I want to acknowledge the tremendous efforts that Barry Rowe put in over the years providing the club with a site, and appreciate that the time spent on such projects often exceeds what one would think looking from the other side of the glass.The re-launch is going to occur as a rolling out, new features will be announced every few days until ultimately the entire site is up and running. During this period we will maintain a link to the old site to ensure you can find any items that you would normally have found there.
We have had a lot of interest in the re-launch, and it is rewarding to see so many keen observers. My intention was to get our new site going early this year, and many of you have been patiently waiting, and being very diplomatic as you asked when we may come up. Life has been busy, and has frequently put the site on the back burner; and clearly that back burner wasn’t even turned on!
I do want to make a very important statement at this point; this is our club, it belongs to each and every member, and it can only be as good as we make it. We have seen a significant amount of work spread over a fairly small team year after year. When I recognized that I was enjoying the club without giving back I decided to sit down and do something for the club – wow, do you quickly appreciate how hard people have worked for us once you do a small part yourself.
Now it’s time to do your part. Many of you have stories to tell, you may have a tale to tell about a TVR you once owned, or perhaps a story of a road trip, a restoration, a car show, racing experience. In fact I don’t want to define what you may have to share, what I do want to ask is that you do share. Please take some time to write an article. Your article will be reviewed and posted to the articles page on the web site. Some articles may also be used in upcoming issues of the TVR Times, our club newsletter.

President’s ColumnFirst of all, hello to all of you TVR fans and TVRCCNA Club members. I want to thank former TVRCCNA Webmaster Barry Rowe for his almost 10 years of devotion to the original TVRCCNA Website, and also to our new Webmaster Rob Stewart for his excellent redesign of the site and all its potential. I hope our membership will utilize this site on a regular basis and contribute to it with articles, and any other submissions that will enhance the overall content of the site. Now, to bring people up to date. First of all, an apology to all our members for the fact that I have been in a bit of hibernation over the past 9-10 months. Following my brother’s death last summer, I began to fall into a rather deep depression, of which even I was not aware until earlier this year when my family finally opened my eyes to what I had been dealing with and I sought the help of my physician. It’s been a long road, but with some medication and lots of support, I’m on the road to recovery. However, in those months, basically the TVRCCNA also went into hibernation which meant virtually nothing got done except for the ongoing efforts of a few people, particularly Events Chairman Tony Hess who has been diligently working on our upcoming “Out of the Woodwork” 2010 event the last weekend of September in Pennsylvania. (see all the details elsewhere on this site).
Not only is our “Out of the Woodwork” coming up soon, but it also marks the 30th anniversary of the very first Woodwork event which was held in October 1981 at Forest Lodge near Warren, NJ. Despite the late start on notifying everyone of this, I hope a sizeable number of you, even with shorter than usual notice, will make the effort to attend this special anniversary event. We would also like to encourage any of you who were actually at the very first Woodwork in 1981 to make a special effort to join us this year. We would love to have some of those people share some stories about that very first event which began the annual ‘Woodwork’ tradition.
Most of all, we want to hear from our membership and we very much want our members to contribute in any way possible, no matter how small or large their contribution. Even if it’s nothing more than occasionally contributing something to the website or the TVR TIMES, or helping to organize even a small gathering of fellow TVR enthusiasts in their region, or just helping out at an event during the year, remember, THIS IS YOUR CLUB, and it will succeed or fail based on the efforts put forth by our membership base, not just two or three of our leadership team.
So, let us hear from you, support not only your club, but also businesses that support the TVR hobby. We are a small but valuable group, so let’s all support each other.
I look forward to seeing a lot of you at Woodwork this year and at other events in the coming year.
