Here are some points ive thought of... most likely some stuff is "captain obvious", some stuff maybe not so.

Hope its a good read.

Constitution

SAU-Vic used the NSW club's one as a base, but we changed a fair bit of it in some things that we felt better suited our ideals/members and so on.

Your welcome to use that if you like and then sit down and workout what you want to change etc.

Taxation/Registrations as NPO

As you will be registering the club as a Non Profit Organisation (NPO). You don’t have to register for the GST until the club have a turnover of $100,000 per annum, you are not required to submit a tax return either.

You will still need to keep books and proper records of money in/out and so on.

It’s a good idea to appoint someone yearly, for an audit of accounts. Which is something that goes into the "C" as well

CAMS Affiliation

They will want a copy of the constitution from memory, so basically the big "C" is the starting point of everything

The rest of the details I've seen in this thread, and details are also on their website about it all.

Membership Fee's

SAU-Vic's aim was to become the cheapest CAMS Affiliated club in Vic. This was for a couple of reasons

1. To get our members the cheapest possible CAMS licenses

2. To also increase membership base by people joining the club just for CAMS, not necessarily owning a skyline/being active on the forums.

This worked well with our $50 joining fee, and $20 Admin fee (on time payable only).

So at $50 to become a member of a CAMS affiliated club - was the cheapest, and still is in Vic.

You also membership fee's do make up a fair portion of your clubs income. So make pricing too high, you wont get many members.

Too low and you wont have enough in the kitty :)

Sponsors

Realistically from a business point of view, you wont have many large sponsors in your first financial year for a few reasons.

1. Sponsors like to see something as up and running, doing events and see where their money is going.

2. The first 12 months might lead to a dissolution of the club, its highly unlikely, but a business mind is going to be thinking about this so might put no money in, or very little initially.

3. Membership base will be small, so audience of the money outlay wont be too big.

Merchandise

You obviously need something, maybe a T-shirt/Polo/Caps/Stickers to get started.

To note, you wont really have any money initially to get this up and running until you get the first round of memberships.

In that respect the new/potential members have to instil some trust the Committee that is formed, that they will do this within the early months of club formation

Just needs to be something identify yourselves at public events to say "Hey, SAU-SA is official and working".

When out at public drift events/drag days and so on its good to see people wearing the club gear and especially if it’s a new club in the area people will be asking questions and so on about it.

This also ties into sponsors later on if you do (using Vic as an example) come jackets or something the club can decide to put business logo's on and so forth, and charge accordingly for it. Sponsors love getting their logo's on merchandise as its great exposure.

Bank accounts

The big "C" is required before you can set this up.

Back in '03 we found the best bank at the time to be Westpac for a number of reasons.

1. They offered bank accounts with nil/low fees for Non Profit Organisations

2. Dual signatory was offered, and a cheque book for free (if memory serves me correct)

I personally went to a number of other large banks and none of them really offered anything other than a normal account.

This might well have changed in 2-3 years as far as what bank offers what.

But as a NPO you don’t want to be paying fee's for transactions etc. It just eats up your money.

Enjoy.

Im sure there is lots ive missed, i was pretty busy at work so i couldn't give much thought other than about 15-20mins

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
