Pugfest has been and gone and I'm sure we all enjoyed it but it has highlighted a few nasty issues which need to be addressed.
The first and most important is messing with peoples cars. Im rather shocked to hear that a few members have had their wheel bolts loosened off whilst parked on the stand. Now, I'm not saying this is someone from OC. I don't know who it is but i don't want it carrying on and if i find out who it is, i will not hesitate to pass their details to the police. Its not a joke. It could potentially be deadly! If anyone does have any information as to who it is, please do let me know.
I also don't like the fact that members have had parts stolen from their cars. It may "just be" a dust cap but its still theft and its the sort of thing that gives the car scene a bad name.
Next, behaviour at meets. Im pretty sure we all mostly had a good time camping and as per usual, we all had one too many to drink but if you can't handle your drink, don't drink. We are all adults and should know what our limits are.
Due to the behaviour of two members of this club, i had to physically stop them from getting into a fight. Their attitude ruined the atmosphere, annoyed a lot of people and paints a bad image for the club. If anyone does this in the future, they will be told they are not allowed to join the club at future meets, no exceptions.
Finally, "Banter". Ive never known a club before where we have such a good relationship with each other that we can all have a lot of banter and I'm really happy with that but people need to realise where to stop. We all have triggers that piss us off and if someone makes it clear to you that they do not appreciate what you think is banter, it stops there. That goes for on the forum and at meets. If someone makes it clear that they don't like something, that stops being banter and becomes bullying which will not be tolerated here. I won't hesitate to ban people if they do continue with this.
Sorry to put a downer on things but this weekend really highlighted a few weaknesses in what is mostly, an awesome club and them weaknesses are going to stop now. If it does continue then as i say, i won't have any hesitation in banning people from the forum and make it perfectly clear to them that they are not welcome at club meets in the future. Other than that, thanks for an awesome weekend all!
