Sandman Car Club Thread

[Alien DNA]

I guess the only way to cover us all is to have a main body and have chapters under that. ie: mySandman car club of Australia....and have the Vic chapter, nsw chapter etc etc. All following the same rules, regulations and guidelines. I think one thing that will be a pain in the arse is how different states have different rules for modified cars. One rule wont fit all chapters.

I've often thought about this and was going to suggest getting in ouch with the guys that used to run the Sandman Owners Club. I think they are still about and frequent the forum seldomly? There ha been a bit of criticism about those joining clubs for the club permit and not being active members- my self included. However if their we're a club that I was passionate about I would be an active member.

There are other clubs that are national and have the state chapters as you have noted. One of the largest is ASRF of which I'm a member.

It would be interesting to note if their are other forum regulars that already have club memberships that would be interested in a Sandman club? Not that I would want to cause a defect from the other clubs.

There's a lot of research to find out what's required to establish a club and the arrangements with each state rego authority.

A lot to consider, a Mysandman club may change the current 'feel' of the forum and once you have paying members some may think they have an ownership. Perhaps it could work in a parallel to the forum, interlinked but separate. I'm very conscious of the effort and goodwill that has transpired from Blocker and respectful not to risk tarnishing what has been established already. Not that I think it would, should be very complimentary and feed of each other.

I'd be happy to be involved but I'm time starved like the majority of others. I deal with numerous clubs of varying scales being a Community Banker, some are effectively small businesses which is fine, but can push the realms of volunteerism. But as long as people are involved for the right reasons, and are passionate, personable and capable it could be a good thing.

I'd be happy to talk to the boss (Blocker) and others if you want to explore it a bit further??

Cheers,
