I think the name Essex RSOC is used because we used to be affiliated with the RSOC in general but because of alot of problems encountered, the Essex group decided to be a lone club, willing to do their own things, still attending most of the shows all over, but not National Day.
I myself dont know the ins and outs of the disagreements etc, but I accept Alex's views and feel that as he runs a great group with a fantastic turnout of cars, with trophies, banners, cars of the night etc,
The amount of hard work that he puts into the Essex Group is superb, and lets not forget hes doing it for "US", not himself with no earnings either, and he also organises the Passionford Meet in Herts aswell!!!
If Alex were to leave the Group and give up the helm, then i can only assume it would turn into a meet every 2nd tuesday, where we just turn up and go home with no real interaction between us all as a 'group'.
Got to be said in the 13 or so years as an Essex Member ive not seen it any better, so as alot of Essex members will agree, Alex, you do a sterling job mate.

As for Why are we called Essex RSOC?......Because we are "Simply the Best"!!!..... and obviously a group of people from Essex who own RSs!!!...Simple....!!!!!
