Skyline Car Club

[skylineguy19]

wont be able to make it. 3 year anniversary takes priority.

I do understand where Steve is coming from. In the past one member in particular organising this has gone out of their way to make a few us who have been around quite alot longer than they have feel unwelcome to be at SAU events, so i do understand why he is skeptical of this and i kind of feel the same BUT if this is all for the BEST INTERESTS of SAU then i am willing to look into being a part of it if that member on here can find it in themselves to perhaps make us feel abit more welcome to be involved in SAU events.

wait, so according to the bbq flyer thing you want people to hand over money now when you dont even have a committee, treasurer, any form of chain of command, no real track on who is doing what with the money? have you even decided on a name?

baby steps people, the bbq could be a good step but asking for money this early is dangerous

[dark.sky]

Well actually we do have an interim treasurer and committee in place.

if names are logged per donated amount, totaled up, then there is no problem

'simply Petty Cash towards the new club

if it all falls thru and ppl want donations back, then with the original donated total, less costs of items (sauce, bread, butter, sausages, cans, etc) averaged per person, would be refundable.

easy, and a great way to start the ball rolling with donations going to the petty cash tin, receipts kept.

it isnt that hard...... just got to start somewhere

will see if I can make the bbq date. havent got much $ myself atm tho, sitting out of work and all that does that to the finances, but Im sure enough could be tallied together to get the ball rolling.

such as paying for business name, registered club PO address, etc etc etc

cant argue with that

[Tangles]

all goes on the Balance Sheet

[RubyRS4]

Tangles, as will be outlined in the Constitution and is the norm for most not-for-profit car clubs, if any club were to be dissolved, any monies in the bank from donations/memberships (or any other source) will be donated to a charity of the club's choice (as pre-selected by the Committee).

Example:

13.2 Upon dissolution of the club, all funds held are to be dispersed to the club's preferred charity as nominated, after all liabilities have been honoured.

[RubyRS4]

I have been PMed quite a bit about this club. This is one such PM which I felt should be openly dealt with for everyone's knowledge. I have removed the sender's name just for the hell of it.

What about some of us that have put our hands up from the start that dont even get a look in or say because you already have your mind made up, or dont you want to get to know anyone new? With this club I would back kellie for sure and im all for it, but im affraid to see you are already pushing members away by your posts on here dude.

When you read this you will think it as a personal attack but you will not see it from another persons point of view and it needs to be brought to your attention sadly because the thread has gone on too long with back and forward banter.

I myself being new as a skyline owner have come along to the charity dinner, villies and also the old school new age show and I have noticed very few want to get to know new commers and even will bag the shit out of them and not be helpful with posts put up on the forums either. And to tell you the truth, its some of the people you have selected as your commity it would seem. I didnt think those kind of things were meant to be tied into a club and it was all meant to be about being together?

The problem is that there has been way too many assumptions within the thread. Members trying to put words into my mouth and misleading other members to fearing the Nazis were coming.

I am more than open to newcomers. I do not know whatever gave you that impression. I was a newcomer myself last year. I even have a handful of newcomers who have already had a say and are helping putting this together, because they have discussed this with me and the others personally. Basically, anyone can have input into this, but I am taking constructive input from people in person far more seriously than comments in a forum, for the obvious reason. If you're a newcomer and I haven't personally met you yet, feel free to introduce yourself. It is a two way street. Sometimes I get carried away with socialising with the familiar faces, so I apologise if I don't get around to meeting some of you ... but feel free to approach me. I do not set out to ignore newcomers, so lets get that straight.

How am I pushing members away with my posts? It is other members assuming, speculating and being negative that have led to some of the confusion. I'm driving this thing forward as much as I can to make it happen, but I am not answering the same questions over and over. If anything I have said is interpreted as pushing members away, that is not my intention. My sole intention at the moment is to make SAU SA happen. A few toes will probably be stepped on, no doubt, but I'm going to get things done and the end result (I hope) will be seen as suitable to all. Remember: you can't keep everyone happy all the time.

You comment that I have committee members who personally attack newcomers? I have not even discussed the names of any potential/nominated committee members ... only that I "have people in mind". For the record, SAU SA will not tolerate attacks on any member, and that is written in the Constitution. The Interim Committee at this time are a handful of us (including newcomers) who have been the only ones so far to step up and give this a go ... we make do with what resources we have. I will take whatever help I can get. The Club Committee will be elected by its members and will follow the rules of the Constitution. So it will be as fair as possible. The persons I feel suitable for the Club Committee will be put forward to the Interim Committee for discussion and modification, then open for voting by paid members, as is drafted in the Constitution.

I suggest people stop making or reading too much into assumptions and attend the meetings/bbq to discuss to find out some solid info on the new club. I welcome you to come to our meeting to discuss the SAU SA club.

I do not see what you have written as a personal attack. I believe you have misunderstood me. But that is your opinion and you are welcome to it. I thank you for your input. I do not set out to make people like me, I set out to get jobs done. Please be patient and understanding.

wait so is it SAU SA, offering the oppertunity for ny skyline enthusiests to join (to a certain point), or is it the skyline and stagea club?

[Damo_R34]

wait so is it SAU SA, offering the opportunity for any skyline enthusiasts to join (to a certain point), or is it the skyline and stagea club?

Im sure its going to be SAU:SA, it would be suicide naming it anything else.

[rhys5169]

^agreed

[RubyRS4]

To add to my comments above ... and to answer some of the rumours ...

The structure of the SAU SA club and its Rules and Constitution will be presented and discussed at the Vilis meet and the BBQ fund raiser. It is unproductive in my opinion to put this structure out for discussion on a public forum. I have done quite a bit of homework and discussed this with Committee members of other established clubs for their feedback and guidance.

I have a short list of those I believe are suitable for the Club Committee and have both (a) the time for it; and (b) knowledge in certain areas to add strength to the club. I will discuss this list with the Interim Committee before the BBQ fundraiser on the 25th, and will be open to constructive discussion about the proposed list to those already involved and whom also have a good knowledge of those potential nominees on the list. Kellie has let me run with the ball on this because (a) I don't mind stepping on toes to get the job done; and (b) I have the skills to getting this club established, and I'm very bloody good at what I do.

I only have control of the birth of SAU SA because I am trusted to make it happen, and the interim committee is happy with me to push things forward. I do not "own", nor am I the "self appointed leader" of, the SAU SA club. I am doing a job to give SA its first CAMS affiliated Skyline club under the banner of SAU SA. I have not included myself on the nominees for the Club Committee. If another Interim Committee member or paid SAU SA club member nominates me for a position, I would consider it. But I am not nominating myself as any leader, unlike what has been assumed. Furthermore, the people I have in mind for the draft list of nominees I consider suitable for the positions due to their personality and their involvement with SAU events to date. They are not pre-selected as my little "foot soldiers" or persons to vote me into "power" ... and in any case the list will be subject to amendments/additions prior to any voting taking place. SAU SA, as contained in the Rules and Constitution, will endeavour to be the best and fairest Skyline club in SA, through its members as well as committee members. Therefore, thru the drafting of the Constitution, I have ruled myself out as having any self-appointed control over the Club.

After the weekend, I will start up a new thread outlining the status of the club, and nominees for the Club Committee. At the BBQ fund raiser, I will (hopefully) have membership forms ready to go, for those who would like to join on the day and cast their vote.
