Santa pod - The analysis

[essexgirlracer]

I may have a 3 x 3 easy fold in my garage... I will check the weekend and if I have I will bring it next year and to any other shows were there is camping the night before the only thing is I need someone to help put it up and take it down.... It don't take long it's just a little awkward. As for he BBQ issue if a few of us brought some family size disposable bbq's with us there should be enough room for all food x x

£9.99 Argos special and leave it there.

Although I am so tight, my 12.99 one has done 3 Le mans trips.

Your right, that is tight

I wish I could have gone, and quite frankly I would have rather been there than what I was doing. Looked like a great show and I would have liked to run my car up the strip.
It sounds like the biggest issue was that people didn't get to meet up with other zoners. Custom t-shirts would be quite expensive, but what about little bright Orange 'I'm an E30 Zoner' stickers?? Cheap as chips and might help people identify each other more easily!

it's a bit "my name is xxxx and i'm special" though

The problem with not recognising people will plague us as there's just too many of us!

You recognised me, that's enough


I had a good time. Probably will be there next year to! Hopefully, with a performance wise tuned E30...

it wasn't my first time at the show but it was the first time i went as a zoner.
i wanted to camp so i could get to know some more like minded people. i usually keep myself to myself and find starting a conversaton quite hard.

i would have liked to see more of a plan to get the whole group together saturday night. either by starting it on here or on the day by puting a sign up, like e30's this way. we sort of had three seperate camps and as a newby that doesnt like to just roll up and say hi it would have been easier if a long term member grabbed people and intoduced us to others.

parking on the sunday was tight and it should be made clear to every one to write there mobile number on their stand pass so when they block some one in (as i was) they are just a phone call away.


other than that, great day and thanks to those that organised it.

I agree im a shy person too (until i get started )
So maybe a helpeful hand.. I also found it hard to find the zone area, I didnt find it until spadge gave me a bell with a coup,le of parts he brought with him

The team are having a meeting soon to sort out plans for this years shows. I'll take a printed copy of this with me.

Why not make up a T shirt for the Santa Pod meet 2010, sell it through the zone and ensure that you only let people into the zone area who are wearing one. That way you get to sub the Santa Pod meet without affecting people who are not interested in making the zone a paying club and you all know who is a zoner and who isn't - then at least you can walk up to them in confidence and ask them their screen name
