    Hi guys, I've put this idea up to admin and was wondering what you guys would think of it.
    For years I was always in the modified car scene and we had area reps for over the uk who would set up meets, shows etc to get people together and it worked pretty well.
    I think it would be a great way to bring new people into the forum and actually meet people face to face, get to some shows and try to organise stands at shows so everyone can show off their pride and joys.

    Would anyone actually be interested in this or am I barking up the wrong tree here? Lol

    Well, I'm in Yorkshire and Squires Cafe just off A1 attracts a lot of riders, and has a bike autojumble every 4th Saturday. Live in North Yorks but go to Squires every month summer and winter.

    Difficult with National clubs raising interest in my experience for "Local" events, but interested what other forum members think

    That's the kind of thing I'm on about, a couple of responsible dedicated members could be a rep for your area and organise a get together every month/week etc
    From what I have seen with car meets it has worked well, I don't see no reason it wouldn't work on here.

    I'm not knocking your idea or enthusiasm but i really can't see it working on this forum. According to the statistics there are 187 active members, I presume by active it must mean have popped in during the last 6 months because in reality there are probably only 7 really. Lol.

    This forum will never be able to conjure up the type of interest for meets up, ride outs, events etc as the more bike specific forums. A few have tried in the past with little or no interest so they gave up & moved on.

    As for The Triumph Forum having a stand at an event? There are two admins to this forum & one of them (Rob, Admin & site owner) has posted less than 50 times, 34 times to be precise.

    The only thing that moves on this forum is the tumble weeds! Might be worth trying to bark up one of those. Lol

    It's a good idea although I think the biggest problem with this is that there are not enough active members to do this. At the end of the day this is still a fairly new and small forum compared to the RAT or Triumph Torque which are very established.

    Not saying that it cannot be done just that it isn't easy to organize.

    Cheers

    It was very lively in here a little while ago & then the forum police came out with their big sticks & it appears the regular active members/posters voted with their feet :eek: Shame really, but hey ho :smile:
