Love Admin Replacement There is a team making rapid progress on the replacement for the, much maligned, Love Admin system. There will be an article on the matter in a forthcoming edition of Lowflying and you may start to see changes from July this year, with the roll out completed by the autumn – watch this space. Facebook presence: There is a push on to boost the Club’s facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CaterhamLotusSevenClub/) with Pink Angels now able to post/maintain etc. This relies on content from members to post so please send in suitable material, particularly photos or videos of Caterham related stuff to admin@caterhamlotus7.club or editor@caterhamlotus7.club. Technical Guides: A working group are reviewing the Technical Guides section of the Club’s website (https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/guides/) to both update where required and post new guides. Please take a look at the section and let me have any feedback and ideas for new topics for Technical Guides which I can pass on. Events: Most eyes will now be on preparing for the Taffia Fish & Chip run I’m sure (don’t forget the ongoing fundraising at https://www.justgiving.com/page/julie-wiggins-1702211341014) but there are a few other things going on which I now members are attending such as: Bath Festival of Motoring 17-18 June ‘24 https://www.bathfestivalofmotoring.com/ Middlewick House open garden 8-9 June ’24 https://middlewickhouseopengarden.com/ And of course the restarted Taffia Breakfast on Saturday 4 May ’24 https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/401-taffia-breakfast/ Please RSVP via this link so Andrew can judge numbers for the table booking. Big Picnic takes place on the 1 June https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/341-the-big-picnic/ We’ve got the approvals in place too from The Wishing Well for the Weigh Your Car for PCR on the 18 June. Details to follow so please keep an eye on: https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/events/event/370-severn7s-pub-meet-plus-weigh-your-car-for-pcr/ Have you also bought your raffle tickets for the Supercar Fest yet? https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/news/charity/charity-raffle-your-chance-to-experience-supercar-heaven-r652/ Can I also take this opportunity to repeat two items from my post in March, on the subject of the WhatsApp Group ‘rules’ and the need for Volunteers; please take the time to read what follows: WhatApp: Whilst the Area WhatApp groups are not an official Club communication channel, it is recognised that they are popular way of communicating, although hopefully the new website will take over in large part. To ensure they remain a safe space, there has been some discussion at Club level about guidance around the WhatsApp group which Areas might adopt, taking a lead from Rule of Conduct which apply to BlatChat. Slightly adjusted for a WhatsApp group they would read: “By using the Area WhatsApp you agree not to: Post insulting, threatening or defamatory material. Post any material likely to cause undue annoyance, provocation, upset or embarrassment to any reasonable person. Use this forum to harass anyone, including but not limited to posting personal or private information and images. Reproduce, without permission, private emails, or other forms of private correspondence. Post material or links to material that may be considered pornographic, violent, racist, sexist, voyeuristic or unlawful, or which may otherwise be judged to be offensive. Repeatedly posting commercial adverts for your own commercial gain. Occasionally reminding members that you offer a service in response to a relevant discussion is appropriate. Repeated or unsolicited posts are not. Impersonate another Club member. Posting content on this forum that personally attacks another forum member or contains profanity or any type of racial, religious, gender-based or ethnic slur will result in immediate removal from this WhatApp group. You are also reminded that posting material that infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights is against WhatsApp terms and conditions. Whilst WhatsApp is a semi-private platform, you are advised not to name companies or individuals in relation to allegations or accusations of malpractice, fraud or other criminal or civil offences. If you have a complaint about a product or service provided by a company or a person please take this up with them directly. And remember that what you post can be copied and sent to the person/company.” Hopefully, nothing in here anyone could object to? The other aspect to be aware of is that some non-Club members may be on the WhatsApp groups, although if that is the case hopefully, they see the value and join the Club. It would be ideal if the WhatsApp group is ‘members only’ of course. I would also add that the Area WhatsApp is not externally moderated. Volunteers – Your Club Needs You! The operation of the Club cannot happen without a willing group of volunteers to fill the various roles. If you can help, contact Richard via chair@caterhamlotus7.club to discuss suitable roles. The Taffia AR role really needs to be filled for one thing! happy blatting!! Helen
