I thing the biggest mystery at the moment is "Who is interested in going???"
Brett as / is putting a lot of time and effort to populate the social calandar for the club / US, but where is the response from the members?? If you have any feelings, positive or negative, then let the committee know / chip in at meetings. If you have an idea, then let's hear it, eg Segway riding, zip line gliding through the trees, bush walking, day trips to x y z.

![]() I think we should call all the FTF Car Club Events a Christmas Party & tell them that there will be presents for everyone from now on. ![]() That's the real Mystery. I saw all these people at the last Xmas Party enjoying themselves but have not seen them since, but I've got a hunch that I will see them again at the next Christmas Party. There is no Mystery that some of the Members of the Club didn't like the way the Club was being run, so they left. ![]() There is no Mystery that the Current Committee is doing a great job of keeping the Club going despite the poor turn outs, rain & weather. There is nothing Mysterious about the way that the Committee is still going to keep running events for all of it's Members, so for all those who are sitting on their ***** waiting for it to fold, I've got bad news for you. The FTF Car Club is a good Club & those that are attending events are dogged about building the Club up, finding more members & getting on with it. The Mystery Tour on the 30th would be a great opportunity for all it's members to get out, blow the cob-webs off, Shake it out, get over it & have a good time. ![]()

![]() Update, Update, Update. FYI - I've learnt that the Mystery Tour is about a 2/3 Hour Drive to get there with some challenging bits. So make sure you're fuelled up before you go & try to get a good night sleep. ![]()

It's a Mystery Cruise, so no one knows except for the Organiser.
What I can say is that our destination will be food accessible. I'd otherwise bring drinks & munchies to appease the Kids.

![]() For the benefit of yourself & any other FTF Members, the Ford Forums isn't the best way to pass on information as a Club. If you haven't noticed, there are only 4 or so Members using it. So we can't use this as an indication of who's going. It's the same deal with the Face book page. All our members have been asked to go on to the FTF Face book page & Click going, if you are going. So we know who is going. Currently there are only 2 Members marked as going. Paul & I. I know that the event organiser is going, so that's 3, & if you go it would make 4. But you never know who will show up on the day. This is why I've started sending notices to everyone via e-mail. If you are not receiving these, you will need to send me your email address of choice via my email address. Feel free to call me if I can help

If the ford forums isn't the best way to pass it on, shouldn't we then Just ditch the Forums??? So then for future events, rather than saying, please put your name down below (like i did), we say, "please click going on the facebook page"
The purpose of my last post was to try and create more conversation in the hope that someone else notices these posts and says, "i should go". Unless we start friendly club banter and conversation on social media, it will appear that we are a boring club for any ford owner surfing the web at home thinking of joining a club. Also, posting something to our page regularly will make our topic appear on the main page of Ford forums (until another club posts something)

Hi Mikeeford, sorry to hear that you are out, but appreciate your comments on here, and you are right... i see that different folk work with different cons channels, some web, and the new comer on the block with Facebook, not forgetting good old e-mail (but that comes can not be seen outside of the circle).
Hello world....!!!... We head of in the morning, anyone else joining us??

![]() If I wasn't all for using the Forums as a Community Chat room & a means of participating in Club discussion I wouldn't bother with it. I agree, our Members should be using the Forums to Chat about upcoming events & yes, so we don't look Boring. To Clarify, It has become obvious that our members aren't using the Forums, so It is not the effective way to indicate the participation on events. Although that was the Intention. It's the same with the face book. It's intention was for the Events to be put on there & for the Members to click if they where going to attend, But Alas. A lot of work goes into organising events & it's very disappointing to see that Members are getting cheesed off & frustrated with it. Unfortunately, it's a trial & error process, there's going to be hits & Misses so it would be nice if everyone understood that. ![]()

Author - Jeff....
The Mystery Cruise turned out to be a great ride that took us from Bella Vista down to Wisemans Ferry, along the River to Mangrove Mt across to Laguna & to our destination at Mulla Villa for a Yummy Lunch. We then headed up to Wollambi, across to Paxton then Mt Vincent & then down to Freemans Waterhole where we joined the M1 & headed home. Thanks to Brett for leading the Way. ---> we look forward to future events, and seeing you along for the ride....
