Default A big welcome to all Clubbies

G'day all,

First things first. Many thanks to the gang at Ford Forums for opening their door to us and letting us participate in our own section on their site. It will be much appreciated by all our Clubbies. Beers and Cheers guys :

To all the XR6 & XR8 Club of Qld Clubbies welcome. It has been a hard time for us not being able to communicate since our site went down a couple of weeks ago. We are working hard on rectifing the situation but as we all know these things can take a little time so please be patiant. In the mean time please feel free to use this as a means to keep in touch.

I would ask that we all abide by the FF terms conditions. I think being here will allow us to foster great relationships with our brothers and sisters all over the country so it can only be good.

Again thanks to all involved and get posting.

Cheers,

Ken. J.
Interim President
XR6 & XR8 Club of Qld

Hi all
This Ford Forums is a fantastic site and shows just how great they are for letting us have an area eh... well done & thanks.

Apart from missing the communication factor with club members I really must admit I have missed the games from the site Ken...hint, hint, LOL
Im sure all members will be patient while things are fixed up and its great to have a bloke that is well liked and respected sitting as leader (Is it a possibility as a permanent arrangement - or shouldnt I ask that????)

Its great to be able to communicate with clubbies again, really looking forward to Sunday (could be quite a challenge lol).

Cheers
Kerri

Hi Guys. Congrats Ken on the pres position. I am like many other clubies have been surfing the other sites and traditionaly read the FF site, These guys are teriffic to allow us excess and we thank you. I am sure there are many stories about the trials and tribulation of our treasured club, however this just builds a more determined ambition to become bigger and better than ever. Myself and Jen will catch the club run at 1.30pm for lunch. Once again thanks to the champions at Ford Forums.

Kev.

Default Found you all at last

Hi Guys
I have found you all again. I have been so busy and travelling so much that I have been unable to get to anything.
Hopefully as the year progresses I can start to wind down again.
I look foward to catching up soon at a cruise.

Yes, I agree. It's good to see the club get back on it's feet. I am not an "official" member and new to this site even after being associated (and still am) with 'another' forum for almost an eternity...lol, so it seems. A fresh start is always good. I do know some good people in the QLD XR club. Well done FF for bringing them onboard and good luck with the rebirth of the site guys and gals.
