steve123e1500gt Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Dear old skool essex After looking forward for 2 weeks and polishing my Anglia up to come to your meeting, I can't tell you how disappointed with the chaps both myself and my friend were. You all made no attempt in talking to us, nor making us feel welcome. You all knew I was coming as you all use the website. In fact we found all of you most rude! The only persons that made any attempt to make us welcome was the young lady and Loudmouth, even his dog made us feel more welcome. Thank goodness 2 of my other friends with classic fords were unable to attend. Naturally, we shall not be attending nor recommend your meets to others. steve123e1500gt
PCOE Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Hi there Without wishing to appear rude Some of us were held up due to traffic and other things so unfortunately weren't able to be at the Eagle at 18.30 on the dot as we all have families/commitments etc.... Also You were greeted when you arrived by one of the members However just saying hello then asking where everybody was (to which you were told people were unfortunately held up and to give it a little while) and then moving your car to the back of the car park (lovely Anglia btw) maybe didn't inspire others to think you wanted to be involved.... We are a great friendly bunch here in essex oldskoolford however it does require your participation too!! Also I think that by posting this message on here publically is a little bit.... Well.... 'Off' shall we say.... We didn't win classicford magazines meet of the year for nothing
knighty Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 A lot of hard work has gone into making this meet the success it is and that's testament to the members (new and old) that put the effort in. Its a shame you left so early as it ended up a fairly busy meet tonight despite most of us freezing off our extremities..... We are a friendly bunch but as pcoe says, it takes participation on all sides for these meets to work. Hope to see you again soon, I was looking forward to seeing the Anglia which by all accounts is very nice! 1
mk2 v6 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 In response to steve123e1500gt. I'm sorry you feel this way but as a fairly new member to these meets I can say that everyone has made me welcome, otherwise I wouldn't make the effort to stand in the cold in February to talk to rude people. I arrived at 19:30 and didn't even see your car there, if it was still there?then thats probably why no one even knew you were there. When ever I go to a new meet I always to talk to people about there car as this breaks the ice. Try this the next time you go to a new meet or show,and park where people can see your car. I am quite a shy person but realise the need for participation. Good luck in the future. 4
daveaphillips Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Hi Steve, Really sorry you feel this way! I arrived around 19.30 also, so didn't get a chance to chat or see your car. I'm a fairly newish member too, having only attended the meet for about 12 months. In that time, I've found the guys to be so friendly and helpful. I started off just coming down by myself and introducing myself, since then I've looked forward to every meeting, including coming down all through the winter months. I appreciate sometimes it's not easy to find out who is who after talking on a forum, but it takes two to tango Give it another chance, come and say hi, bring your car over and I promise you you'll find us a friendly bunch Cheers, Dave
Tall paul Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Posted February 26, 2014 Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you but as said due to work and family commitments I personally can't get to the venue much before 19:30, it starts from 18:30 because some members live local or take there osf 's to work with them and come up on there way home. I'm sure Loudboy (mark) or who ever else you spoke to wouldn't have been "rude" to yourselfs. This meet started from nothing and now has turned into a very well turned out place to meet during the week, even in the winter months. Most of the members that attend have been strangers and now are very good mates of mine and each other. Please come next month and give it another chance, maybe come along a little later next time as when I got there last night about 19:45 it was very busy. Paul.
Stevemk1 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Another good turn out for last nights OSF meet at the eagle even tho it was freezing, very friendly group of people made some great new friends over the 2yrs, happy 2nd year anniversary here's to many more years 1
Delbert Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 Hi All ,i must apologize for not turning up, after saying i would be there, yes for some unknown reason i got the night wrong, as all i found were a load of MX3 owners, that started the alarm bells ringing, went last night ( Wednesday ) " DUMB OR WOT " was convinced that it was the 25th yesterday, just dont know why i thought that, ( perhaps im suffering from BRAIN FADE ) LOL but will be down to the next one DEFFO,
