Membership Renewal

1

As advised via a direct email to all members and by a posted message to the group, this group is being reorganized.  Existing members are asked to renew their membership by completing and returning the re-registration form sent out with both emails and also available in the Files section.  The reasons for the reorganization were sent out with the emails and is also available in the Files section.

The origonal cut-off date was put at the end of September.  Due to the abysmal response - 36 out of 200! - this date is being shortened to 31 August.  Anyone who has not responded by then will be removed from the membership list.

Membership Renewal 2011

At the beginning of August 2009, the Syncro_T3_Australia group underwent an extensive reorganization, the principal feature of which was the requirement for all members to re-register.   This had been made necessary by the presence on the membership list of anonymous traders who were using the group for free advertising to a captive audience.  The membership list was also thickly populated with anonymous members of whom we knew nothing.

Syncro_T3_Australia is a mutual technical support and advice group which has no need of anonymous members or anonymous traders.  It is a lot easier to give support and advice when we know whom we are supporting so we asked all members to identify themselves and establish their bona fifes.  The new membership requirements rectified that.  The anonymous traders disappeared overnight and every member on the list is now known.

To maintain this, memberships will be confirmed each year.  (I intended to call for renewals in August 2010 but difficult personal circumstances made this impossible.)

To confirm you membership, please reply to this email, including you full actual name, not your user name.     This is an important requirement because I otherwise have no ready means of relating user names to actual names.

Anyone who does not reply within four weeks will be dropped from the membership list.

August 2011 sees us entering the eighth year of Syncro_T3_Australia.  The progenitor of the group began in January 2004, when I started an email newsletter and sent it to the handful of Syncro owners for whom I had email addresses.  In August of that year, I decided that creating a dedicated Internet technical support and advice group would work a lot better. 

At that time, the choice of free internet groups was very limited and I went with the most widely used, which was Yahoo.  The Yahoo format is a bit on the clunky side but has served us well over these years. 

Mark Kofahl has established a website, www.syncro.com.au, which is as smooth as the Yahoo site is clunky.  It contains extensive picture albums and we will look at making more use of it as a readily accessible repository for Syncro information in the future.

I give my personal thanks to the long-standing members here and overseas who have contributed so much over these years; these are the people who turned the concept of a mutual technical support and advice resource into a reality. 

My thanks go also to my two back-ups, moderators Francesca Coles and Mark Kofahl.

Peter,

This email was sent to all current members at their Yahoo email address; the fact that you have received this confirms that your Yahoo email address is valid.   I don’t have access to members’ passwords so that part of it is down to you.   See if you can resurrect it.   If all eventually fails, get back to me and I will use a function available to me by which I can direct join a member.

In the interim, I will lodge you as having responded.

HI Les.

Eight years - wow! It is amazing that time passes so quickly.

Although I am not active on the list (due mainly to being so busy) I still read through the daily digest every day.

It is a shame that personal circumstances are causing you to be unable to act as you would wish, and I wish you all the best.

Hi Les. Please keep me on the register it's invaluable. Thanks. Bill Sullivan.(Nambucca Heads). Quite a lot has been happyning in our Syncro world in the last month. My telstra syncro project vehicle that has been 4 years in progress was registered last week much to the excitement of my son Max who is looking forward to the first camping trip. He's 23 and owned a lovely 2wd t3 for 3 years and cant wait to get behind the wheel of the syncro. Now he won't be pestering to borrow mine. Also my daily driver syncro has just come back from 6 weeks in the paint shop after a full glass out 2 pack respray. Very exciting having two going shiny syncros in the driveway. Maintenance may be the death of me but what a way to go. Bill.

Membership Renewal 2011

At the beginning of August 2009, the Syncro_T3_Australia group underwent an extensive reorganization, the principal feature of which was the requirement for all members to re-register.   This had been made necessary by the presence on the membership list of anonymous traders who were using the group for free advertising to a captive audience.  The membership list was also thickly populated with anonymous members of whom we knew nothing.

Syncro_T3_Australia is a mutual technical support and advice group which has no need of anonymous members or anonymous traders.  It is a lot easier to give support and advice when we know whom we are supporting so we asked all members to identify themselves and establish their bona fifes.  The new membership requirements rectified that.  The anonymous traders disappeared overnight and every member on the list is now known.

To maintain this, memberships will be confirmed each year.  (I intended to call for renewals in August 2010 but difficult personal circumstances made this impossible.)

To confirm you membership, please reply to this email, including you full actual name, not your user name.     This is an important requirement because I otherwise have no ready means of relating user names to actual names.

Anyone who does not reply within four weeks will be dropped from the membership list.

August 2011 sees us entering the eighth year of Syncro_T3_Australia.  The progenitor of the group began in January 2004, when I started an email newsletter and sent it to the handful of Syncro owners for whom I had email addresses.  In August of that year, I decided that creating a dedicated Internet technical support and advice group would work a lot better. 

At that time, the choice of free internet groups was very limited and I went with the most widely used, which was Yahoo.  The Yahoo format is a bit on the clunky side but has served us well over these years. 

Mark Kofahl has established a website, www.syncro.com.au, which is as smooth as the Yahoo site is clunky.  It contains extensive picture albums and we will look at making more use of it as a readily accessible repository for Syncro information in the future.

I give my personal thanks to the long-standing members here and overseas who have contributed so much over these years; these are the people who turned the concept of a mutual technical support and advice resource into a reality. 

My thanks go also to my two back-ups, moderators Francesca Coles and Mark Kofahl.

Hi Les. Please keep me on the register it's invaluable. Thanks. Bill Sullivan.(Nambucca Heads). Quite a lot has been happyning in our Syncro world in the last month. My telstra syncro project vehicle that has been 4 years in progress was registered last week much to the excitement of my son Max who is looking forward to the first camping trip. He's 23 and owned a lovely 2wd t3 for 3 years and cant wait to get behind the wheel of the syncro. Now he won't be pestering to borrow mine. Also my daily driver syncro has just come back from 6 weeks in the paint shop after a full glass out 2 pack respray. Very exciting having two going shiny syncros in the driveway. Maintenance may be the death of me but what a way to go. Bill.
