Nominations Closed

No further names have been submitted.

Tony (tonyh) has decided not to stand. I'm sure everyone will join me in thanking him for the amount of time he's put into the place. ClubScuderia wouldn't be the same without his input over the years. He's also a top bloke.

A vote thread will be opened in the club lounge per the timetable.

Manifesto - nosevi

Having been a member of Club Scuderia for a few years now, I put my name forward as I'd like to give something back to the club.

During the time that I've been a member I've tried to be involved with the club, not only online but also in the 'real world' by organising events for club members, most notably the RAF Scampton Families Days which raise money for 'Help For Heroes' and have been well attended by members in the past few years.

A position on the committee would allow me to further expand this aspect of the club. While I don't see Club Scuderia as in any way being a rival of the FOC (I'm a member of both), I do think there is more we can do to expand our events and meets in the future and this would be a focus of my time on the committee if I were to be elected. I have a background that includes organising large events, fund raising and being responsible for large budgets (the budget for running a military airfield is substantial) and would bring this experience with me if I am elected to the committee.

Although Gordon and I are running 'against' each other I think that voting for either of us would be a positive move. While it's obvious that there are far more of our beloved Ferraris 'down south' it's also true that the committee and active moderators are all from that part of the UK. Adding a committee member from north of Watford can only be a positive thing for the club as it will expand the committee's geographical footprint and I'm sure that, like me, Gordon would be active in promoting the club further afield.

Recent elections have seen an extremely small turnout. This is your club. Whether you want me or Gordon on the committee cast your vote. It's your club, your committee so your choice.

Oh, and the last thing I'll add is that if you vote for me I may even stop posting about golf......... although I'm going to leave that one as an 'aspiration' rather that electoral promise if that's ok

Manifesto - mon the fish

I'll try and keep the waffle to the minimum and keep this short.

I'm Gordon, 33 and live in Alford, NE Scotland. I run the Post Office in the village where I live.

I am a relatively new member on here (less than 2 years, and an owner for just over 1 year), and so far have only met one other member and spoke to one on the phone. However, I put myself forward for the position as I believe that you get back what you put in. It is important to me to contribute and help for the future of the forum. You have to volunteer and get involved. I'm not a prolific poster but I do want to help.

I am an enthusiastic owner, and would like to foster closer links with the FOC Area Groups. I am shortly to be confirmed as the AGO for my area, and will be doing all that I can to organise and promote events, encourage members to join here and contribute. I would also like to expand the geographical coverage of CS, so we have more representation across the UK. At times I almost feel like I could be your 'Continental Correspondent' (apologies to Jenks) :grin:

A forum is owned by its members, who should have the final say. Do we want closer links with the FOC, informal or formal? Should we organise more runs? Where? How about Cars and Coffee meets? Do we want closer links with either one or more dealers, for launches etc?

We need to be at a stage where either a prospective or new owner of a 599 for example signs up here as their first port of call, for all the info they need, and they then stay as both the social aspect (online and offline) and day-to-day running advice and support keeps them here.
