Car Forum / Citroen Cars / June 2007International Citroën SM Meet Last Weekend
Hi guys - I wonder if there are any online galleries of the International Citroën SM meet last weekend in the UK. I think it was a bit of a jaunt around the UK, but a group of us SAABers from West Yorkshire happened across them at Whitby. Here's a small selection of our pictures: <http://www.saabphotos.com/gallery/albums/Orca_WY_02062007/DSCF5075.jpg> <http://www.saabphotos.com/gallery/albums/Orca_WY_02062007/DSCF5074.jpg> <http://www.saabphotos.com/gallery/albums/Orca_WY_02062007/DSCF5078.jpg> Lovely cars ... There was a lone DS there, too: <http://www.saabpages.co.uk/galleries/Whitby_Saab_020607/P0002697.JPG> ... We'd love to see more :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S 1992 900S Convertible (from Singapore) http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ >Hi guys - I wonder if there are any online galleries of the International >Citroën SM meet last weekend in the UK.

The "do" was a perambulate around the UK over that weekend, taking in a number of places and journeys. I'd still love to see some pictures from the attendees.

I've not seen any yet, either (apart from yours!) - and I'm webmaster for the Citroen Car Club... www.semantics.uk.com is the site for the SM section of the club - they'll either have some or point you to somebody who has. <snip> > I've not seen any yet, either (apart from yours!) - and I'm > webmaster for > the Citroen Car Club... As in http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/ ? If so, might I suggest that the 'new' site and the message in the first paragraph is getting some what long in the tooth considering that (as of today [1]) the most recent news item is both more than a month old and out of date whilst the 'boxed' content is even older... Not a very good impression!

Good point, well made. This is too bad. I had thought that it was only the north-american groups that were growing moribund. > :Jerry: (INVALID@INVALID.INVALID) gurgled happily, sounding much like they > were saying : [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Good point, well made. > This is too bad.

Oh, the CCC's far from "moribund" - it's just that that particular bit of text hasn't been updated for a while, and there's been no "news items" posted, because everybody's out there _driving_ their cars... >> This is too bad.

Some of the regional sections of the web site seem "moribund" though, I've just looked (again) at the southern section and it hasn't changed since 2004 - despite the 33155 page views, how disappointing many of those will be and how many will decide that they won't join just yet myself included... - pity. Nice shot of a 2CV shell being united with it's chassis on the production line though, it needs to be as it's the only content! :Jerry: (INVALID@INVALID.INVALID) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : > Some of the regional sections of the web site seem "moribund" though, > I've just looked (again) at the southern section and it hasn't changed > since 2004 I don't write the content... >> Some of the regional sections of the web site seem "moribund" though, >> I've just looked (again) at the southern section and it hasn't >> changed since 2004 > I don't write the content... (clarifies) ...for model or section pages - that's the responsibility of the model columnist/section or the regional group/section. I can't *force* people to write stuff, only encourage them. > :Jerry: (INVALID@INVALID.INVALID) gurgled happily, sounding much > like they [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I don't write the content... My point was it's pointless having pages without content, especially if they don't change from one year to the next (it gives an impression of being "moribund"), might I suggest either taking the content-less page(s) down or perhaps using a php script to have a random slideshow? Please don't take this as a flame, it's certainly not intended that way, just some user feed back - judging from the sample pages from the 'Citroenian' magazine, that alone is probably worth the membership fee, is there any way of sending off for a back copy / sample? :Jerry: (INVALID@INVALID.INVALID) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : > My point was it's pointless having pages without content, especially > if they don't change from one year to the next (it gives an impression > of being "moribund"), might I suggest either taking the content-less > page(s) down or perhaps using a php script to have a random slideshow? I'll have a good go through, and kick arses as appropriate... > Please don't take this as a flame Oh, understood... > it's certainly not intended that way, just some user feed back - judging > from the sample pages from the 'Citroenian' magazine, that alone is > probably worth the membership fee, It's now up to more than 100 pages *every* month... > is there any way of sending off for a back copy / sample? Contact membership@citroencarclub.org.uk for an info pack - or, if you're near Huntingdon, come to the annual rally at Wood Green over the weekend of 14th July. I suppose, before I expire, I should spend a winter scanning all of my 2-1/2 foot stack's worth of back issues of the various U.S. Citroen club newsletters and post them to the net somewhere. At the very least, we could cry over the used car prices.
