Title: Regional Sections?
Post by: mowlamb on 14 February 2010, 15:22
Not sure if it's been done or mentioned before but how about a section with the individual regions throughout the country. People can keep up to date with all things VW in their region. We can all share our experiences of companies/mechanics in our areas. Could also be used to organise regional meets.

What you think?

I agree, currently we only have http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=39.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=39.0), it would be better is we had more catogorised areas.

When I had a Peugeot I was part of a forum who had separate regional sections and it helped find people in your area who could help with car stuff. I made a friend who knew a lot about ICE and he would help me fit bits for beer tokens and bacon sarnies.

We used to , but if im honest the "regions" didnt have enough regular memebers to make them worth while

 this place is a fairly "small" forum compaired to other is used , the regular memeber use isnt that huge

if there is an event goin on the there is usually a thread in the meets section then the local from that area usually sort out a convoy start point

i know im a newbie here, and im sure you guys do things different than i do with the club i own, but if not regional areas, how about just having regional reps to co-ordinate monthly 'local' meetings, but as someone has juts mentioned as well, increasing the catchment areas, for example... london, kent, surrey or... cornwall, devon, doset or, cumbria, lancashire ??

i wouldnt mind meeting up with fellow golf owners here in the midlands tbh, im not into the whole 'dub' scene like some sites because i dont like the attitude, but i do like my golf  :cool:
