Great review Colm, its a perfect summation of the FTO social scene over the past 12 months.

Kudos to everyone who attended events in 2008. I never fail to be amazed at how a small niche model club manage to get such great meets off the ground time after time. Special thanks to Colm for his work in this regard over the past number of months.

Remember, your attendence is key to successful events - I for one am looking forward to an event packed calandar in 2009.

There is indeed, however, the feature has been offline for some time. I believe I've resolved the issue - Colm, if you want a mail sent to all members re upcoming meets, let me know and I'll put the fix to the test.

Nicely put together review Colm, and thanks to all those involved in organising them. And to those who attend and make them such craic, I'm always amazed at the turn out these events get considering the rarity of the car.
Looking forward to 2009!
