Sean one person can't hope to dictate behaviour.
Totally agreed - it's a forum and who's dictating, certainly not me ? Dictate and debate are seperate.
In the absence of a realistic list, I've suggested that an individual lead a think-tank to produce a definitive listing of cars this club recognises as genuine Samuri cars built by both owners of Samuri Conversions Ltd out of Silverstone. I would happily assist.
In the past, I've proposed my help to obtain and list those reductions as can be had from suppliers of parts and services (including me) for club members : list the advantages available but without the codes etc so as to attract more full-members.
Club discounts
The Z club gets discounted tickets to key national shows and events (e.g. Japfest, Donington Historic etc) as well as other discounts with some suppliers such as Opie Oils…………….sadly out of date and impossible to see by potentiel full-members.
Sharing such contacts IS what a club is about so I don’t understand why my offer wasn’t taken up ; nor do I understand why this club of ours has no chairperson………I've suggested in my post that the club required a chairperson....this cannot be viewed as an attack on the committee or ortherwise any idea good or bad proposed by anyone will always been seen as some personal attack on a small group of overtaxed individuals (see list below) holding this club together - where is the new blood to share the jobs ?
These are the brave souls and I hope asking for help won’t imply to some that there are services lacking……

I would also suggest that people join/are invited onto the committee to share workload and take on new tasks such as :
A tri-annual newsletter (double-sided A4) emailed or sent via PM to all forum members and posted to those paid-up members with no forum action since 3x months.
« no magazine since 15yrs and no history recorded since 2008 »
https://zclub.net/club-history/ Fill in the blanks since 2008 !
I guess it’s inevitable that some will want to see this as club-bashing, personal attack however I would ask to step back and ask yourselves what does Sean want for the club of which he’s been involved and loyal to for 33yrs….. ?
Ruin or improve it ?
It takes all sorts chaps and I’m a (frustrated sometimes) doer, not just a talker.
Happy New Year.
