[hako]

im in as long as it stays politics free and has a motorsport side to it

just need to sort out the dirty details

[angel]

So we are finally getting serious about forming a club? I am very interested. Everyone remember when voting for committee members that we shoud definately have at least one female on the team!!!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

A female? There are only 4 of you, but if you nominate yourselves then you have a good chance of being on the commitee:D

[G0DF4Th3R]

I can think of 5 females in SAU....dunno if i have left anyone out?

Niz, Liz, Angel, Bayley and Paulie

yeah i reckon at least one comittee member should be a woman

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Bam, Your a bitch too, so that makes 6:p

Anyway, ignoring the whoring, I agree that the females in SAU have contributed substantially to the social atmosphere of the club, and I'd hope that they would be willing to put themselves forward as committee members.

[Nizmo]

i just dont want this becoming political in any way - ive seen this happen with other car clubs and it just becomes a total shit fight.

what would exactly be your involvement if u did run for a position? or did i miss that about 3 or 4 pages ago?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Most of it would be a social commitee to organise events, fund-raising, sponsorship etc.

[N I B]

Paul can run the whoreing commitee.

[GTS-4OrCeD]

I would like to put my self forward for all positions except Treasurer and the guy that writes everything down (Can't spell and I have failed every atempt at accounting yet.)

Greg.

(Is he being sicastic, I can't even tell anymore)

[Nizmo]

If the guys would like a female on the committee then i will put myself forward - career wise Event Management is what i hope to do anyway so it would be good experience for me - but...... I think its not fair to have someone on the committee just because their female when there is guys that have been around longer than us and probably better to do the job ..... so if a female wasnt elected to the committee dont think us girls are going to have a tanty about it and take it personally

I belong to 3 other clubs that are CAMS affiliated and to be perfectly honest , it's a head **** that I don't really want.

Ask yourself how many of the club members are going to regularly and seriously compete in events that require a CAMS lic.

what you have to realise is that by going down this path , all events we run will have to be to CAMS rules with the appropriate fees paid ( yes , even a cruise or static display).

There are reports to be filled in , permits to obtain , stewards to find etc etc.

My opinion is that for the serious ones , there is ample car clubs they can join to get the CAMS benefits which are cheap and for the rest we keep it a more social club with cruises etc that if something goes wrong , then there is nothing formal.

My thoughts

[GTS-4OrCeD]

Never though about it like that before, you make some good points ken.

greg.

[RB20LagWagon]

I like kens thinking, perhaps on another idea we, affilliate ourselves with a cams affilliated club, so that everyone who joins this club joins that club too. If that makes sense. I get from the posts in this thread that people just want a bit more formality about the club, we could start having agms and monthly meetings, but anything more then that would be as ken puts it, a headbonk. though i could see this not doing enough to make our could be sponsors happy.

[gtrken]

To give an example , the AFARCC was giving memberships for $20 plus your level 2 lic.

They are running a Collie drif... err Sprint day later this month and even if you aren't a club member it's only $70 for the day plus CAMS lic.

We would require a lot of time , money and effort to get to that level and I am sure that if we approached the AFARCC as a group , that price would be cheaper.

So RB20lagwagon has a point in that we remain ourselves but under the banner of a CAMS affiliated club.

No different to the Combined Car Clubs Sports Register which has a lot of minor marque clubs banded under the register.Don't forget though, if we join as a club then we are bound by the CAMS rules( all 600 odd pages ) but if the diehards join a CAMS club to compete and the rest don't , then the social and err.. cruises are a lot less of a drama

[N I B]

AFRCCwas a very political club in the past but i don't now what their like now.

[N I B]

I suggested the combined car clubs a week or so ago but no one

responded.

[dan_the_man]

As long as we all get gold cards that say we are members of the club then I'm happy.

"I'm here with the Gold Skyline Card" Everyone would wanna be ur friend

[skyzerr33]

i'll gether some more info from cams from what ken has said.
