Idea: Trading Skills and Night cruise

[Kaido_RR]

Hello :wavey:

Ok i have an idea for a big event for the SAUWA club, its kind of a trading serect/skills day, i bet most of yous dont understand what i mean so i will explain; a day where we hire out a park or use a workshop (sst ect) and have ahole heap of members (the more people the better) come and down and share there skills with out memebers. We could also have a few people bring tools, so if people want to install parts ect we could all join in and help.

I will also try to get a few shops down, so maybe we can have some parts ect on sale or something like that, if it is at a workshop that may be hard, but then again we could have a dyno comp also on the day.

AFter all the trading ect we could have a nice BBQ then a night cruise to finish on the night.

I know im not a person who does the event ect, but i will be more than happy to get it all done (ring the places ect ect) as i really wanna do this.

Now i dont think that the day will work unless we have alot of people coming down maybe around 40 or 50cars would be perfect (i would say no more than 70 depending on the place where we hold it). If i get like 30 or 40 people for it then i will set a date (late april or maybe later) and get everything all fix up for us.

I have no idea about planing a cruise so maybe, someone can help me out there (more than happy 2 print out the maps ect)

Any input would be nice

Thankyou Mike

Bam how did it turn out...? im tring to get invole with the club and give something back as i taken so much from the members who i ask question2 day and night

[G0DF4Th3R]

Mikey - didnt go for that so i wouldnt know

try searching back 6 months or so

sorry not much of a help

[chaos]

They did something like that here at bob jane Tmart one of their shops has sponsered our club and they had a Q & A nite with a BBQ drinks etc. From what i heard it was small but really good.

[Kaido_RR]

ben, i was thinking on doing it on a big lvl but it that isnt possible a small one would also be very nice

[chaos]

well it would haev been big but the club has really only become a club in the last few months.

[yurigtr]

not a bad idea at all mikey, but like what bam said, it has be done before and i am sure the last one was very successful.

Best to ask SAU WA Committee

ok just found the old thread and i through i add what it said in here:

Skills Swapping, Sun 21 Sep 2003?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To confirm what has been discussed in the general WA section about a skill swapping day, I will just give a brief overview of the aim of the day.

A day where members can meet in an open space and we basically help each other with some of the simple things mechanically, or electrical, cosmetic, whatever you can think of, on our cars. A chance to do all of those little things you have been putting off.

Everyone bring their tools, their skills, hopefully we will find a place with BBQ facilities. Bring beer.

Some of our mechanically minded members have offered their services, and will show people how to do simple things such as fluid changes, break pad changes and some simple stereo fitting, speakers etc. YOU WILL REPAY THEM BY PROVIDING THEM WITH BEER, or a token payment (a fraction of what you would have paid someone else to do it).

Please post here if you have a relevant skill to add to the day, or if you have something you would like some help with. Hopefully we will all learn something.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- if we plan on cruise better easy on the drink

- People are welcome to sell stuff (i think this is a good idea, as people can buy them install on the day)

[chaos]

no drinks for you mikey only softdrink

[Kaido_RR]

the main idea was to have a "welcome mikey to sauwa club" cruise but then thinking about it, i through not many people would turn up so i better make it more appealing for the rest of the members as some have a problem with me hehehe (just jokinn )

[chaos]

sure you are mikey

im trying to organise it to come over to perth in june

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Mikey, I think it's best to approach Liz and Dan, as they are the Event's Organisers for SAUWA, and will be able to help you, and provide some insight into what is involved in running an event.

Cheers

yes we had one last year

we just happened to pick day when it was pooring with rain.

we had about 15ppl show up.

[MrGTST]

Provided a suitable time is picked then count me in.... I would love to find out how to change my own oils and basic upkeeping tasks and possibly so "bolt on mods"

[fane]

for showed up the old rainy location but it was changed to rocko carpark

[Sneeza]

Mike - that is a great idea. Feel free to speak to dan and myself about it if you want to go ahead. It may also be a good opportunity to raise some funds for the club!

Can I suggest maybe putting up a poll to get an general idea to see if this event will attract any interest??

[dan_the_man]

Well done mike!

Top idea. As Liz said pm liz or myself about it and we can get the ball rolling

ot: Good luck with ur driving test today

Sounds interesting though...
