Branch query: Cov and District, Warks or Rugby

Post by UOGMoggie »

Hello all

Is anyone a member of the above branches - Coventry and District, Warwickshire or Rugby?

I've had no luck trying to find someone to work on my Traveller so thought I would go along to a meeting, meet some like minded people and hopefully find someone who is looking for a bit of work!

There doesn't seem to be much Minor action around here, if all else fails I may have to go over to Birmingham but it is a bit of a trek from here.

I'm on borrowed time with the Traveller in the back garden :-)

Any help appreciated.....

Don't give up if no one responds on here as not many of the membership use the site make direct contact with the branches concerned.
To give you an idea we have a 50 strong membership in our Branch but only 2 of us regularly use the site inspite of my sales pitch so to speak.
Cheers

Hi Lou - I'll give it a go - I've got to be in Leeds the following morning at 8am though! Do you meet regularly?

Hi UOGMoggie, Yes we meet 3rd Monday of each month at the same place. Even if we are going somewhere else we will always have someone "left behind" just in case anyone new should turn up. We also have several members who "help maintain" cars that our other members are not able to either from lack of knowledge or "age related illnesses"! Looking forward to meeting you Lou. :lol:

Why do you not join the MMOC ? You would then have all the info you need - The 3 branches you mention all meet every month within about 30mins drive of yourself - go to all 3 meetings then you would meet a large group of friendly helpful people with lots of advice.
