RE: [doc] Secretary Retireing

["glen hale" <GLENHALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris

 

 

Well what can I say ( hopefully with the spell checker working ) I think
Paul B has said it al,l when I first came across the delorean club a few
people took me the wrong way, but  o no not Chris you helped me go from
nothing to helping with the club stands, meeting all the gang in the club
and gaining much more trust worthy friends that I have never thought I get,
you always said if you want a delorean then come back after you saved up in
your delorean fund ( Sam's draw in the bedroom) then when I rang the other
week I said got the money Chris you said well then I got a better thing for
you then it was like giving me my driving licence again I brought Herman and
my own back to the future car as well so if it was not for Chris my dream
had never come true all I can say is this man is a legend Evan to the words
saying if your going to build delorean glen build it with style so from all
the club, and friends that you helped out in the bad time and good I wish
you all the best with Parnham palace and hope that will see you in the
future ( not in the past ) on club runs when your project is all over with
its going to be Very hard to find some one to fill your shoes matey 

 

Nice one Chris

Hi Chris,

I am sorry to hear that you are stepping down as club secretary, as you are
what makes the DOC such a unique and special car club to be in (just like
the DeLorean itself really! :O) I certainly don't blame you for wanting to
go out on a high though, you only have to look at last weeks hugely
successful Lotus weekend alone being a stand out example of that! 

I have never been a member of a car club before, but the few years that I
have been part of the DOC (and despite the fact that I am not yet an owner),
you have always made me feel extremely welcome, and have always answered my
questions (which you have probably heard a million times before) with the
same enthusiasm as ever. You can see how much genuine love you have for the
DeLorean and it certainly rubs off on other people, explaining (like Paul
says) just why this club has continued to get bigger and better as time goes
by, and the fact that the average age to own a DMC now works out at just 28
years old, I think speaks for itself! You certainly deserve a huge pat on
the back. :O)

I know that I keep saying this, but I feel extremely proud to be a part of
this fantastic little club! Thank you for everything Chris.

All the best with the house, and see you in the future! ;O)

Best Regards

Carl Hammond

Hi Chris.

Im sure everyone will tell you the same, when I say we'll be very sorry
to see you go. You've really given this club your heart and soul,
and its paid off, by being one of the finest car clubs there is.
The numbers simply speak for themselves!
You have been the driving force behind the success of this club, which
has simply got bigger and better as the years go by.

I wish you and your wife, all the very best for a long and relaxing
retirement, as im sure it will be once your house is completed.

I presume some kind of leaving party or "Soiree" is in order, when the
time comes?

And dont think for one minute that your retirement will keep us away
from Parnham Pallace. You've made way too many friends to shrug us
off that easily! :^p

All the very best,
Kindest Regards,

Dear all,

I have decided to retire as club secretary.

Why have I chosen to announce it on our newsgroup? Well the person
that takes over, needs to be enthusiastic and keen, that were such
members are.

There are several reasons I have come to this decision. Firstly, I may
as well go out on a "High" The last few months for been particularly
successful/ enjoyable for me and the club.. To have such a good time at
our Lotus meeting, following on from taking my D to Buckingham
Palace.well I don't really think I can top that.

Secondly, I will have more time to devote to building our new house or
"Parnham Palace" as it has been nicknamed by some who have seen the
foundations!

On a practical level, when we move in, it will involve notifying dozens
of magazines etc of the new address of the "Secretary of the UK DOC".
This may as well be the new person.

We can decide, finally who my replacement will be at our next AGM,
probably at the next NEC.

What is involved in being the secretary?

Your name address, telephone number readily availably in all classic car
magazines, websites etc etc for ANYBODY to see. You must be contactable
at any hour of the day or night. (I have never had any sort of trouble
regarding this, apart from a couple of late phone calls, in all my time
as secretary).

It takes a good few hours a week. You need to be organised.

It helps if you are not counting every penny, as unexpected bills often
pop up and need addressing, before I can get Dave to reimburse me.

You have to have a thick skin and don't easily take offence. You need to
be sympathetic to our very young members, who only have BTTF in mind.

I could go on all day.

Lets open up the discussion and see where it leads us.

Regards

Chris P DOC 2.
