Suggestion: Events Threads

[GrahamS4]

Hi,

Just a suggestion about the Trackdays and Meets section.

Well first a question; Is there such thing as an officiall, staff organised RS246 meet, or are they all regional meets organised by the members? Has there ever been a national "big one" if you like? Do you have club stands at other National Audi Events?

Now to the suggestions.

When people start a Meet or GTG (Get ToGether) thread, it more often than not starts as an idea or a water test, then dates get set and off it goes.

1. The suggestion is that if staff see (or get notified by the thread starter/organiser) that a date and venue is set, that the title of the thread is changed from whatever it started as to include the date and venue.

2. What I have seen work previously is to make all outstanding event threads, with FIRM dates and venues to be made sticky.

Once the event is over, thread un-stuck.

Both suggestions combined it just means people can see what is coming up and should help meet attendance and avoid people missing events.

A little more work for the admins, we can't expect you to read all threads every day, so the system would probably rely on us notifying you.

What do you think?

No 'official' meets, this is due to insurance situation with organised meets and all the rest of the H&S junk that goes with it, so meetings are on the basis of individuals getting together in the same place. We did organise a Christmas get together last year, not well attended but it was the same day as the fire in Hemel......These type of events are time consumming to organise, usually not well attended and never suit all at the same time. Most of the area meets are attended by at least one member of the crew.
Current system works well with Track and meets, cant see why it needs changed.

Ok. It was just a value add suggestion, not knocking current system.

I see the issue with the "official" meets and liability.

Was not taken as a knock...... but it is a case of 'if it aint broke'..... also, its nice to see the feed back and photos from these gatherings, would get hard to track if they are moving about the board
Keep up the good work, would love to join you but dont think I will have the time, you never know.......

Once the dates are firm, why not start a new thread? Changing the title is a pain.
