regular melb event

[Tim]

ok.
Ive been thinking again. (and yes it does hurt)

What im thinking is that it would be nice to have a regular cruise schedule. Perhaps maybe one every second month. Id be happy to organise them or map them or whatever. The event may not necessarily be a cruise though. It could be a go-karting outting? a night out for pool and drinks? whatever. Just a regular gathering.

but yeah would the rest of you melbourne guys be in favour of a "first sunday of every second month" kinda setup?

anyways. share your thoughts with meeee.

if anyone wants to throw ideas at me without cluttering up the thread i can be abused on msn >>==> stpdhd@hotmail.com

I like the sound of that - works good for me.

this is what we do back in the uk, basically a monthly meet in the evening at a local pub with plenty of parking space and talk cars all night lol

ok the extra activies are great you just a regular to help arrange everything would be cool.

im up for helping out (done this sort of thing in the past lol)
i was thinking of setting one up but with out my VW i seem to lack some drive at the mo

[Tim]

Its been suggest to me that some people may prefer saturdays. Which is fine. But thats a day that i work 9 - 5 so unless it is some sort of evening activity then it will require someone else to step up to the plate and organise.

Also. If anyone has some cool ideas on what they wanna do. i can start penciling things in.

I find it disturbing that the syd guys can get 35 people to a cruise and the most we can muster is around 15 or so. I refuse to lay down and die! even if it means kidnapping, hog tying and stuffing 20 of you in my boot.

That's 35 cars actually! Definitely more people than that!

You can make that 16 or so very soon - I'm changing jobs shortly and that means no more weekend work so I plan on adding a few more kays to my Polo with you guys (I've only done 8000 in 12 months!). But the hog-tying doesn't sound like too bad of an idea either - save on petrol, chance to get to know people, etc.

getting good numbers just doesnt happen over night, its taken 18months for newportedition to get those numbers every month.
even if just 5 cars (or about 10 people) turn up its a starting point....remember its a marathon not a sprint as you want to keep this alive

we have been kicking about this place for longer than 18 months! interest has been dwindling i think just due to lack of direction.
And 5 cars makes for a great cruise yes! we did matts cruise to mt donna buang not long ago and had a great day. dont get me wrong. Im just stirring the pot.

Also having a regular thing organised i dont expect to see the same people every time.

if you have a look back towards some of the older threads then you will see a lot of potential get togethers have been abandonned due to lack of direction or clear indication of whats going to take place. Thats the main thing i want to avoid.

I'm up for it tim. give us a yell if you need/want help organising it.

It doesn't always have to be a cruise. Now the weather is getting back on our side, even a catch up during the week for a bite to eat would be good. Just a suegstion, why dont we organise a picknic at Albert park near our meeting point of late. It's a great spot to have a sausage sanga, a couple of tins and good old yarn.

Just a starting point...
