[Guest darrinspencer]

I thought I would start this thread to see what people want from the Qld SAU car club

Some idea's

Club meetings not just on the forum's

Regular monthly cruises (some family day out aswell)

Show and Shine maybe twice a year

Dyno days

Track days at Qld racway and Willowbank drags

Skid pan day

Tech talk day

Yearly event calander so people can plan ahead

Go-karting

Please add your ideas to help the club to grow.

The all famous Dodgy Macanic day

Social night ( non-car related activity )

fund raiser cruise for a chosen charity ( Meals on wheels , Qld cancer fund ......etc)

[predator]

All good suggestions.

Maybe just a club bbq once every month or so on say a sunday, to encourage new members and get to meet and greet.

If there are going to be a formal structure, some sort of idea of when official meetings, and how others can participate if they need to, and participate in the organisational structure, etc.

fund raiser idea - the caldwell fund for skylines lacking mods

[knore]

Now that i have filming capabilities, ide like more day time cruises, well just more cruises in general actually

And maybe the next Massive skylines cruise should start to be organised? Its almost been 6months, we should make it a twice yearly event

try and break 100 cars this time :uh-huh:

Track days are a must, but kept to the cooler months. Other tracks such as Morgan Park and Darligton Park are excellent venues as well. Did a track day at Darligton Park last Sunday and it offers good value for heaps of track time. Although my brakes are feeling it now....hehe....

And don't forget the skidpan/LMVA days.....

I think it would be a good idea to tie a MSC in with a charity drive and maybe a concourse as well.

It always good to give back to the community and help the underpriviledged or disadvantaged out.

Also good advertising for the club too and lets people know that we aren't all just mindless hoons

All good ideas so far...

Great idea for a thread I must say...

does that include my fund raiser idea?.....

[strutto]

At the risk of starting a shitfight (which is not my intention)...

I'd really like to see some more involvement from the club execs at events organised by non execs... IE: Massive Skyline Cruises, Willowbank nights, Dyno Days, Thurs nights, etc... I just get the feeling the execs hearts aren't in it anymore although I do appreciate the efforts they have all made over the past few years...

I'd really appreciate some more transparency in how the club is run... At the moment, nothing much seems to get discussed between the members of the club / forum before the execs decide on it... Even a monthly meeting minutes post would be nice... Or an open invite to a meeting...

Who are the execs anyway? Slip = president (for now)... Gary1 = ??? Revhead seems to be involved a bit and does a good job IMO... How does he fit in? Are there any others? Who is the treasurer, who is the secretary, who is the events coordinator?

Not a rant BTW... Just some feelings / thoughts I've had for a while...

[strutto]

Negative... Although we could have a "Teach Warwick Auto Electrics Day"

:flamed:

Im just curious about how slip's replacement will come about?? will we nominate then vote or will it just be one day "hey heres the new president"

I will be doing a scouting day sometime soon in regards to the third Massive Skyline Cruise. I'm thinking of heading up north, a nice drive through a few mountains and then out to one of the dams for a BBQ lunch and an afternoon of fun and shenanigans. I've also been approached by a photographer for one of the car magazines to do a story on the next Massive skyline cruise.

I'd like to also have it as a donation to charity cruise as well. I'd personally prefer it was the Cancer research fund as I've had one person this year pass away of cancer and my grandfather is currently fighting cancer. But obviously closer towards the date and when more organisation goes in, I'll ask for preferences to which charity people would prefer.

If you are interested in helping scout the run or have any suggestions on a nice leisurely drive + bbq spot, please PM me and provide further details.

Normally at one of the monthly meetings, the members would get to vote as to who they want as a replacement and the majority gets voted in.

But why did slip (and others) do all the hard work and then want to relinquish his position? That bit confuses me.

[chaos]

Probably have some idea but i wont say...

[wados]

more than happy to help out erin

also if we are going to meet at mercury motorsports every 2 weeks then one of the meets at MMS should be a club meet where we can discus things and vote on changes and organise charity days and another massive skyline cruise

[Ska]

Yeah I would be insterested in the actually running of the club, like how it is going to be run, by whom and what is going to happen where and when and how i can help out

[j_insoll]

People seem to be interested in a massive skyline cruise, non more so than me, check out the thread for the cruise on the 26th of sept, its stickied, could just the be the beginning of better things to come

[NismoGirl]

We've already done two massive skyline cruises to the coast...

Time for something different
