Minutes from Pre-Club meeting (8/10)

[Wardest]

Well guys, I'd just like to say that the small turn out last nite has resulted in the club's direction being decided by 4 guys at a table in a bar. hahahahah

James will most likely be posting the ideas we had but I can say that we had a few great ones about solid membership, cruises and events.

Stay tuned.

[doxximus]

james! post! now! info!

[predator]

ba... you can't tease!!

cruise this sunday.. hell yer!

[Wardest]

Give him time guys. I'm sure Jim will get the details up asap.

We just juggled some ideas so nothing was carved in stone.

[meggala]

would have ben nice to know there was a meeting

[Horus]

yer it was a relaxed gathering

too bad there werent enough people there to discuss anything concrete

[adznight]

Ah there was a few good points raised, I think it looks like this summer should be a lot of fun!

[Jamezilla]

Megs: PM sent.

[funkymonkey]

if there's a meet on sunday I'm there... be nice 2 be filled in on what's goin on

[Jamezilla]

Basically wanted to hold these regular meetings as a precursor to 'official' member meetings, as a method of guaging interest from people as to whether we should form a more official (read organised) club.

Interest thus far has been very positive - and as Wardest put it, paying $50 odd clams give you some form of ownership with what happens. That said - we have a minimum of 20 people keen. So I say we're good to go.

So - moving forward...

We need to set up a NPO (non-profit org) bank account and ABN. Things like application forms, member cards and t-shirt design need to be discussed also. As does creation and maintenance of the membership database.

There's a bit to go - but the ball is rolling the right direction.

On a less formal note - we spoke about a cruise in the coming weeks to Portsea, another club-based visit to Heathcote, a run to Emerald Lake (maybe even a ride on Puffing Billy) and some country-based runs. All reason for people to become paid up members

Wardest and Adz had the duel of the daily-drivers, Simpsons were on for a while, pots are $2.80 - Guiness $6.20.

[paulr33]

We should have a pub day or something

A nice pub with a beer garden in a week or so

james, when narkeh, meg, dox n me were tryin to set sumfin up we got the forms n stuff ready, think we also got a certificate of business name or sumfin (its with dox)

i got some documents and some forms here too, lemme know I'll drop by we'll work out the legal stuff out.

Think to set up an NPO we need:

Bank acct

Treasurer

PO Box

amongst other things. This is what wee were tryin to set up b4 we all gave up coz there was no interest.

[Wardest]

Well, there's interest now Monk.

Someone gimme a job!!!:burnout:

[R31Nismoid]

Funky...

Bring a few copies of those forms and stuff along to the next meeting (or give the to someone to bring)

So that we we can all have copies

[adznight]

Yar, ready and waiting.

Sunday is a better option if we want decent turnout numbers man.

But if you committee guys wanna have a private one then it'd be easier to get a communal agreement on a day during the week.

At the moment, at James' initiation, there are regular Wednesday meet ups at a bar somewhere, eg, the Keg this week. For chat purposes these are great.

I dunno what the consensus is but I think the 7:30 Wed meet up works nicely.

i think i'll go recuit a few more skyline drivers from exclusive now ^_^
