So the main sub-forum areas are like:

Accomodation

Track rules and safety

Sponsor/Vendor site (for displays etc)

One for each state to plan the trip down/up/across etc

The Left Field (for cool ideas that cover the whole event)

Music Planning :D

Friday night events

Saturday events

Saturday night events

Sunday morning events

Post-Event Photos

 

not in relation to the evening venues -- we should all be in one place -- I would have thought

 

I couldn't agree more!

Cheers,
Hymee.

(Lets drive from all parts of the country to get together then do our own thing... WTF?)

 

Thanks xxup, great list -- I had some of 'em but not the full quota

 

I am talking about option within the menu. We're not having set dinner???? :p

 

Fair enough - I guess this could be possible... Some people are vegetarian, some can't eat shell fish etc.. Just remember that there is no Hilton in Gouldburn so there are limits on the type of food that is available..

Timbo - Looks like we need another sub-group named Food!

Cheers

 

Hmmm...I know who'd be good for that

 

D'oh! My bad. I misunderstood.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Depending on final numbers and where we are, I'd highly recommend negotiating a 1 price fits all 'banquet' kind of set-up for the Saturday night so it can be pre-paid.

Most decent restaurants, hotels, etc can cater for this and still enable some choice on the menu. They can also accommodate special dietary needs if told in advance.

If there's gonna be say 40-60 people at this thing, trust me - you do not want to be collecting money or splitting the bill. Can you just imagine 40 credit cards landing on the bill fold!! :D

Whether you do this on Friday night is another thing. As Friday will be more casual with people arriving at different times, it may be just as easy for people to order and pay for their own meals.

No doubt this can be thrashed out on the dedicated threads (as suggested by xxup) but I just thought I'd toss these thoughts in now.

 

Agree. I will be arriving around 5-6pm, change tyres, check pressure, run for a while, get a shower and change it will be 8pm.

 

Ever heard of credit card roulette? Everyone puts their credit card in a big bowl, and the last one drawn out gets the bill.

I don't want to rain on your party guys, but remember that not everyone shares the same level of enthusiasm for all of the "extra curricular" activities. Some of us purely see this as a chance to take our cars out on a real race track. Just be wary of overcommiting yourselves, we'd hate to disappoint you.

 

Taka,
I'm just posting here so its witnessed by all - I am DEFINATELY coming to Wakefield, even though I think the Moto GP at Phillip Island is on the same weekend. :D
Regards
Rick.

No sweat - we understand people are going to have differing levels of interest.

Personally, I think it's worth offering the extra-curricular stuff and if the numbers mean that we just order 5 pizzas somewhere that's fine.

And I don't think any of the organisers are keen to lash out on extra stuff until people have committed to same - i.e. coughed up some dough.

 

Queensland Update

Well - we now have eight confirmed attendees and I am working on number 9 whom I meet at the Murcott's driver training day today.. Number 10 may take the bait too, but he has not joined this forum yet..

More details are available from https://www.rx8club.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=322

All happening

 

Bump

It is very very close. I think we have an agreement on the cost and feature of the Nats. I am excited!



EDIT: Revolver said we don't... but we are definitely NOT on square 1.
We will do something though before the deadline (right people??) so PEOPLE SIGN UP.

REVOLVER SAID sign up to reduce cost!... am I being sued saying that :p

 

What he means is, that it's all lookin' good! We're working on a great value package and an exciting time for all participants

 

Oh yeah what he says :D

It is so good that I wish it happens sooner

 

Sheesh - and you reckon lawyers are good at the old verbal. :D

On behalf of the organising committee, I'd like to apologise for Taka's cyber diarrhoea and second Timbo's comments - it's looking very good but we're not there quite yet.

 

(Immodium taken).... :o
