[Glenn Butcher]

Hello all!
 
5 years - who would have thought hey!
 
Clive helped me refresh my poor memory telling me that we had met once before \'that phonecall!\' - it was at JAE in 2001...
 
...anyways, \'that phonecall\' - I was on my way to the RX-7 Club meeting that Clive had mentioned, I was lost and running late (dumb Aussie! ). Clive asked me if I would like to start a new club over the phone - and I said yes??
 
As far as I knew there was no club that existed in the UK for Rotary Powered vehicles other than RX-7\'s - turns out I was right. Actually when I first joined the RX-7 Club here, I didn\'t even have an RX! and they wondered why I wanted to join! For interest one of the First posts on the Forum was for my brothers JC Cosmo: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9
 
For those of you that have been around rotors (I have since the late 80\'s), know they are very hard to live without. Moving over from Australia in 1998, I had been completely starved of Rotary Power for a few years on arriving here! In Australia - every schoolboy knows what Rotary Power is, I think it just may be getting that way here in the UK
 
I am so happy to have said yes to helping establish a new club here in the UK 5 years ago. We have come so far, Clive\'s ideas and mine have worked really well. BUT - NONE OF WHAT WE HAVE TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT LISA!!! She does so much behind the scene\'s: New Member Packs and all that is involved with them!, Accounts, organising events and car passes, Merchandise, you name it!!!!!! So a HUGE personal thanks and hats off to Lisa!
 
One amazing fact is that when Clive started out with MRC he didn\'t even have a PC. Clive - Internet? huh???!!! which I think is a great personal achievement by him.
 
Something that I am amazed by is that the whole scene has changed here over the years. I think out of all people interested in cars 5 years ago - hardly anybody knew anything about the Mazda Rotary. But now - I think everyone who knows about cars - knows about the mighty Rotary! I\'m hoping that the Club has helped progress the scene here in the UK to what it is today. But everyone who has stuck in there like all our Vendors, Members, supporters and the Club itself have played a major role - so thanks to you all!!!!!!
 
Events like ROTORSTOCK started really as a bit of a dream for us, essentially the aim of the club all along has been to raise awareness of the Mazda Rotary - and to show people how strong the Rotary Community is, even though it is small on the worldwide scale. I think that if you asked any Rotary enthusiast around the world - \'What is mazdarotaryclub.com?\' and they would tell us that it is a huge UK Club!
 
Our Internet Forum is and has always been and will be! one that is for the family. That may not be what everyone wants, but it is what we want - to help progress the Rotary here in the UK and the world as much as possible.
 
Maybe one day we will even get some serious recognition from Mazda themselves. We have always had strong connections with Mazda, but not in the UK - it would really be something to get Mazda more involved and maybe - who knows!!?!?!?! 1991 Le Mans winner to one of our Club Events - like ROTORSTOCK! There really aren\'t that many Car Clubs in the world that can hold such an event - so we should be all very proud!
 
My personal vision has always been to promote the Mazda Rotary as much as possible, and I\'m very fortunate to be in the position I\'m in to help do this.
 
For ROTORSTOCK 4 - it is simply sensational news! Clive and I met with David and Jo at Santa Pod last week. They were very aware of ROTORSTOCK and were keen to host the event which was great news for us. Lots of work to do of course, but Santa Pod have a great infustructure in place - all going well we may even be able to get some International Racers coming over/up etc.!
 
Thanks again to all of you for supporting the Club over the years!
 
Best REgards,
Glenn

what dates in august is it so i can put it on my calendar ?

[mar71n]

Mark, Glenn will tell you that when we were negotiating if the meeting would be going to Santa Pod I was very forceful in telling them that if this event went to Santa Pod it had to be for Jap cars only with Jap engines, No Jap bikes and No Jap body shells with V8 American donkeys under the hood !

Take it from this I won`t be welcome. OK fair enough. Have a good event & happy birthday.
