    BuhBye!

    All,

    Due to personal reasons I am standing down from Clubvr4 entirely, please note that this has no bearing on anyone, this is a personal choice which I think will aid cvr4 for the coming years.

    I would like to thank the following people for making this club what it is today.

    Pete - For being they’re since day one supporting me/club during the hard times – couldn’t have done it without you – sorry for the coarse words I said before, they were not meant.
    Andy - For making sure all of our members received their membership packs, adding that personal touch. fantastic just bloody fantastic couldn’t have done it without you.
    Kieran – I never could have asked for a better, warmer funnier and more welcoming committee member as you, you are one of a kind you really are.
    Nick – For ensuring that ever single Clubvr4 event was dry! I mean.. for ensuring each one was a total success and well received by all attendees – top notch work Nick.
    Richard – Richard thank you for everything and in particular all the work you done on the library – I hope you start feeling better soon!
    Previous UK Committee – Big thank you to all of our previous committee members, again without your help, support and assistance we would not have been here today.
    KiwiTT – Richard thank you for making Clubvr4NZ what it is today, long may CVR4NZ Continue.
    NZ Committee – I wish you all the best with CVR4NZ - I still cant believe you guys aren’t huge yet.. there are millions of vr4s out there!
    The Members – above everyone its you who have made this club what it is today, without you there would be no clubvr4, without you clubvr4 would be nothing – for this I stand up and applaud out loud each and everyone of you.

    I will miss each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart, I will not be attending any future events as I feel this would break my heart.

    Please do not forget the 3 F’s A Fun / Family / Friendly Club.

    Peace out ya’ll
    Love
    Me

    This is without a doubt the saddest thing I have ever seen on CVR4.

    I'll miss you more than you'll ever know, boss. CVR4 without Barry is something I can't entirely imagine at the moment. Indeed - something about which I don't even want to think.

    Thanks for creating this club - it is now my life and one of my loves. I will always feel indebted to you for letting me enjoy myself through these pages and at Club meets.

    I truly hope that you can make it back here at some point. Without a doubt you will be welcomed happily and enthusiastically by all.

    I don't think I could have put it better myself...

    Sorry to see you go Barry, hope that any new direction you take leads to success.

    Best of luck.

    This is the darkest day in CVR4's history. CVR4 is Barry, through and through.

    Without him we would not exist, and without him it won't ever be the same.

    The old saying "from little acorns......" is never more true than in the case of this club, and Barry was the leader and driving force behind this.

    Whilst we are all still in shock, we also have to respect your decision to leave, and please take our love and sincere thanks for everything you have done for CVR4.

    So many people owe you so much.

    TC mate

    WooT!!!???? But...but..but...but....

    You can't go. Resignation refused - get back in the kitchen.

    We'll be lost. Wandering around homeless, leading pointless lives, turning to drugs, prostitution, sheep...

    I'm shocked, perplexed and confused.

    I hope everything is ok mate. Need any pills , you know where to look....

    The Kierancorp Secret service is interested in hearing from anyone who has red hair, likes wearing a spook uniform, and enjoys nocturnal barbecues. Funny handshake optional.

    Put simply............ Gutted!

    I just wish we could persuade you to stay - It's like someone's turned down the lights a notch. Life without Barry at the helm isn't a pleasant thought, but we shall continue the great club you created.

    Wishing you all the best and lots of

    Kieran

    Very sad to see our leader go. Like so many others on here, this ClubVR4 thing that he started has become a major part part of our life over the past few years, enabling so many entertaining days / weekends and even short holidays! Also the people and good friends we have met through this club are quite unbelievable, and for this we thank you Barry. Oh and the car info ain't bad either! We sincerely wish you all the best and hope you'll drop by from time to time. You're always welcome here.

    Don't know the reasons behind your decision Barry, but I for one am sorry to see you go. I hope you can be persuaded to remain as Honorary President for Life. As others have said, the Club wouldn't exist without you. My very best wishes for whatever you do next ...

    All the Best Barry.

    Thank you for your kind words above. But as you say in the end it is the members who have made the club.
    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here
