You sir are bang on correct. They are just lazy to move the cars and the CCA management is telling us its "due to rain" LOL. Biggest joke of the year. We should go to a dealership that actually wants to host us. Sterling sucks, not to mention their rude attitude the last time I was there.

CCA management? This is a National Capital chapter event issue. We are all volunteers here. We're all disappointed that part of the big spring kickoff was cancelled, but I think you'll live. Sounds like you & "F30" have some great ideas & experiences - I hope you'll come out tomorrow anyway (the DIY is still being held, as it's inside) to share how to make the chapter better & volunteer to help.

You specialize in being sarcastic and rude. I suggest you put that to some use and make the club better by recognizing dealer who don't care about the club. This isn't a personal attack on you or about you even though you want it to be. It's about how BMW sterling doesn't give a damn about hosting the CCA event. Yes, everyone is a volunteer but there still is management, is there not? Don't pretend like a management does not exist. What for is there an administration tab on this website then? Now you want me to come to the DIY after that very dealer treats the club in such a manner? I think people should know better and not support a dealer who doesn't support us. Isn't that what the CCA says? "Please support our sponsors". It's not a one way street and the sooner the club realizes that the better. This is in the interest of the club that we start to realize Sterling doesn't care one bit about the club. They pay porters by the hour to move cars here and there, you're telling me they have no one to do that? Please wake up and see reality my friend.

Yet this dealership has opened a majority of their repair facility to allow clubs members to work on their cars today, makes some of their specialized tools available to us, has their techs there to lend a hand when needed, and offers a discount on parts. This is much more of a commitment than clearing the parking lot.

If a cars & coffee event is your pleasure, and you want it to happen at a local BMW dealership, please set it up & let the social or marketing contact know the details so they can be shared with the other members. We love to get together!

Well maybe when the club cancels an event short notice, an email could be sent out. We're not on this site everyday and just wasted a morning driving our cars up to the event only to find it cancelled... not a happy member right now.

I appreciate that, thank you. I do agree it is nice of them to let us use their service bays etc, but it just seems very odd they wouldn't move their cars out (have the porters do it).

They did post it on facebook and instagram but I agree they should send an email out as well so that each and every person is aware. I'm sure there are some people not on facebook or instagram. Whoever handles their marketing/outreach sucks at doing it properly.

Also, LOOK at how much its raining, so much I can't even see it! LOL! What fools canceling due to rain when there hasn't even been a drop of it.

[F30]

I agree also there is something else to this problem
