Evening all,
OK - over the last couple of weeks, I've been conversing with Steve Lack about a re-launch for the Kent ZG. For various (completely understandable) reasons, action has been a little quiet of late .
Anyways, we've had some initial ideas, and I'd like to put them forward for feedback, so if you'd be so kind, I'd like to garner some comments on the following:
1. "Days Out" - We'd like to organise some trips out, with the fundamental objectives being a run-out for our beloved motors, somewhere to have a good chin-wag and catch-up, something interesting to visit, and where possible, somewhere nice to park-up the cars and take some nice piccies. In essence, for a day-out, we'd like to avoid the traditional pub car park and look for something a bit different. It would be nice if we could get something like this organised bi-monthly.
2. "Regular Meet" - Realistically, we won't be able to get a day-out going everytime, so would like to have a fall-back of a regular pub meet, so for months when there isn't a day-out sorted, we could have a meeting nonetheless for the keen and/or lonely!
3. "Newsletter" - It would be nice to have a regular comminqué going out to any subscribers to the group to act as a reminder, share some general news, and let people know that the group is active. I'm going to start working on a launch one as soon as I have some feedback, and between Steve and I, we'll get it out to anyone who shows an interest, as well as existing Kent ZG members.
4. Maximum involvement - Any events that are going on will be cross-posted on 300zx.co.uk and 350zuk.com, anywhere we arrive, the greater the number, the greater the impact, so since we have the 3 forums all active now, it'd be nice to include everyone who fancies a given event - this should also drive subscribers to the Z-club, if these events are successful.
So, with this in mind, here's some of the things we've thought about, together with a potential timetable:
Possible Events:
- Clay Pigeon Shoot
- Buckmore Park Karting Event
- Vineyard Visit
- The Passion of Z Driving Day (more on this later)
- Christmas Dinner!
This is what we propose initially:
July - Nothing - Billing, of course!
August - Drive out to Beachy Head (great photo opportunities)
September - Innaugural Pub Meet - Henry's Table, Maidstone
October - TBA
November - Pub Meet
December - Christmas Dinner and good cheer to all Zedders!
So, what do you think?
Please feel free to indicate interest (or not), suggest ideas for events or comment in general. Drop me a PM if you'd like to go on the mailing list and let me know if you'd like this via e-mail, or via hard-copy.
I won't approach the other 2 forums, 'til I've had some feedback from club members.
CheerZ,
JB.
