Do we have a club here?

[zanda]

Haha!

so the answer is, we get another section of the forums where the same people can dribble the same b/s - but this time with porn thrown in for good measure!!!

I'm all for porn!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

No, it's a members only area, not specifically designed for porn:p Where club events can be organised etc:p

that doesnt mean we can't have porn though? eh!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

If it will make you join then we'll get some for you:p

[RB20LagWagon]

IM pretty sure they just dont hand out CAMS affilliation, does the NSW chapter have it yet? Seal section? WOW, bring on the porn

[N I B]

We can get a lot of help inc CAMs by being part of the combined

car clubs group. We must be CAMS affilliated i think as Competition is good not just cruises.

[RB20LagWagon]

Yeah in the end cruises go no where, competition is where it is. Does SAU WA have what it takes to become a competing club? Except for the people that already do, id hope so. Myself however im not skilled enough to be a passable circuit racer. An import drag racing scene is something i would like to help establish, but it needs to be a national thing, or ANDRA

[GTS-t VSPEC]

We will look into ANDRA affiliation aswell, but CAMS is the main thing. It doesn't have to be just circuit racing, motorkhana's etc are great fun:D

We already have meets, group buys, get good prices from dealers that post here etc etc, how is paying money into a group going to make this better. I dont think lining the pockets of insurance companies and auditors is worth it just so we can say "oh look we are an offical club"

this is the major hurdle that has stopped us everytime

people see these deals find there cheap supplier and are quite happy turning up for the odd cruise all for free.

there are pros and cons for both sides its up to us as a whole to decide if its worth the time to set up and what direction we want for a club. Will it be broad ranged so ricers and racers can commune together or will one faction be seen as an outcast etc.

with the cams affiliation u need to be an incorperated body or they want look at u. also your constitution has to be accepted by cams.

cams allows u to run your own events eg we could have a SAU hillclimb or motorkhana.

we can issue level 2 licences and also help people train to become accreditted motorsport officals. CAMS covers most of our motorsport needs and can help on the social side as being CAMS affiliated provided either 20million or 200million PLI as part of the deal for cruise or club events what ever they may be.

[zanda]

I dont know about everyone else, but I dont think Im rich enough to do circuit/motorkhana stuff every other weekend.

I'd end up breaking too much stuff.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Troy, I like the sound of SAU motorkhana's etc:D

[skyzerr33]

u don't have to do it every other weekend

the nissan car club mainly 4wd ie patrol oriented has one motorkhana a year and afew offroad rallys and thats it.

anyways i seem to have chucked the info out.

CAMS and the Ministry of Fair Trading send out info packs filled with all the info you need.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Alex, It would most likely be bi-monthly event's

[skyzerr33]

i sudjest everyone read this from the ATO

Clubpack

[skyzerr33]

more homework for u

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Troy, I read them both, my personal fave was the DOCEP one:D

Doesn't look too difficult, even I understood it:D

[skyzerr33]

yeah the DOCEP one was the pack i had b4

they send out all the forms, a skeleton constitution etc

then with the cams affiliation pack u get another example constitution and u just take the best bits of both like NSW did and your most of the way there with the paper work.

:confused:

okay.

:slap:

[skyzerr33]

he means every two months but 1/4ly would be better if we have cruises etc inbetween.

as u need 6 weeks notice to get the cams ok for the motorsport events

[red900ss]

Hi peeps,

just thought I'd throw in my $0.02.

I was part of the team that set up the NSW club. We decided early on that what we wanted was a fully fledged club that included social, competition, non-competition, training, etc., events.

To do any of these you need insurance and CAMS is very cost effective insurance. For the competition events you also need licenses, so CAMS once again was necessary. There is also the benefit of having your PLI for club meetings (i.e. monthly meetings, social nights etc.) included in the annual fee (no extra cost).

As it stands today cruises, or any time the club organises a drive, require PLI. Seems crazy I know but we live in strange times. CAMS is seeking clarification on this with their insurers, but don't hold your breath.

Now to get CAMS affiliation you need to jump through a few hoops. Getting approval from Nissan Oz to use the Skyline name is one thing, writing the Club Rules and Constitution is another.

Look through some other clubs' rules and pick out what you want. CAMS supply a basic framework which I built on for the NSW Rules. Cut and paste ours if you like. Just make sure they suit YOU is the main thing.

Good Luck and see you at the Skyline Nationals in 200X.
