Mrs hh

I don't have any seals for my existing door tops and cant get hold of any at a reasonable price so going to run pinchweld type seals from clark rubber on the door surrounds.

Really, mine only need some new window channels and some small rust holes patched but I'm entertaining the idea of getting some new ones.

Well, apparently there is a new 101 club in the UK.
http://www.the101club.org/

I've started following them. Interested to see where it goes and what membership offers.

They've trademarked that name. That's enough for me to steer clear.

Interesting first post, Nick.
Welcome to the forum. I assume you have a 101. There are a number of 101's in America now.
You may wish to start a new thread in the 101 section of the forum and post up pictures of your 101. We love pictures.
In fact, there is an unwritten rule on this forum, "It didn't happen without pictures."

Yup... I'm in agreeance with Mick! Pictures please!!

Hi all.
There's been a bit of movement over in the UK re 101 clubs/groups as no doubt a few of you are aware... Anyway, a friend over there messaged me on Facebook yesterday about the subject. His first message was this:-

"Simon, if instead of the 101 FCC&R there was a Global Association of 101 Clubs - for the sake of harnessing purchasing power and unity. Would your Aus. Club nominate a person to sit on the Associations governing panel ?"

I replied with this:-

"Yeah, I recon so. AULRO is a forum, so doesn't have the club rules, but there's been talk of an Aussie club, so I could add a post about there being a Global Club/Association option and c what feedback we get.. Let me know if that suits u, and if so how you'd like it worded and with what points, and we'll go from there. My email is sitec74@icloud if you want to get hold of me directly. Cheers for now."

And this is the reply:-

"Simon, The principle would be that localised Clubs could start anywhere and everywhere and run under there own governance and once they've met some criteria, would be eligible to join the Global Association. The Global Association would not operate as an owners Club but as an association of them. This would allow more flexibility and accountability. It would reduce operational costs. The problem of difficult members would become a localised issue. A small local
club disbanding and reforming to eject a rogue members is better than losing a whole global operation. Time and time again. Global communications is now supporting terrorism in many aspects of sociology and we are suffering one of them. I'm just fielding a concept. Due to the way you chaps have been treated in the past, as a nation and a continent, I thought you should be the first to be asked. How you word it is up to you. As at some point someone there will become the representative of it. So please offer up the concept and see if people would help to build this.

Steve"


I'm not exactly sure how it'd work with us, not being a club, but as I've been asked, I thought I'd 'put it out there' for discussion. Mods/Inc, value your thoughts as its not something I know the logistics of what's involved etc etc. The Global Group has been started on Facebook, tho Im assuming/hoping it will migrate from there to a more secure and permanent place. So, guys.. Fire away.. R we interested, how do we go about it? Thoughts, issues etc.

After going through the process of turning TeamW4 from 4 or 5 mates on Aulro to an incorporated club with 60 odd members and affiliating with the WA 4x4 association and council of motoring clubs, I can attest that it is not an easy task and still takes a fair bit of managing. However it was necessary to achieve our objectives so we worked through it. If the 101 club / register wanted to be a governing body/ association for 101 owners, maybe any incorporated Land Rover specific club could become a member. It may fragment the 101 comunity a bit but would still meet their criteria for purchasing power etc. and encourage more owners to be a part of them.
