Sub_Culture Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Evening all! When I had my Mazda, Clive from Mazda Rotary Club organised a day at Brooklands for all Rotary cars to come and show off in a nice sized show n' shine area. Fantastic atmosphere, coupled with an awesome location, and trophies etc for cleanest car etc etc. made a fantastic day. think entrance was something like £15 a head, purely just to cover the rent of the location really. Perhaps this might be a great idea for us? Now, Iam still relatively new, and if something like this is already done, shoot me down now! Appreciate it may be a little too late to organise for this year, but if we were to arrange something for Supra owners in, say, end of March/beginning of April, it could be kinda like a pre-show season meet for us all to get to know one another (as Im sure Im not the only new member over the last 12 months, as well as giving us all a good reason/excuse to shine up our cars and get our butts in gear for showtime! Would appreciate feedback. if it's an administrative contraint, I would be happy to organise something for us all? I think it could make a really good day.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 sounds like a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 We tried to do this last year, but it never happened. The big problem is the initial outlay of costs. It's ok if everyone who's coming pays up front then there will be enough funds for the booking of a track, food, etc. But the trouble is someone will have to lay out these costs and there is always a very high chance that not enough people will turn up to cover the event. This is why there are lots of local meets arranged, as they don't cost anything and nobody loses out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i would be up for this how about where James (terribleturner) had a drag event would that be a idea we could have a mini santapod for supes I think James is organising another Bovingdon meet, but in the summer and on the other side on the better tarmaced bit.

Bill Prawn Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think James is organising another Bovingdon meet, but in the summer and on the other side on the better tarmaced bit. Don't think this was the sort of event Sub_Culture had in mind. This was good fun last year but maybe a bit hectic for what he was suggesting. Where is the events co-ordinator when you need him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Please take a look at the proposed meet-up threads which are currently active..... there is a Gumball-style trip to France happening in May and there is a trip to the Nurburgring currently in set-up stage taking place in June. These events were setup to get a lot of owners together for a 'trip out'. Any event which requires a big payment to a track or landowner up-front is always going to create some issues... as already mentioned, getting people to pay upfront scares a lot of people away from commiting to the event. The problem is... is that we live in rip-off Britain where the cost to do anything car related is astronomical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=56191 Their's alway's this that i'm organising. Track, 1/4 mile and a static meet all in one with TOC, LOC, IMOC, MR2ROC, GT4OC and your goodselve's attending:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeysupra Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i think a central place where the whole club can meet up somewhere in the midlands would be a great idea maybe a summer meet and a winter one! not everyone can afford the gumball or a trip to nur so something everyone can attend would be really good. if we booked a site we could even invite the other clubs and charge them for entry too i would of thought that could make more than enough to cover costs:friday: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
