The feeling us young guys with moddified volvos is that the older members of the voc dont really like us or what we do to our cars...just an observation of past nationals and other section meets.
A nice quiet chat and a drink or 2 with some mates all in for playing with volvo's feels less...organised and more friendly to me. Griz |

I feel I would like to put my point across here…..
VOC is a great club, indeed, I am a fully paid up member. VOC forums are a great place to be and hugely successful – well done guys! However, I was under the impression that the forums were free to anybody from any part of the world. The insinuation here is that you need to be a member of the VOC to attend a meet which I’m sure is not true. Whilst the forum is part of the Volvo Owners Club, it is a free (& very good) place for people to join independently of the Owners Club. Surely therefore, non-VOC members of the forum should be allowed/permitted to meet up whenever and wherever they please? Pedro & I recently helped organise a www.volvo-tech.co.uk meet at Avon Park and posted details, maps, etc on the VOC when we weren’t paid-up members. Was this not allowed? I think if I were involved in the administration of the forum or VOC membership aspect, I would feel it a compliment that members of the forum would like to meet up and enjoy their cars……which may, ultimately, lead to more people joining the VOC. I’m not trying to be argumentative and I would really appreciate an explanatory response

Although the monthly VOC regional meets are open to non VOC members, it is usually as a means to find out about the club and possibly join.
As Julie states, the forum is a place for anyone to visit and partake, so I see no reason why a group of like minded folk can't arrange a meet using the forum. This is very much the way the Performance Section has developed, and many have now joined the VOC, so impromtu meets such as this are a good idea as it can only gel and develop our shared interest. As a club we are always looking for ways to attract new members and provide more for existing members. These meets are a great chance to swap info and solve problems etc. You can't beat leaning over an engine bay and having a detailed guide about what is what and how things work, and how to fix things that don't work.

Great! There's just one thing....has anybody been to and eaten at the truck stop in a car before? The reason I ask is that my dad went to the truck stop in Ashford 'cos he fancied a bite to eat and they wouldn't let him in because he was in a car, not a truck
We're looking at the weekend of 15th April - is that OK with everyone? And just to reiterate.....everybody is welcome in any vehicle be it fast, slow or in reverse. It'll be nice to meet more of you, have a poke around the cars and have a bite to eat.

I have regularly used the truck stop on my travels - there is a seperate car park for cars. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether food is available over all the weekend or not. Could do with someone local calling in to check on food and whether they would be happy for us top meet there. Has anyone posted on V3M to see if any of them would be interested in joining us - they are all young (or young at heart) and have their own informal get togethers.
Lets get this off the ground and finalise details. Could logical tuning check it out for us? Mike
