He he - well there you go Dino, You'll have to stay involved with the club now

[B-Man]

Hi Dino, re: the paste I did from the R&C - I just thought folks might want to know the process, cause I was just about to post a bunch of questions, but then thought, I'd better read the R&C. I think everyone is flexible with the way the club is evolving.

Good to hear from all the peoples about the elections -

Sorry to hear that some peeps are un-decided about standing again. I reckon the current committee has done a fantastic job. Forming the club committee, taking members, organising the bobbin head meet, starting the CAMS process, getting the Famous Classic Insurance thing going, - I'm sure there are many more things that I have missed too.

Well, if there are some spare spots that folks that aren't standing for, I'm sure there are plenty of keen takers to add some more value to the best car club in NSW - SAU.

We’ve heard from most all of the current committee and who will be standing – but what I haven’t seen is why I should vote for them (no offence peeps). Some members may also not know who has done what for the club in the past so reflecting on that may help the process too.

If I were standing for a nomination, I would be preparing a list of ideas, policies etc, to encourage members to vote or me.

For instance, as a member, these are the things I would like to see out of the club in the next 12 months.

* Recruiting more members - (this is the big one)

More members mean more benefits and more fun

* More member benefits - parts, accessories, services, etc (helps with above)

More benefits mean more members

* Some club merchandise - T-Shirts, Caps, Jackets, etc (more over time)

* Organising more events (cruzes, dyno days, club drag nights, track days)

* Incorporating the un-official SAU positions into the Exec committee (Newsletter Ed and Events Organiser)

* Club social outings - dinners, BBQs, pissups (no drink driving of course),

* Charity events

* Affiliations & strategic relationships with like-minded clubs, organisations and companies

(To help enthusiasts with EPA and RTA defection compliance and avoidance amongst other things)

* Group club entries into various car shows etc

* Various sponsorships to help the ongoing funding of the club and member benefits

* Club business cards for all members - (helps with recruitment)

* Virtual place to meet for club members (eg: private forum – Some of this list may be being planned, but I don’t know about it. And if I don’t, other members might not either)

* Roadmap for club future, with rough timelines (so members and potential members can see what’s being planned)

* Events Calendar - at least one event per month (encouraging as many as the Exec Committee to participate in these too)

* Finalise CAMs process (not much to go, I understand)

* Regular Exec Committee meetings with published minutes

* Raising the profile of Skylines and Performance Imports, responsibly

Just to name a few - - well, we can always strive for perfection right ????

Beasly>

So all that said, I might stand for a nomination, if folks are thinking along the same lines as me - that's of course is if there is an appropriate position that's available...(and I am nominated)

If not, that's cool too - as you prolly know, I like to express my opinions and I like to see things get done - So, if nothing eventuates, I can always help "keep the bastards honest...." he he

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,
