After some discussion with quite a few members and seeing some of the feedback in the forums, I decided to post this poll. This is in no way an attempt to undermine Jim or his efforts. Obviously it is impractical to expect everybody to make it on the same day. We want to accomodate as many people as we can, continuing the great turnout that we saw yesterday! If nothing else, some people are too shy to speak in public or address issues face to face. Here is a chance for you to do so now. Let your voice be heard and sound off!

 

I now have weekends off, so it doesn't matter to me. I do like the idea, since it will allow people who have Sundays off to make a meet every once in a while.

The proposed idea is to alternate meet days. Still the first Sat or Sun of the month. Since this meet was an odd month (3) and next will be an even (4) month, the scheme is Odd Saturdays, Even Sundays.

On the proposed scheme, the next meet would be Sunday April 6th.

If we are to start up a second monthly meet instead, I'd suggest putting it 2 weeks away from the usual meet. So for example, if we wanted a second meet this month, it would be Sunday March 16. (And keep the first Saturday meet.)

 

I'm fine with either day.

 

Saterday since I'm a good little boy who goes to church on sundays. not to mention if I get hammered on sunday I got school monday.

 

so did this take over the socal7s monthly meet for the san diego members?

Looks like this is something totally different.

 

I don't know exactly where it came from. It seems that Jim, John and Mel talked it over, but it was the first I'd heard of actually doing it.

I remember last year we talked about it a few times but never really came up with anything.

 

see that's the thing thats 3 people who discussed it. they should have discussed it on the thread where everyone can put opinion and people who weren't there can debate it as well.

 

How is the "No opinion / any day is good for me" considered, in terms of making a determination?

 

I'm not sure, I wanted to throw a neutral stance in. I really don't want to be the decider of that and would rather leave that to the masses. I just consider myself to be the poll starter/guy in the middle.

 

personally i want it to stay on saturdays. the only day i have to spend any real time with my b/f and friends that doesnt involve cars is sundays. id like to keep it that way.

 

yeah we all gotta realize we all have lives away from our cars. well most of us.

 

The idea was brought up to me recently by Jim before Saturday but I had nothing to do with it. It does give consideration to those who can only attend on Sundays. Any changes might be worth giving a shot although my preference leans towards Saturdays.

This poll is a good thing. Keep your thoughts coming people...

 

only one day of the week do i have a car free day. and even then it tends not to be. but its the one day we arent at the shop (usually) or at a car event.

i completely agree with you mel. it sucks that some people cant make it regularly on saturdays. but at the same time if moving the meet to sundays means that less people will be able to attend than the couple people that cant make sat i feel its not a good choice for the club as a whole.

 

+1 on what 2cute said...changing or alternating the dates to acomodate for the few that can't come on saturdays is going to weaken the group that goes strong once a month on saturdays...I say stick to saturdays as we have been doing...

 

yeah. well like a lot of us said. if they can't make it why change the whole meet for just them? if they got a problem with it then make their own meet. why try to fix something that isn't broken yaknowwutimsayun foo?

 

look part of this club is that we try to make everyone happy and try to help every one out. i understand it sucks. no matter what we end up doing there will be an unhappy party. as i said i want it to be one saturdays but if its for the better of the club then so be it i will only come every other month to the saturday meets.

 

and they go every other month on sunday. then what happens if you make an announcement or they make an announcement. half the people won't ****** know if they don't post it on the forums. just like the "announcement" a lot of people who didn't go were like wtf is goin on

 

By far the worst idea suggested so far.

 

well then post two threads one for sunday one for saturday...clock is ticking and jimmy boy still hasn't posted on the forum since the meet...Does anyone have a problem with starting a thread for next months meet and getting the ball rolling?

 

I think having two meets is a bad idea. It supports segregation amongst the club, as a whole. Pick a day, one day, to meet, where it's convenient for the majority. It's unfortunate for those who can't make it, but to say "well, if you don't like it, set up your own meet" suggests that those who can't attend are not part of the group.

As far as setting up the next meet, it's only been 2 days since the poll was posted, give it a week before setting something in stone. Give it some time for more people to post up.

 

wow guys wow mmk. stop the whole and democrasy thing here mmk . Super Tuesday already passed were moving on to big things now like Texas baby leave the changes to the pros like obama "lets turn the page". Why make changes like tupac once demanded and the brother got . in other words saturdays are best

 

sooooooooooo..........I guess i agree with you on this?

 

yes grasshopper yes. theres an old saying i believes it goes "you have to know where you came from to know where your going"

 

+1

yeah that won't work either stick to what we have or pick a solid day and run with it...but having two seperate meets is a bad idea...

yeah i hear you on that...

 

you know what everyone needs to do this next meet is maybe get some before the meet and jump around jump around jump up jump up to get down so there wont be anymore drama you know what i am saying "cuz dont want no drama, don't wana no drama drama"
