Plus they had sponsorship

[Blind Kid Seeks]

Plus they had sponsorship

from who?

[-JC-]

Brennden (SB) would be the best to talk to mate.

The sponsors were mainly contacts that SB has up here in the industry, a toyota dealer, CES, etc etc

Flick SB, Azza or Northy a PM mate, they had a fair bit to do with it.

[xoom]

Just wanted to start off some kind of sounding board for the next national meet.

Would love for it to be held in Melbourne next... and after a few brief discussions with Mario, Zoran and Jarrod (who attended the last national meet) theres no reason why we cant facilitate the meet here.

Just wanted to ask a few questions of the organisers of the last national meet....

1. Where did you suggest the interstate attendees should be accomodated? were they billited out? or was it more of a "organise your own accomodation" type of deal.

2. Did you have awards? who judged them? moderators?

hey mate,

1) accommodation was kinda bulk organised either SB or M_M sorted it out .... not sure ...... either way basically he or one of the guys ducked into the local F1 and highlighted we were organising a group sortta booking but had numbers kinda sorted from memory ...... then each of the interstaters rang the f1 themselves and let them know they were part of the group and it was sorted accordingly.

2) Yes there were awards ..... different awards had different judges ..... so there was awards chosen by those @ the show vs the sponsors chose a winner or 2 etc etc .....

Plus they had sponsorship

yep SB used the gift of the gab to talk a lot of places into contributing even getting a toyota dealership to give up some parking space for the show to happen .......

Effectively guys what needs to happen is a lot of ringing around and lots of discussions with business, people in the industry etc etc if ur going to want to make this happen and happen better than the QLD one ..... So come on fellas from down south .... pull the finger out and get to it ;) ;) ;) ;)

[X-Power]

if u make it happen in Canberra, im pretty sure i can make all those happening :P

plus every one more than welcome to come after the party crash at my house lol

i am so in for this canberra meet up.

[bonbon]

canberra sounds good!

[-JC-]

Canberra would be great.

For the QLDers that would attend, we can crash my little bro's house in Trangie NSW (bout an hour west of Dubbo) at half way (or thereabouts), I will tell him to get the beers on ice, plenty of parking and room to crash etc. Maybe I should let him know . . . . . . nah, that wouldn't be any fun. :D

I think it's only fair that it be held in Melbourne.

The guys from Melbourne made the effort to drive to Brisbane this year.

... I don't mind where it is. I just thought the decision was already made to hold it in Melbourne. :(

i agree!!

we can have one of our monthly cruises down to canberra too late to organise a day trip in september down there but as the weather warms up i would love one last sunday of october as i will be on annual leave. but about the annual meet it is locked into being at melbourne next year!! that and i need to visit the cadbury factory :P spirit of tasmania here i come :D

anyone else up for a drive?

[bonbon]

hahha ill be in if im not locked into work

[SuperDave]

Since we have a growing group from WA I feel the WA people should organise a rival meet, East v West coast. That way it might encourage people to attend so that those smelly <insert opposite cost here> don't beat them

If the meet is organised around some track days in Vic I will defiantly be there! As for the QLDers, I've no idea the costs involved in booking out a car carrier, but thats an option instead of driving for 2 days there and again on the return leg.

[DHC09]

Just make sure the awards are this big, and everyone will show up :D

But that's half the fun Dave... ;)

Perth is the most Isolated city in the world ie: there is no capital city that has that much distance from another major (capital) city.

on a side note... I contacted Toyota Motor corp today for a sponsorship deal... will keep you all posted.

yes and we dont need to be reminded about tht. I assure you that we get a lot of that already! SUCKS!

[trdsaads]

If its in Melbs, then i'll be going. Whether i take my car or not, is another story, but irrespective of that theres a good chance ill go.

In the mean time, i may aswell suss out cost involved in respect to transporting the car(s)

I guess, sooner or later W.A. has to have their turn to hold a national meet, but we'll save that for another time!

2009 the National Meet will be in Melbourne. Mods have already decied that it will be there and some have already started some preliminary organisation. 2010 it will more than likely be in Perth/Adelaide perhaps.

You guys do have a lot of work to do. Trust me on that one. I started organising the Nat meet this year in november 2007. So near enough to 8 months of phone calls, visits to potential sponsors and sussing out locations for events to be held.

Plus trying to get some of the slack people to actually commit to coming nearly a year in advance. Book your holidays and don't use work as an excuse. I booked my holidays december 2007 knowing I would need the thursday and friday before the weekend to finish things off and pick stuff up. Not a hard thing to do really.

If any of the Melbourne crew want some insight/info about what has to be done then drop me a PM. Happy to help!!

I was implying the WA people hold their own meet at the same time as competition. Gives them something to do and keeps them off the streets :P
