Club Update

[Gary1]

Thank You Ska.

Hey chaos, you gotta remember that slip and Gary probably have lives that dont revolve around SAU and they are giving up their spare time and doing a lot of running around and organising in their own time, so yeah it's taken them a while but are you going to pay them a full time wage so that they can quit their repesctive jobs and do the organising full time?

 

I am not trying to put you down or bag you in any way, these guys are probably doing the best that they can, so why not just be patient?

Well put Ska, it is VERY hard to find time these days and the efforts of Gary and Slip should be recognised by all.

In my early days I was very active with Pulsar Group, not a club, as in not incorporated merely a group which is different, but it is alot harder to get sponsors of a group.

We don't all go to school and finish at 3 or uni and have 12 contact hours, some of us work bloody long hours to enjoy our lines and the added stress of dealing and waiting on others is not good.

Slip and Gary I'll buy you a beer anytime, great work guys!!!

Well said Bob

I Sincerly Applogise for my above post. I did not intend in anyway to Dis-respect Gary or Slip in anyway. I was simply putting forward my assumptions that i was under from the previous update thread. I do understand Gary and Slip both work fulltime and have worked hard over the past months to get this club up and running and i was in no way having a go at them for not working.

So once again i Applogise.

Chaos - We have actually done updates before this one, it went largely unnoticed.

Given your circumstances, I don't understand how this is such a big issue for you.

2 hour round trip just to get 1 sponsors logo anyone? Waiting almost 6 months for another?

We just got the shirt price back, so everything is sussed.

Sponsorship deals, membership prices etc all to be announced very soon.

PS, we are not talking about hundreds of dollars in expenses to get this thing started, it's in the thousands, so please join up when we launch.

[chaos]

It wasnt a huge issue for me it was for other members i have been talking to who do own lines.

and were u asking me to join or was that just a general comment?

[Revhead]

Gary and slip have really been the driving force behind getting SAU Qld up and running (OK that was a bad pun!!). Yes, both have full-time jobs that have nothing to do with SAU and yes, both have contributed bucketloads of their own moolah to get things happening. The amount of things that need to happen for the club to be officially recognised is phenomenal, and the fact that it's happening AT ALL, particularly as it's being organised during spare time, is a tribute to the dedication both of the guys have to the Skyline scene.

Ben, you don't have to join if you don't want to but it certainly wouldn't be frowned upon I don't think slip's comment was aimed at anyone in particular - we need as many members as possible just to recoup the money that Gary and slip have spent, let alone to pay recurrent costs, "behind the scenes" stuff and once-off outlays to make your life behind the wheel that little bit more worthwhile!

Everyone's been really patient up till now - just hold out a little bit longer, we're nearly there! Don't forget that every member of the board is as fanatical about Skylines as anyone else on these forums - we'd like to see it up and running ASAP too, we just want to make sure it's done properly to avoid hiccups further down the track.

If we have this level of enthusiasm when the club is up and running, we're on a winner.

[Ska]

Yeah if there is the same responce to becoming a member as the reaction to the thursday night meets, all will be sweet!

[chaos]

I plan on joinning car or no car its not gonna stop me

[jaqule]

Great work done by all , it is so good to see some action . I have done the whole t'shirts , sponsor thing before with a sports club and it is not fun , but the rewards afterwards was worth it . SO going to be there for the launch , once I move to bris in two weeks and am able to walk on my now broken ankle ............ but yes I will be there ready to rock

[dAVE]

Well, I must say, Slip has done very well indeed. Must give credit to you guys as I never thought I would see this get off the ground... and you have beaten VIC to it!!

[Gary1]

Hello All,

I should be seeing the final lay out of the shirts tomorrow in colour and all. Hopefully he will have one made for me to look at.

Just thought some of you would like to know.

Cheers

Gary

[Ska]

Does an HR31 count as an acceptable skyline ?

[Ska]

Why wouldnt it? V8skylineMAN has a 1977 Skyline, doesnt he?

[Zoix]

um this web page is dedicated to skylines.

As long as its a skyline as it leave the factory, it counts
