AE25 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 hope those mobile bbq's are sorted out! would be pretty gut wrenching eh. thumbs down to anyone who pulls out the marshmellow on a stick. still waiting on confirmation from fergusons. cant get through to em. ive even offered to cover costs if numbers aren't sufficient.

AE25 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 mmkay ferguson will only open if they can do 11am - 2pm with a minimum $500 in sales or it not worth it for them. thats kinda getting borderline if we get a drenching and only 30 peeps hit the bar. what to do argg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Do you have any idea on how many people you think will be showing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE25 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 last year had 75 cars + non oldschool. just counted about 40+ on this thread. prob get 10 from club-k, 5 from zclub , 10 from datsun.co.nz then passengers and peeps that dont post. but we've never had semi wet forecast either and not everyone eats/drinks. if the people that have shown interest actually get there then we're good. but i'm not much of a gambler.

AE25 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 pulled the plug on the ferguson. too many If's and last minute stuff. Much more stress free/casual rocking the bbq diy styles. BYO meat for the BBQ shall we say 12pm get the cookers going. I'll bring my 3burner and utencils etc. feel free to use it. be good to have a backup/2nd burner going. I'll bring along precooks and do a sizzle for those that didn't know about BYO, but $1.50ea and it can go towards better advertising of event. feel free to offer a hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE25 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 geez similar thing happened. went to a wedding after the meet. got back to their place and house had been robbed. 1st time in 16years of living there. just reminds peeps to make sure insurance has everything valuable listed in the contents. cant replace things like gifted rolex watches or hand made gold jewelery. gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i've got insurance, don't know how pleased they will be though with me ringing and making another claim in less than a week. Hopefully this claim will be as painless as last weeks one.

Seedy Al Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 was a fucken mint time was first one of these I have been to i truley belive that this has the chance to be something huge. My opioion keep it the same weekend (as big day out) general consensus was a few few people only came because they were already up for that Get more advertising. maybe hit up this forumn and others, get some sponsership, get it in NZ PC etc and get the word out early. I feel the new location was mint, and also, keep it Mostly nostagic, but open it up to a (japanese car show), so run the same, Nostaligic cars down the bottom, Later model up the top. i feel this would help pull numbers and get more interest. Open up the idea of Car boot sale slash swap meet., i Know a lot of people have bits and pieces just sitting round, and this would make a good enviroment to try and sell these items. i for one bought a Car badge for my wagon. (rare too) thanks shaven Yake Do, it. I will even devote my time and maybe money into this. Although this is my first for all of them I have been keen to go and now that i am Closer to Auckland Am keen to go to any other. Mint Got fuck all pictures though, but did have a great time talking to the guy with the orange 240z Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE25 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 yer yer has worked out well so far. kinda keeping it on the down low, advertising on car forums only etc (the enthusiasts). I'll need a help organizing if it's to get any bigger or show like. There was a photographer taking pics for nzpc (keichi)? so never know.. might see something in the mag keep it the same weekend (as big day out) general consensus was a few few people only came because they were already up for that or missed it coz got smashed at BDO :lol: snapped some pics but not near enough. pics up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 yeah i think keeping it as a meet format than a show format though. like Hot old meets in japan, just run what you brung sort of stz But yeah, on that note, fucken thanks heaps For organising it Mr Ae-25, it was flucken sweet!
