What Do We Want Next For The Group?

[a20089]

As most of you know we now have the best banner of any car club.

At this stage I must take particular time to thank Tarmac and SiNista32 for their very generous donations, without their support we would not be having a banner.

I'd also like to thank Michele for her fund raising efforts and lastly a big thank you to all those who attended and purchased drinks etc at events.

We have a bit over $100 left in the kitty and I'm calling for interest in what everyone would like purchased next.

I'll start the ball rolling and say a marquee or a pair of marquee (often cheaper and easier to set up two smaller ones then one larger one) We thank Mick for generously allowing us the use of the Federal Tent, however we can't rely on Micks goodwill forever and having shade is so important at events.

But thats just my idea, what other suggestions do people have?

A lot of other car clubs build the money up over 12 months, then put the money towards an event like a track day or something like that. Its an idea anyway.

I think it would take too long for us to save up for a track day... unless someone is prepared to put in some serious fundraising efforts!!!!

I agree re: the marquees/gazebo's from experience, 2x 3m gazebo's are much easier to manage than 1x 6m and there are times when a 3m is simply enough. Its more within budget i.e. one at a time. I think mine are called Oztrial deluxe gazebo or something to that effect.

We could also start looking at auctions (DOLA/EBAY) for second-hand engine hoist for loan or low value hire - perhaps with a deposit for its return.

I suggest we use what we have left to get the ball rolling for further fundraising ie buy sausages and drinks for our next sausage sizzle or better still, does anyone know how to get the foot in the door for a bunnings bbq?

Marquee's are a good idea.... anything that would help generate funds in the future is a good buy.

for bunnings just call them and ask to talk to the person in charge of that i dont know of any cost

[rossco_01]

we could also do a charity cruise

[nerm]

wouldn't the money raised then go to charity rather to SAUACT

[rossco_01]

well a percentage of the money goes to a charity and the rest to our club or vias versa inst that how it normally works

Youre also welcome for the banner design John...

Perhaps we should start charging admission to our spot at shows... Like $2 per person for the privaledge of looking at our lovely Skylines at Marques in the Park or Shannons Wheels car show?

And a special thanks to Mick for designing the banner and allowing SAU ACT to utilise the banner royalty free.

hahahaha, bunnings was free back home if it was a non profit organisation, so if we are doing to improve the club for all members then it should be free,

Does someone know someone who knows someone to get us booked in? I heard its hard to get in and you have to have insurance. That shouldn't be too hard to get though.

[Bullet32]

Insurance? To sell hotdogs?

Just incase someone gets food poisoning?

Or chokes, or slips over, or gets burnt, or gets allergic to the sauce, or grazes their knee or gets an itchy nipple. You've gotta be covered.
