Hi Sistas & Bros

The 8 club's members has grown from since 20++ to 90++ till date, & is time to officially organise our club. Many many ideas have been surfaced to make the club interesting eg like activities..... I suggest that why dun we elect a chairman/president, a vice chairman/president, persons to in-charge of activities, merchandiser (eg polo, decal etc), general matters etc etc...

I feel that with this committee, the 8 club will run efficiently & effectively.

btw... I suggested earlier that we may even wanna pull out from here & host our own 8 forum for sg & maybe register the club officially in future

This is just a draft (coz there are more things to be done ),

any comments from you guys & gals?

Cheers

 

One little suggestion Boss - pls show for the meets! :p :D

In all seriousness, me suggest a poll for office. Me nominate Cannavaro for merchandise and Coupe07 for polishing activities! Me happy to be partipant

 

You will be the Publicity Chairman Don't forget to change another item - the rims. Cheers!

 

agree!!! change that rims man..... got for andrews, andrew!! :D :D

 

HOW CAN I BE IN CHARGE OF POLISHING when ur car is shinier than mine??? :D :D

 

good to organise the activities and have some designated people to work on the activities.

on your point to register the club officially, did you mean to register in registrar of societies? quite a big proj on its own. few things:
- need to prepare constitution
- need a place of business to keep club records and accounts (any bros willing to let his place to be used as place of business?)
- yearly affair:prepare accounts, AGM, etc.

although not necessary, would be good to have someone with legal background to help with the formation and necessary docs.

think alfa is the only car club registered with registrar of societies (ROS). got a friend in the committee. quite busy i must say.

think we may just want to keep status quo. what we could do is to first start another forum (delphi? any other free forums?) or something, designate some people to manage forum/activities. we could see how it progresses and decide on the next steps.

 

Register under Clubs & Societies maybe future plans after we have really settled down & have enough members

We'll host another (paid) forum beside delphis or other free forum becoz the 8 forum in delphi which I started a year plus ago...looks unprofessional in delphi!

 

yah...Publicity...a person to be in charge

 

What happens if we sell our car, eventually it will happen, what happens to the club then ?

 

The club will still goes on....let say the helm's men sold their rides, they can pass down their responsibility to the rest of the members...etc

i feel dat not all the 8 owners will give up thier rides at the same time & eventually no one is having the 8.....hmmm dun think so ......but the no. of 8s will be increasing

 

Publicity should be handled by a chick or - better - a group of chicks! :D

As for the rims - LOW BLOW! Literally! :p Maybe me should start a donation drive for rims eh!?

 

Don't be so shy! U be in charge and me can participate! Like me said in me first post! :p

As for the rims - care to make a donation? :o :D

 

Getting RCB registration is easy enuf - it's the follow up that's a hard act. Me don't think it's really necessary for now - the club is for informal fun. Wait until we want serious formal fun eh? :D

Besides - not that many of us. Me guess Alfa club different cos it doesn't sound as if they distinguish between the different Alfa makes/types. But good of Sandman to raise it!

Boss - exclusive forum sounds good! But suggest we need to ask, and now me will, whether anyone here is good with techie stuff to help set it up and keep it going

 

Mesuggest we all enjoy the moment - and cross that bridge when we get to it, if ever! :D

*sung* Nothing lasts forever... even though November Rain... *no more singing* :p

 

Dave, while I agree on the need to establish some kind of RX-8 Club Singapore identity and to have our own club website/forum, I don't think there is any member who has the expertise AND the time to get it up and running. Thus, I feel that there will inevitably be some monetary contribution required to get this done. May I suggest starting a poll to see how many members are in support of this idea AND willing to commit to sharing the cost of setting up our own club website and forum. And since there is money involved, I also suggest a treasurer be nominated for transparency of accounts.

 

setting up a forum is not a problem...
takes less than 3 hours if the proper codes are found
my own testing forum is located at click here

once the skin is decided on and a domain and server is registered for it to be uploaded then ....taaa daaa!!! its there
maintenance is a breeze!!!

 

Yup is that simple.......is the skin....hmmm thinking of getting a server for myself

 

Ok, back from my hiatus... Even if setting up a forum and maintenance is easy, there is still the cost of setting up the domain and web hosting among other costs. I think it inevitably will involve some amount money and it's not fair to ask the boss to shoulder the responsibility of footing all the bills. If it's a CLUB, then I think it's only fair that the members (at least the core members) help to chip in. My $0.02.

 

wot?? you only chipping in 2 cents? how can! hahaha... just kidding. :p think chipping in is not a prob esp since if u drive an 8, think smll amt is not a prob. maybe we can start by finding out wat's the total cost of setting tis up. think domain and web hosting is quite cheap now rite?

 

How about raising $$$ by selling some exclusive RX8 items to members eg RX8Club car decal and channel the profit for this project. Cheers!

 

this is the best idea!! since the polo tee has been done, the only channel to raise funds now is decals!!

 

does 1 decal a buck sound good?
profits can go to the funds...
minimum purchase of 500 pieces...
overall profit should be around 80 to 100 bucks ...
more than sufficient for a website i think

 

Bro... problem is, we can't sell that many pieces. We'll end up spending more money producing the decals than we can make from selling them.

 

we definitely dun have 500 members. even if each member take 2 pieces, we still cun make up 500 pieces.....

 

Hi Gals & Guys

I have yet to get all the votes from our members to have our veri own forum/site. However I will go ahead to setup our veri own 8 forum/site........I'll get all the details, finalise it & hopefully to set-up the site/forum by end of July or latest by Aug coz by then will be the 2nd aniversary for the 1st batch of the 8s.....


Is it ok?
