Hi I've just joined the club today as i intend to buy a BMW asap. Been a BMW fan since i was a child, but could never justify the insurance so got into Peugeots instead. I have been helping to run the countries largest Peugeot club and ran monthly Wiltshire meetings with 20+ cars. What events and meets happen in the Wessex region, and what the profile of the region in terms of age, cars etc?

Hi Matt
The wessex region will be posting up all new events very soon. I will be meeting with the regional group organisers this week and should get some dates for shows this year to start posting. With regards to profile of the wessex region it has all ages and a good range af BMW's, there does not seem to be a majority of any car as it is well mixed across the whole range. I have been a member now for just over a year after being into RS's for years which I still am a member of the RSOC but have decided to dedicate most of my time now to BMW Car Club. I hope you find your new BMW soon and would welcome you to the club. Tristan Glass |

A Wessex committee meeting is to be held tonight, so watch this space, and also upcoming "Straight Six" newsletters and Magazines for more information about all the eexciting things that will happen this year!! All that we ask is that the members support and participate - if you don't put anything in, please don't complain if you get nothing out !! Andrew Griffin (Wessex Region member - also National Committee/Board DIrector/Company Secretary) Let's make it happen

Once my car is sorted I will try to get to as many meets etc as I can, the ferry crossings will be the main problem unfortunately...very expensive, but I will do my best. ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

 Goldryder, Good to hear from the Islands around the UK.I hear there are quite a few fans on the Island, why dont you form the Alcatraz section of the Wessex region?.Had someone else on the forum month ago, suggested they could organise your meet ups for skill contest, karting competition, show n shine, scatter Rally, Dealer visit (snows) all this on the island to save those fares.Have a chat with Snows parts Dept, put up a notice "Calling all BMW enthuiasts" to a pub meet & Lunch perhaps.You have a great new team looking after members in Wessex Region, they also visit IOW from time to time, perhaps in the future an Island Fest. ------------- SAFETYFAST |

B 7... Having never been involved with owners clubs before, I wouldn't know where to start, but with help from people over here, I guess I could give it a go once my car is back on the road and all sorted....
I am willing to learn...just need someone to guide me thru the maze of what has to be done, how and when...
