Hello dear FelixIbizaSwitzerland.

Thank you for your enthusiasm.

Attendance FORUM FORD GT will remain crucial, because it is THE place of reference for all enthusiasts of Ford GT.
*
Our European Club can substitut the real to the virtual, the meal around a good table to the numeric keypad, all that, with a little local flavor.

For now, our club still feels fresh paint, but we are working hard to make it comfortable for all.

We count on you in July, at Le Mans Classic.

I will provide the email address of the Club, as soon as I have solved some technical problems. I give you my personal email address by MP.

Friendships.

What language will it be in? Francais?

Hello fjpikul.

The language used on our forum communication is French.
This is the official administrative language of the European Union, and this is the usual language of two founding directors.

But the fact that Europeans speak different languages, can make the dialogues difficult.
It is notably for this reason that we decided to delegate the animation of our Club in each country, to a local personality.
Closer to his countrymen to all points of view, he will make the things more enjoyable and effective.

In Britain, David Jones, known to all here, represent officialy our European Club. His very appreciated personality, is a guarantee of quality and success.

People who want to communicate in English on our European Forum, may exceptionally do. We will post a translation into French of their message.

So you're all welcome.

Regards.

European Organisation of the new Club.

The association has a European vocation.
Europe being a large area where coexist different languages and cultures, animation within each country, is delegated to a "National Leader ".
"National Leaders " have apply for that job, and have be nominated by the « Management founder ".
"National Leaders " have pledged to uphold the Constitution of the Association and the general guidelines defined by "Management founder " as well as coordinate with her, and regularly inform their local action, so that the information important as centralized and distributed to all members.

In UK, David Jones, well known here, is in charge of organizing the local life.

For other countries, for the moment, nothing is done.

We know that many European fans reads this pages.
If they are interested in representing the European Club in their country, and help us to develop contacts and meetings, they may contact us.

Sorry, but that sounds a bit strange.

French might be common to Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg - the political centres of the EU - but that doesn´t really reflect the actual language situation in EU. German is probably the largest language but for sure the most common understandable language is English. Given that the FGT population is quite small in Europe - and spread widely out in the region - the french language is most likely not the most common between owners here :wink:facepalm:

Hello Copenhagen GT

I have already written, and I can confirm that if you prefer to communicate with us in English, you're welcome. We will make efforts to be effective.
I would add that you can contact our representative for Great Britain, David Jones. He will discuss with you in English and refere to me, if lack of evidence.

You see, if willing, everything is simple.

Of course, it is the leaders who write the most.
For they are true and accurate, it is better express themselves in their mother tongue, so the French.
Despite all our good will, our knowledge base and using translators robots, we may feel false or unfortunate misunderstanding.

Friendly.

A little over two months after the birth of the Club, and a little over a month after the opening of our Forum, a quick update on the status of the newborn :

Parents are happy and surprised to see so many positive news :

Over 2300 readings of the Forum.
A warm welcome by the world of exceptional Automotive .
Interesting inscriptions. The people who join us, make up a rich tapestry of diversity and complementarity.

One disappointment :

Difficulty getting everyone to introduce themselves, although this is provided in the official accession of membership.
As a reminder, this should not be seen as a whim, but as our commitment to promote human dimension of our friendly and passionate group .

Thank you to David ( UK) and Nicolas ( France sympathizer ) who have already done .
So thank you to Alain , Eric, Jean -Max quickly take their pens .
Thank you to those members of " origin" , to set an example to those who have joined us since , ie Jacques ( France ) , Leopold (Belgium) , Felix (Switzerland), Sascha (who is in charge to animate the club in Germany ), Malcolm (UK ) .

We are full of energy and ideas to improve our club and to expand it.

Thanks to everyone's enthusiasm, the future looks good .
