Re: The future of RTOC...SHAKE UP??
Its really good to see all the committee are fully taking on board what all members have said. A big thank you to all :)
edit: really like the new flyers and packs! Really good idea not to make the 5GTT the main picture that is seen, that should help intice other people over to the dark side :laugh:

I took it upon myself to get these made after running the idea through the forum. I also collected all the money then spent my own time packaging them and then sending them out to everyone :)
Oh, i'm not an Area Rep, just someone that can help out if i can with a big interest in the club.
i did it well b4 thee lad and with ap discs...and guess what the members didnt want em....lol....:sad2:

The other problem as well is that no matter what way you cut it, this club will always be seen (in the majority) as a club for R5 GTT's, with a sprinkling of R9t's, R11t's, a few Clio's & the such like running c1j engines, a few other Renault turbo motors, and a few old skool members who are here just for the banter on the boards/to stay in touch with rtoc shananigans.
You only have to look at the 'Megane' section on here for proof of that; ie, even though there is a dedicated section for owners of those cars, that's pretty much it, hence why they're probably all on MeganeSport.net as well/instead, as that's more 'catered' towards their car.
My own personal feeling is that unless rtoc changes dramatically (and that's not me saying it has to, nor do I have any ideas on how to either), this will always remain a club for the aforementioned old skool Renault turbo motors, hence I can't see how the current membership numbers are going to increase in any significance, if at all.
:agree: i dont think it needs more members or is going to get too many of them;).
Just a steady return of old and some new members who like the style, and advise an nature of people on here.
It is a club owned by its members ? when the members die, the club dose, just like my local working mans club :( But i hope all the info will remain and beifit mainly/ only, old skool, renault turbo moter owner's like myself, This club had been and is directed at people who have said above cars.
It needs to be ran so its not about loss this or profit that, Just do what we can, were we can,whatever time we can.
Make the best of everything and by comeing together, Ideas and Plan for future is all good.:mart:
Re: The future of RTOC...SHAKE UP??
Just to recap, after reading the thread. I take it the club is still ticking over well and the shake up is a good idea, but never the less some ideas have been put into action.:agree::coffee:

If you look here and click on the underlined names on the left many of those link to the members profile where a presentation of their car may be.
https://www.rtoc.org/cgi-bin/leader_board.cgi
The old site didn't have a place where cars were 'presented' either. They were in the members profiles.
The old profile photos were lost by the old hosting company and then it was discovered that people who were thought to be backing them up had not done so.
