

 

Thank you to anyone who I've forgotten, remind me on when our paths cross for a beer.

 

Thank you, see you all soon, don't forget the whole briskoda thing started from a small group of people who discussed, met, and drove our skoda's briskly.

 

 

Support your local regional events and meets, if there isn't one, start one, it might become a big one.

 

Cheers,

 

Colin.

I thought Quinten was going to thump me as this odd bearded fellow walked straight toward me and blocked me walking  I was "WTF" until he said who he was   He's like another person with all the chin carpet

Hi Colin,

 

Sorry we were double-booked. Would have enjoyed the Briskoda day and will certainly make every effort to attend in 2016 if the date works.

 

When you're ready please ping me the names and addresses of the Karcher and Dustbuster prize winners so we can get them their prizes.

 

Cheers,

Nick

Neither did I see you, or I would have said hi!

Even without the beard you'd probably done the WTF thing

 

Was nice to see you again Colin and Jason
