Jae 2008

[Bazza]

ok everybody August will soon start speeding towards us

what we need is not a load of people moaning about what they dont want !

what we do need is YOUR views and suggestions on how LOC as a whole can make things good for everyone

what we need are views and suggestions, and generally what works and what doesn't

please have your say, its your club, its your weekend !!

lets start chucking some ideas around

:D

plans debated about so far:

meet and greet members as they arrive

designated parking

no tents on the pitch

fencing pitch in

specific "meet up" times

courtesy entry tickets

name tags/contact details

raffle/competitions

Helpers :

Dave

Gord

Having never been to JAE yet i can't really say as i've no idea hows its laid out. but from what i've read a designated parking/show area and a seperate camping area seems like a good idea.

i agree, it serves a few purposes, mainly the pitch looks good, secondly it allows the lazy bones amongst us to have a lie in, thirdly it allows on pitch festivities without everyone moaning they were kept up all night

one of the cons is that some say they want to sleep within sight of their car, but to be honest its pretty secure, and i am sure people leave thier cars in far worse places

Bazza are we having the big tent ? as we could have a sort of time, to meet in the tent for everyone to get to know everyone.

yes the big tent will be there

good suggestion, one of the things that seems to occur is that people turn up and dont get to know everyone or even anyone

if we all had LOC t-shirts on we would at least have a clue if they were members

[johnboy]

We could have entry tickets, FOC of course, ,

Could have Forum name, first name and contact no. on it.

they are to be shown on entry to the pitch, then left on the dash.

We could design it and put it on the thread and they can be printed off

[Gord]

Are we having anything like last yrs, team events ? as this time might be good for everyone to form a team, last yr i didn't know about the truck pulling thing, so missed out on that.

I know from past years that lots of members have lots of Qs to ask (about anything) we could have sort of Q time, or book of Q's that members could write what thay wanting to know, and whow might be best to help them.

[johnboy]

When people arrive, they could head for the tent and sign a register, just so we know who has attended .

[johnboy]

We could speak to Steve and have LOC branded items from the store for sale, ie mugs, t-shirts and stickers etc..

I do have some LOC no. plates too, same as the ones in my sig.

We should get an itinery of team & other events within the next few weeks & like last year get posts up detailing them.

A meet & greet should enable us to remind everyone whats happening & when so they don't miss out :)

[Dave-Ellen]

The euro loc meeting you had like a name tag with proper name uswer name and car type

was on tape with the Lexus logo

they got a dealer to fund it..............

:o :tsktsk:

I think the meet and great is a brillaiant idea as last time i only met a small amount of members and would be good to meet as many as possible.

How about an LOC raffle, 5 a side football or some kind of sport.

I really need to get a tent as a night in my car wasnt the most comfortable i must admit!

Food ...... lot's of it!!! Chinese/bbq/spicy/minted anything and everything. Hopefully this time i will be able to stay for the food after paying for it

raffle and competitions will be on the list

football will be a no-no unless we can find a big open space well away from everyones cars, for obvious reasons

we have to try and locate some local takeaways, searches seem to produce not a lot,

to be honest having to run around collecting money, finding people and their orders is a lot of work, so this needs some suggestions

[johnboy]

I may take a run down there at the weekend to see whats there, then we know where we stand, but from what i can remember, there isnt much there, apart from on the various sites.

[Rikos]

I wasnt intending on playing banger on the cars

Just thought for a bit of a laugh some kind of sporting event.

Are we having a bbq again?

[w481ggc]

There's a fish & chip shop and chinese on the island and there is a football pitch there and small pool :)

[Gord]

Bazza, are we having memers help out ? on the other topic Dave, Chris and myself said we would help if we could :D

the more help the better it will be for all

not only does it lessen the work for everyone, it brings the group together

perhaps we can appoint jobs for everyone, so everyone has some evolvement in one way or another

you any good at putting up tents ??

dave,

are you familiar with the island, any contacts with local eateries would be very helpful
