This guy knows^ but then again he would, he knows how frustrating it can be trying to get members to commit, knowing that they could just be people who will mess you about and that we may or may not get the members on board to make a decent looking stand. Last year was my first in charge of the group, for my first show I wouldn't say I did too bad seeing as the previous was only interested if he got a free ticket, still we managed a fair few and yet broke that number at Expo, even though 3-4 of our main members weren't present. As Vexs said, it isn't that were looking down our noses, but we wouldn't have the club stand if we let car other variant on too

I have to agree with Vexs and LiamMiller on this guys, sorry. As much as it would be awesome to see a good turnout for the info crew at FCS, there just aren't enough members willing to make it happen, the scene is constantly changing and people are wanting better cars than a 206.
It's also a no from me in relation to having info to one side of the 180 stand, the 3 of us work hard at maintaining the group for new members or people who are in the process of buying one but also organising stands for shows, although these are only FCS and FCS Expo, it would seem pointless having a stand at FCS otherwise.
I've already organised a stand for info at FCS 2013 and although alot of people were keen, there wasn't a good turnout tbf which was disappointing since you got to spend time making sure people are buying their tickets and then keeping the organisers up to date etc. As Vexs as said, it's pretty much dead on here now and everyone is using facebook to discuss related issues etc, thats where the larger groups are nowadays.
To put this into perspective, FCS last year, info only had 3 cars on show, my advice would be, join the other peugeot groups on fb and attend FCS with them

Don't get me wrong, it is a good idea but would be pointless me, vexs and liammiller organising a 180 stand for this year

180 club is for 180s, hence you fellows would like to keep your brand pure, and I'd do the same if I were you.
Just like 180 club, M365 is our sister club too, let's see if we could join forces there (after all most of members are ex-infoers), so there would be a lot of info exchange on the day 
Pointless in spreading ourselves too thin and wandering off to other clubs, especially when not everyone's using Facebook, and even if they do, it takes time to get into a community, where in the end you just won't feel yourself at home (and everyone's understanding of home is different). My home is where 206 is  and where I can get and give info about her, and great people that are around, even if it's just a handful.
In the worst scenario even if we can't make it to Pugfest (lest FCS), I'll keep doing mini meets like we did last year, and couldn't feel happier

Facebook isn't to bad depending on how you use it in all honesty. I was anti-facebook a year ago and just joined with the intention of keeping it strictly networking within a car scene, no friends or family, just car folk. It's been decent so far, great source for parts.. I mean I picked up a set of Vortex's for £20 2 weeks ago.. cant be all that bad 
Met plenty of other people, we've kind of partnered with a secondary club also for non french based shows which is great as it opens up a lot more shows to attend for a lot of our members and with that comes track days, rolling road etc etc.
Anyway, if any of you guys do attend then stop by and say hello and if your camping then give us a heads up and come by Saturday night for a BBQ and a few beers and the usual car show antics, just bring your own food and beer and it's all good
