Eoi - Sau Vic - Gala Ball

[R31Nismoid]

Morning all

Ive been toying with the idea as per the title of this thread for a while… so here we go.

Basically a Gala Ball at a function centre somewhere.

Everyone can get tarted up, suit style and come for a great night and a great sit down dinner with their partner or friends etc etc

Id imagine tickets somewhere around the $100 mark. Im not entirely sure on that but thats roughly what id expect maybe a tad more.

Some of the things we'll hope to have…

- High profile guest speaker(s) to come along for the night (someone from V8 supercars possibly, rallying, whatever we can workout)

- Raffle off some donations and unique prizes

- Music/DJ possibly during the night

- All proceeds from the event will go to a Charity

- Possibly subsidised entry for SAU-Vic members (something possibly like $20 towards your ticket). Note: subsidy would be dependant on a few things we'll workout that later however.

- Option to 'book a table', basically so you and your group of friends can book a whole table together

Please express your interest, and if you have any ideas or suggestions please feel free to post them in the thread.

Realistically we'd probably be looking to have at least 80 people to make something like this viable for the club.

Please vote guys

Thanks

Ash

Probably a bit late to include in this years one (if you are organising it for 08) but you could include the presentation of all the motorsport (Deca & track) awards.

i think it would be good if we could get numbers. i like the idea of the open bar Ash.

[R31Nismoid]

It'll be ~ Mar-Apr '09 Ant.

Its severly too late notice for anyone to do this year. Plus to get high profile speakers etc, gotta get a fair bit of notice going

But ye it would be a perfect opportunity to do something like that i agree

Something for next year to think on for the end of year 10/10

[THR34T]

It sounds pretty good. id be up for it and im sure few mates within SAU would be aswell

[CAJFLY]

sound great and even better reason that the proceeds goes to a charity

[Swiper the Fox]

If we are certified victorian residents by then Stace and I are in!

[KURAUN]

great idea ash, id probably be up for it

[locoloc]

if you hold it at crown, I can help out with the A/V side of things,,,,,,,

only problem is my company charges a lot for equipment hire and the palladium is not the cheapest room to hire.

thats if im still here next year.....

[acsplit]

only if your taking me bitch !

[BRUNSKIGTST]

wouldnt this event be good to give out club trophies of some event sau has??? if it hasnt been already told, just another idea

[AGE]

I'd be keen for attendance.

Whats the Albert park rowing club place worth to hire.... i saw Shannons hired it out tonight for something.

What about fancy dress?

[R31Nismoid]

Ok a small bump - we have 30 that would be in, and ill assume that means 60 (if everyone brings a +1)

So thats pretty close to the numbers that we need to kick this baby off!!!

[RBJ3T]

I think i'd have a look. Give me a chance to show my GF that i'm not the only one obsessed with my car. lol. I'm sure a few of lads from Sniper and PSI Parts would be keen to.

Let me know exact dates as I may be away with the army.

i mentioned this gala ball when it was first posted up to the missus saying it MAY go ahead

she hasnt stopped asking about it since

[dezz]

Voted ages ago but didn't post...I'd be in probably + 1

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

awsome idea

my miss's loves that stuff, but she's gone to warrnambool uni full time

now not so good

You'll probably need double those numbers Ash. As is the usual case, half the people that vote "yes" will most probably back out once it happens and it's time for financial commitment.

[R31Nismoid]

EOI numbers are pretty good Al - the venue we are looking at (its in the CBD, so accessible for all that way) does have a guest limit so there would be fairly limited numbers and so on.

Also RBJ3T - this will be members only due to the fact its limited numbers, and the club will chip in to cover some of the cost of the price and so on to keep things affordable (as we try to do where we can).

Members would probably get a +1 by default as there is some element of exclusivity of being a member

[adznight]

Are we talking a catered thing with open beer and wine?

Either way it sounds like a pretty cool idea, would be one hell of a party!
