Skyline car club.Supported by SST and Per4manz

The cost of Events such as MC days, Motorkhana's and hillclimbs would still need to be partly met by the members, but by doing fundraising activities the cost of these events can be reduced:D

[PSIKO]

that's what I'm talking about Paul

but there's two sides to it

either people pay the full cost for the event, or they participate in fund-raising events in the hope to bring down the sporting events costs

and last time someone suggested a show'n'shine I was pretty sure they got bagged fairly heavily (rice issue and all that)

obviously there are other ways, eg what importscene did/are doing with sausage sizzles, raffles etc etc ... only they got heavily bagged as well ...

but the point is people are going to have to be willing to put up with those things, if they want to participate in the events at a competitive price (shold they want to do it regularly)

[skyzerr33]

enough squabling please

when the info packs arrive I'll post a meeting thread.

first off it will only be an information session so those who come will know where we stand and what work needs to be done, the costs involved and have input into any decissions made on the day or night.

after this we will be able to either go forward with the club or stay as we are.

the forum and the club will be seperate entities but as mentioned will be used the main way of cummunicating with all members.

something to reduce entrance costs to the kwinana motorplex would be nice

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Aidwin,

ANDRA (Drag Racing) association may be possible, and I'm sure it will be looked into:D

although i don't know all the details but from the looks and the fiew questions I asked them they are going to be in some difficulties with the tax man.

Jules,

It's true that many of the traditional fund-raising activities are scoffed at, but there are a number of non-ricey ways to raise money.

Rather than debating about it in here though we may aswell wait for a formal meeting so everyone can have there input.

[RB20LagWagon]

For example dyno day, put 5 dollar levvy on it, for funds to start club with im sure, there wont be any people complainging about the extra cost, and say we get 40 cars i spose 200 bux wont help much or will it?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Shaun, That was one idea I had, plus at Club cruises we can all donate a few $, and have non-members donate aswell.

I agree with Adam, the $60-$70 establisment fee should be paid by all, and some kind of member fee should be incorporated.  This will both generate funds and give the members a firmer (and more democratic) foundation; instead of another entity solely funding and therefore allowing themselves a 'levy' at any point in time

if u read the original threads regarding the club, you'll find this the way this will be structured.

if we again fall short on members to raise the money needed to get the club of the ground and business donate money these businesses will be repayed these donations once memberships are large enough to allow it.

You guys seem to have a different idea of how sponsor ship works. As I see it sponsorship would allow members to get discounts at the businesses and the businesses the right to have there name included on any event hold.

but all this will need to be discussed

[EVL R33]

Count me in for a club...

I have a suggestion. Why can't we have a 'board' of members instead of a president? Majority rules on decisions. Of course most decisions should be done via member votes at meetings so that those who want show and shines will be able to have their say as will those who want to do motorkana's etc....

Sponsership is a good thing in my opinion and something that is needed to get this club up and running. Both parties benefit from it as as Steve has said SST or Per4manz won't be represented in the club it will be Steve and Grant as fellow Skyline enthusiasts...

Any night of the week or weekend is good for me as long as I have a bit of notice.

hmmm

maybe I do then

As I'm just reading stuff about making dyno runs more expensive from the sponsors..?

Anyway when a date is organised will bring everything, felt necessary, up as there seems to be a large amount of ambiguity

[adam 32]

this is EXACTLY what we should be avoiding

by getting caught up with politics we forget what this club is all about. soon someone will be elected president, then the bitching will start and well forget that one day there was just a group of guys/girls with a common interest who enjoyed the odd cruise, meet, mc day etc

[GTS-t VSPEC]

There only seems to be one person bitching Adam, and I'm not sure why. I can't see this being a huge political issue, members will vote on a group of fellow members who they want to make decisions on there behalf, hardly anything sinister about that is there?

Brett, I'm sure it would be a board of members, but I think someone needs to head the board, doens't mean there decision is anymore important, majority rules.

[MrMayhem]

you've whore'd this thread to the point where its no longer worth reading. Hope this turns out to be a good thing

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Steve, It's called healthy debate, and not whoring. All of these issues will be dealt with at a meeting which will be posted in due course, until then there isn't anything wrong with sharing peoples opinions is there?

[N I B]

The sponsor businesses will have advertising rights only.

Every thing that happens is voted on by members.

If you don't like something vote against it, That easy.

This had to start somewhere and we made the offer and when

its up and running we will have a club house. SST( and any other sponsor) will have no power over the club, It can be put in the club constitution.

[adam 32]

im not trying to bitch just provide the other side of the argument.

this is a big move to make and its important that we include everyone who is a part of SAU otherwise we may spoil a good thing.

im not really a fan of the president and committe thing though, although understand that it may be essential also... by making someone 'in charge' of SAU goes against the main premise upon which SAU was first established.

basically i dont agree with the hierarchy thing - can this be avoided? or do we need a club president, board etc etc
