Thanks for the input,
I think this has been taken the wrong way though, most likely by my choice of thread name.
The idea was not to start an official SAU newcastle club / event etc.. the idea was basically to get peolpe in newcastle and surrounding areas that are on SAU or SAU NSW members together to provide some networking, and maybe get some local meets (anyone from anywhere more than welcome, but all newcastle based etc).. hence the SAU newcastle name, although if this is against rules or confusing / upsetting people, we have no problem changing the name or removing SAU from any of the thread titles to not mislead / misdirect people, and/or inappropriatelty represent something we are not.
this has come about becasue as much as i love going to sydney and especially SAU NSW events (which i plan to deffinately contiune doing, i actually have my car entered in and supporting the SAU group at this weekends The Low Down Showcased car show), its not easy for us to come to every small gathering that i would like to in the syndey area, just trying to start up similar things in the newcastle area.
As mentioned above, Matt has made contact with the correct people and hopefully this all gets sorted with all parties happy.
Cheers,
Anthony
