Hi all i am just asking i have been told that if you are not a full paid up member of the main rsoc. That you cant go to any shows with the local group is this right ??
ohh right mate is this a new rule ?? it was that if you a member of the local group you could do the local shows, but cant do nat day
seems a bit daft rich doesn't it p.s you need to sort ya membership status out mate as you are a member!
Wont this mean the numbers at local shows will be less making them a smaller show which will leed to less visitors and less money so not worth doing???
Most of us are members of the national club in our group. We have a lot of guys with non RS cars who have very show worthy cars this means they can not go on our stand now even though they are members of our club, can understand the point the national club is making only RS cars and members on club stands but don't see why, if you are a member of a local group you should be able show on that stand.
South Lincs RSOC? This would be the South Lincs Group of the RS Owners Club? You own a RS model, as you own a RS model you are entitled to full membership of the Ford RS Owners Club. If you stay within the South Lincs area your local group is South Lincs. Your local group would like to visit another RSOC show with a club stand under the banner or the South Lincs Local Group of the Ford RS Owners Club, all cars have to be RS's! Don't see the problem personally.
Are you saying if you don't own a RS you should not be allowed to join a Local group? Alot of members of our club have owned other performance fords when they join us, before moving to an RS, i doubt we would have seen them again if we told them they could not join if they did not own an RS, even if they bought an RS in the future.
I see you point but its not good for the small shows but hey rules are rules . so thats wot it will be
the new rule is local group stands at shows are for rsoc members they can be an associate member with an st or whatever but must be an rsoc member too many people just go to all the shows with the same benefits as a member and have not paid to join the rsoc please be aware local groups can no longer charge a membership fee you may charge £ 1 per month subs but not a yearly fee regards dave
Believe it or not Darren, cars do NOT need to be RS's to be on local group stands now!!!!! As long as you are a paid up RSOC member, you are valid to be on your local group stand..........ANY marque you like. Membership is the key now, not the car.
Ah it all makes sense now, i fully understand that to get the benafits of a club you need to be in it.
Its so easy when someone explains things in laymans terms, well done Stu I thought about it then thought sod it. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
national day local group area will be RS cars only as per usuall think i will publish the rules in rallye news
