oh I forgot the other non-executive position of CAMS Delegate is held by yours truly.:)

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

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 :D

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
