Hi everyone,
I have had confirmation from the organisers of the Thirlestane Castle event on June 1st 2008 at Lauder in the borders that we have been allocated 25 places at the show. I expect demand for tickets for this show to be high as there is no charge for exhibitors. I need names and registration numbers by the April meeting as that is when I have to forward my entry list to the organisers.
This is a big car show event with autojumbles competitions and parades. I have attended here for the last two years and found it to be an excellent day out for all the family.
I want BMW vehicles only and for anyone who is interested please could they email me at terry@bmwclubne.co.uk .
The itinerary will be as follows:
Sunday June 1st 2008
07.30am meet at Total Petrol Station Seaton Burn (Next to Travelodge)
08.30am Jedburgh Woolen Mill (Breakfast)
09.30am Leave for Lauder
Entrance Tickets will be given out at the breakfast stop at Jedburgh
Hope to see you all there
Terry

Beyond the North East
What about this for a radical idea!!
The club has always focused its membership in and around the north east of england and I personally don't think that should change. However even in our north east some members cannot always get to the meetings at Gateshead.
What can we do about that?
What we could do is hold a second meeting as an online conference that people could access from their computer. The committee and members can still set an agenda and other BMW enthusiasts could join in the online conference as guests from anywhere in the world.
At these online conferences members could talk about their cars or seek advice from other members and guests.
This would help any members who find the travelling difficult. All you need to access the conference is a broadband connection and PC. Web Cams would be an advantage but not essential.
Opinions welcome.

Event Ideas
Just as we always do this time of the year we are looking for events to fill our calendar this year. We will of course be attending one or two of the regular national events but what we really want are some new ideas that will interest all our members. We aim to dump what doesn't work and keep what does but even the things that do work have to be changed each year to prevent boredom. Let us have your ideas.
2008 AGM
February was the AGM for the BMW Club North East and even though I was not present at this meeting I can confirm that all the current committee members have been re-elected to serve through 2008.
