Basically wanted to hold these regular meetings as a precursor to 'official' member meetings, as a method of guaging interest from people as to whether we should form a more official (read organised) club.
Interest thus far has been very positive - and as Wardest put it, paying $50 odd clams give you some form of ownership with what happens. That said - we have a minimum of 20 people keen. So I say we're good to go.
So - moving forward...
We need to set up a NPO (non-profit org) bank account and ABN. Things like application forms, member cards and t-shirt design need to be discussed also. As does creation and maintenance of the membership database.
There's a bit to go - but the ball is rolling the right direction.
On a less formal note - we spoke about a cruise in the coming weeks to Portsea, another club-based visit to Heathcote, a run to Emerald Lake (maybe even a ride on Puffing Billy) and some country-based runs. All reason for people to become paid up members
Wardest and Adz had the duel of the daily-drivers, Simpsons were on for a while, pots are $2.80 - Guiness $6.20.
