Skyline Show & Shine

[_MRR33]

Hey,

I've notice that Sydney will be holding a Skyline Show & Shine, I was just thinking it seems like a really good idea and maybe something a few of us could try and organize for all of us up in Queensland?

Probably would take a few people, may need to get sponsors for the event and also good word of mouth.

I read the last one they held on Central Coast had 97 cars to the event.

Anyhow, I guess this is more of a EOI and see what sort of response we get, be good to hear your opinions.

Thanks,

Aron

Hey Aron, probablly something you would need to run past/through the club mate...

Its been looked at before and the biggest issue is public liability insurance...

Mud and I could shead some light on this fact if nessary as we both looked into it in the past 2 years...

Its very costlly and hard to get, not to mention hire of a location and then you would need major sponcership to pay for the event (possiblly admission also)... There are a million things to look at that not many realise are needed (not just legal aspects)...

Example of a weird one is, you need enough toliets so there is one toliet for every 100 heads. So if the location you hire only has one male and one female that means you can only support a total of 100 heads as its assumed in the eyes of the law that there are equal numbers of males and females reguardless of the circumstances. So assume you attract 400 people you would need to then hire some portable toliets (which are rather expensive).

Happy to help you point in the right direction as I just finished helping AUSRODS (QLD Hotrod club) with their last show and shine event at Strathpine 3 weeks ago... So ive done it before and understand the hurdles and whats needed... More than happy to have a chat to you about it tho...

Fair enough, I knew there would be some rules and things but there are some weird ones hey, I dunno just thought it'd be an idea may be a bit too costly though.

Anything NSW can do, we can do better.

Have another crack at it Col! Get on to Bunta and Shane and Benno? (are they still the events guys)

Worst case, lets all just meet in a carpark somewhere and hangout!!

Got show off my baby one more time before she goes to a new home

Sif do a legal show n shine with a hired location, public liability insurance etc. Just pick a huge carpark, organise and rock up, let the government foot the bill if someone falls over.

[FineLine]

I approached the people at willowbank raceway with a view to allowing clubs to use their facility for show and shine, swap meets etc. They seemed quite keen to find extra uses for the venue but i still havnt heard back.

Might have to revert to the "Keegs" idea.

Agreed, lets just organise one massive gathering to the Spit or Broadwater carpark on a Sunday arvo...spread the word and they will rock up. The last time we went to the Broady on a Sunday arvo it was pretty empty and we took up pretty much one whole section of the carpark trying to make the words SAU

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah Im totally for the carpark idea, problem is that the popo generally see a group of cars and ask you to move on.

If you have 100+ skylines in one area with bonnets up and so forth they would have a field day.

Hence the importance of hiring a venue and doing it legit.

But as I said I just finished one with Ausrod and know the in's and out, legalities and the right way to do it if your interested.

If you wanta do a carpark thats fine but you would need to be very carefull, not to mention if a complaint is made by the owner/manager of said location, as then your in real trouble as it can be considered trespassing and the police can detain you and your vechicles.

ie. Like when they shut down Aspley McDonalds and run everyones cars through a shaker unit til the early hours of the morning...

Also hence why the SCC was done on "hired land", this way no one can be touched by said 'popo'

If you build it, they will come.

[Col-GTSX]

If you build it, they will come.

Thats sounds like a cheesy line out of some movie

But yes I agree, i you build it they will come... Always works for me...

[markimak]

yes heard that line from somewhere..

well im really keen for this..

i say lets do it.. event mods..? or should this be discussed on sauqld.com?

[Col-GTSX]

"Field of Dreams" - Kevin Cosner

event mods..? or should this be discussed on sauqld.com?

What is an "event mod" ????

You can do it anywhere, do it yourself you dont need someone to do it for you.

Grab a hold of the idea and do it, just do it.

Put together the idea, make a date and time and post it in the events section.

Link it to your signature and talk it up, simple as that. Just do it, no need for discussion unless you have questions on how to do it. Like I said more than happy to point out a thing or two and happy to talk about it either here, via pm or over the phone. Im more than happy to help you going in the right direction, but Im not going to orginise it.

You need to grab the bull by the horns and rather than just suggesting to do something go out there and plan it, then implement it and then execute it.

[SEX-DR.]

keen to come along, and by the sounds of things, other are also!!!

some one get it organised.....me? i cant even organise myself, let alone an event like this!!!

[_MRR33]

Looks like a few people would be keen for the Car Park idea, I'm guessing it would work too. Dyno Day is tomorrow, so maybe organize something after Brisbane Autosalon?

I think thats the best way to go. If people are cool with that I'll organize something with your guys help

[Col-GTSX]

Thats the spirit

[markimak]

fine.. ill also nominate myself to make this thing happen.. when is BNE autosalon..?

Our public liability insurance cost $55 from CAMS as we are cams affiliated. Affiliation costs vary on the amount of members your club has but not too much.

Hire of Granville Park was $234. We did have to ask about 8 venues before we got a yes that we were happy with. (Got 3 unsatisfactory yeses.)

show and shines are for leather and chrome and about 99% of skylines around here dont have that? why would would you wana have a show and shine to check out other people pod filters and coil overs? lol y not have a show and shine set up at a track day or something? then people can cheak out others mods and see them being put to use. skyline show and shine would be pretty boring otherwise lol
