Default Stepping Down :O(

Hi Gents & Ladies

You may all of seen the following post:
https://passionford.com/forum/general-car-related-discussion/229238-passionford-at-the-shows.html

Well as you may read I've decided to step down from running the PF Show stands & let someone else take over.

It's been 3 years in the making & hopefully you've all enjoyed the shows / stands whilst I've been doing it, but this year has become very hard & busy for me already & we are only in March,,,pmsl!!

I am sorry to step down as I do love doing it, just I have a lot going on with work & have moved up there to suppose management if you like so there is a lot of pressure on me there & time taken, also I'm moving in with my other half & we have been doing the place up since November, so thats also keeping me very busy,,,,,its never ending right now!!
Will all be worth it in the end though

Just with the way things are right now I wouldn't have much time left (I don't now let alone when Show season really kicks off,,,lol) to find time for myself let alone anything else.

I'll still be there to help Paulie & will point him in the right direction as his said, but THANK YOU PAUL, for taking this off my hands As said to you already I won't vanish & dump it all on you.

It "IS" hard work I don't deny that!! It WILL take up a lot of time & effort, but its worth it in the end

I would like to say a HUGE thank you though to all that have helped me out over the years There are so many names to list I'd be here all night, you know who you are so a big thanks to you guys

Also a massive thanks to all those who have come along to the shows with us whilst I've been doing it Thank you for being calm &,,,,,well genrally helping me out on the day, it really is most appreciated & Paul will come to see how much help you all do put in So thanks guys & girls

I'll still be coming along & as said be there for Paul, but instead your be bombarding him with PM's & last minute requests,,,pmsl

Good Luck to Paul & thanks from me I will see you Tuesday to talk everything through

Thanks again everyone & Thanks to PF for letting me use the Passion Ford name to get the stand up & running at the start Its come a long way in the 3 years of me running it & I'm positive Paul with continue to do a top job for us all

Thanks to everyone
Nikki

Nikki,
In my opinion, you have probably done more for PassionFord than any other single member on here and you have consistently just got on with it and done the job, selfleshly and consistently in the face of moans, groans and complaints, and regularly at your own expense. Not enough people on here appreciate what you have done or give you the respect you deserve for it. The same goes for all who have helped you out.

I am really sad that your calling it a day but i fully understand why you are doing it and i wish you all the best in your new carreer and life together with your fella. I hope life brings you all the good things that we all wish for.

Thanks Nikki. Seriously good job youve done. Pf wouldnt have been the same without your show stands, thats for certain.

Paul, you have PM so as not to clutter up Nikkis topic with politics.

well done on organising these shows over the last few years

you have always been a pleasure to deal with and often gone out of your way to sort some of us more 'disorganised' PF members

wish you luck in the future

AGHH!!

How frustrating can this get!!

Remember when you were kids and you'd ask ya mum for something and she's day... "Go and ask ya dad" or vice versa.....?

Well currentley i'm being passed from pillar to post with admin & Stu and its frustrating as all i wanna do is get the ball rolling, but now a suggestion has been made that the 'powers that be' might not want us to be at the shows!!

Watch this space for an advancement or monies to be returned!!
This post is for Nikki Mate and i refuse to clutter it up with politics. None of this mess is my fault directly or indirectly. I am hoping to find a solution on behalf of everyone as i am the only one in direct contact with IB management in the states. Who knows, I may even end up back as admin, but until then, i am simply a PF moderator with no more decision making power than you have. Sorry.

Well done for all the hard work and effort you've put in to show organising as I always say I find it hard enough sorting out 11 geezers, a pitch and a ref for a game of football

Thanks for the pass to Ford Fair last summer and at the last minute, would have been out in the cold if it wasn't for you

All the very best for the future
