Hi Clive,
Thanks for the insight on how an MVT Area Secretary thinks.
With people like you running MVT areas is there any wonder post war owners are Pee'ed off. If you organised your OWN show then you can say who comes but when you use the MVT you should include ALL members not just your WW2 friends and sod anyone else. Maybe every area should have a post war owner as secreatary and organising post war events and we will see how long it takes for the ww2 owners to become peeved. No doubt you are only using the MVT banner for this event so you can have the use of the insurance which is paid for by all mvt members in there subscription. When i joined the MVT i thought it was for all mv owners to get together as a group, display there vehicles and enjoy events as a club.
Your Comment - "In my experience and generally speaking the WWII vehicle owners are more proactive, spend less time grizzling about the PW members and just get on and achieve things" - Is it any wonder post war owners grizzle given your attitude to them.
As for 2nd armour they are there own group and dont advertise as mvt when doing there events. Maybe if you had organised your own event and not done it with the mvt and excluded other area members there would not be such a problem.
Ian.
