I joined two clubs over the years, but they were not my gig so I exited left quietly.

Hi Crackers.
The mods have had a pretty thorough look at this thread, and have been since its beginning.
With that in mind, we're struggling to see which posts you have an issue with. There are a few that could be classified as a bit cheeky but nothing said with any malice. Has it occurred to you that perhaps your posts have come across as being antagonistic toward the Land Rover Register of South Australia? Given that the club is popular with members on here, perhaps the tone of your thread has had them a bit defensive from the get go.
If you see something you feel requires a moderator to attend to, please use the report function before it gets to the point of you not wanting to participate, we like people to stick around here
If you'd like to continue this conversation via PM, please don't hesitate to get in contact with myself or another member of the Moderating Team.
Sincerely
Muppet

Indeed I have....

The comments in this thread by the OP isn't feedback - when the person providing it has not been to, spoken with or participated in any of the clubs events.

Prior to doing any of the above it is complaining and criticism.


My comments were more in line with ongoing complaints about the clubs requirements - how being a Weekend warrior has anything to do with a club trip and radio requirement - I cannot make the connection...

It's ok Weeds; I know you are one of my most committed admirers and you're just looking out for me

And just a note: Not everyone needs to embrace feedback.

*If* a body/club/corporation has established its modus operandi and is happy with it as it is - then they don't need to embrace anything.

If they choose to seek feedback to change or embrace a new ideal then so be it.

Up until that point people need to be aware that "constructive criticism" doesn't exist, and that it is plainly criticism.

the Land-rover register of SA has a hard job at the best of times, being a marque club, for a marque that has such a wide and varied use.

just think about every thing a land-rover and the different models of land-rovers there are. even just in the S1 bunch, concourse restored, rolling restorations daily drivers weekend drivers, modified V8 powered rock hoppers and then there are the hoarders. etc etc and the list goes on. and that's just for series ones. multiply that over what 70 odd years of production and you have a vaer wide group of land rover owners and potential owners.

NO club management can satisfy such a wide group of people all of the time.

for me the previous version of the land rover register was more suable.

i feel that the sa register is leaning ot getting quite close to the Range rover club of SA.

i will try to clarify by giving an example. and i mean not to take anything away from those who attend and expressly Mr D.R. who puts great effort into organising trips etc. and hes a nice bloke.

they have advertised in there mag a robe beachport trip a couple of weekends ago. the out line i believe is all catch up at a camping ground on a long weekend in beachport on Friday. Saturday backtrack to robe drive down the beach popping out at beachport again and then heading to the pub.

sounds great. Friday is ok you have all-day to get to beachport, but why beachport and then have to back track? when you can camp in the little dip. cheaper and your ready for the morning, no rush. ok go to the pub for dinner or camp again at beachport conservation park, then on Sunday you can have a play in the dunes before taking your time to get home.

now i know the camping ground cabins powered site showers and toilets are mandatory for some members, but add in a atop at talembend bakery and a pub meal camping ground fees on a long weekend and the weekend is becoming quite a pricey trip and something that more me is not achievable. nor is the time seclude child friendly. Saturday being quite a long day.

i believe that this has been refered to by another poster as the 110klmph club

I believe a symptom of modern life - we see it here all the time.. People doing 7 day runs through the Simpson from Melbourne etc.

We travel to S.A. for the LRRSA show from QLD. have been twice if we were in S.A. we woulkd probably join. they seem like a nice group of people and welcome us when we come down. My 2cents worth

I am a member of the Range Rover Club of SA (not the youngest member, but not far off it) and I was quietly impressed with the attitude displayed by other participants at a recent drive day at Jakem Farm. They went (almost) everwhere that I did.

I intend on joining the LR Register when I get a chance to go to a meeting. If only for the opportunity to get Historic Rego on my 76 Rangie. Although I am sure that once I am on board I will find plenty of people to befriend and possibly trips to go on.

I can't do long trips (self employed, young kids) but day or weekend trips are not out of the question.

With 3 Rangies and 3 1/2 Series LRs I feel I am qualified to join any LR based club.
