Ok so call mih de naysayer, grinch, toyota troll or whatever but here's my $0.02:

1. The 19th of August if I'm not mistaken is a weekday...is the assumption that we are all self-employed, unemployed, teachers or students? Cuz somehow dat doh make sense....ent the plan was for the 31st (last Sunday in de month?)

2. The venue.....not applicable for interested tuners who come from the east or those who think anything past Grand Bazaar is North Guyana. I would again use my limited common sense to suggest a Central Location....if not Mid Centre, then I'm open to suggestions.

3. The purpose of this meeting should NOT be to decide an executive. There's no terms of reference or even a draft constitution as to what the club's intent, scope and purpose is, as yet.

These simple things need to be decided upon and then recorded before elections take place. As a matter of fact, how formal is this Association going to be, because the more formal it is, the greater the responsibilites placed on ALL involved.

I would say that elections is almost the last step of forming any club. Again, my limited sense of judgement tells me that the next "lime" should really start as a serious brainstorming session to determine a way forward. At this gathering, a simple attendance sheet and a notepad is all that is needed....cameras are optional.

Who should attend? Any toyota owner with a serious interest in whatever the purpose of the club is....you don't have to come with your toyota vehicle. I'll say it again for those who may think this hinders their attendance: IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT WITH YOUR TOYOTA VEHICLE, FOR WHATEVER REASON, NO PROBLEM!!!

Anyway, that's about it for now...I'll leave it up to you guys to pick sense from nonsense. Oh, and one more thing....all ideas, thoughts, responses should be made on this thread...not via pm or email or phone calls.

That said, my contact for anyone who cares is 738-5863.

....if not Mid Centre, then I'm open to suggestions.

TGIF Chaguanas, Ruby Tuesdays (Chag or Grand Bazar), and there's a couple other places in central that have ample space.

I agree with gt4tified on the problems for both location an the day selected, cause coming from S. Grande to Princess Town is kinda.....out of the way, i'm also sure that there's people interested and coming from Arima as well but may think that the location selected is a bit far! and as for the day in question.....a tuesday is a bit weird for a meeting of this nature.

D3monic · Postby **D3monic** » August 14th, 2008, 10:00 am

well it would be nice if they do get a centralized location so that everyone can be there the date could have been set for a reason.... can the organizers pls reply let us know if any changes are going to be made !! :wink:

I have to come from work in POS and no way I can make P' Town for 5pm on any weekday. I think this applies to most who work in POS.

Good work boy Z, much better time and location, will def try and make this one once i get the overheating problem sorted out

Rx · Postby Rx » August 14th, 2008, 7:07 pm

Good work , guys. There are lots of benefits in starting your own Auto Club.

A few suggestions :

1. try to keep meetings in central locations - to facilitate north and south tuners

2. try to accomodated all / most ppl by meeting on a day when tuners have most free time , ie , weekends

3. try to encourage membership. Encourage car pooling etc . when having meets

4. have General Meeting in large spaces . Leave TGIF for Executive Meetings etc. when attendance is limited to just a few individuals. Imagine trying to get 50 tuners on one table at TGIF .

my 2c

Best wishes from the SUBARU Community.
