Key points.

- Appointment of Club Captain

- Both Ray ( Raydeo ) and Jared ( Joker ) were nominated for this role and recieved

equal votes making a tie. Given that they both have a great deal of enthusiasm and

a desire for the club to succeed it was decided they will both share the role and

colaborate on voting issues as the Club Captain role only carries one vote.

- Appointment of Area Reps

- Nothing has been set in stone , but the following people will take up the roles for now.

It was the general agreement of the committee that if members are willing to

volunteer their time then they should be given a chance.

- Server Project / Webmaster

- The long awaited server project was discussed , from discussions it is clear that there

is alot to be gained from implementing this.

The reasons for the delays is down to lack of a webmaster to see this thru. Given the

desire for this project to be delivered , his existing knowledge and and willingness to

see things through Jon ( Funkytown ) has been appointed Club Webmaster

Jon will begin the process of finishing this and report back at the next meeting.

- Club Membership Restructure

- The idea to rework the clubs membership structure was raised by Raydeo and Joker.

This was discussed at length , and it appears that the changes can only be positive ,it

requires further investigation and working through but initially the benefits seem to be.

- More/Better discounts from sponsors

- Easier for members to get become involved with the club

- Build a more active/inclusive club

- Greater income for the club

- More reliable income

- Club Merchandise

- Debbie ( Clubsub Mum ) is currently working on Polo shirts as well as some other merchandise.

These will be made available to members on an as ordered basis once final designs have been approved by committee

- We\'re also working on another run of banners.

- MEGAMEET

- MM13 , Sadly this will not happen as a Clubsub event , however in conjunction with our friends at DOBC , we will be joining

their DOBC/Playday Trackday and adding some other social events to this to make a Subaru Megameet.

We will announce more on this as its sorted , but in the meantime , those wanting to get in on the

trackday should do so via Joe ( wildturkey ).

Hi All

Just a small update , the committee had a successful Skype meeting tonight.

Sean ( Deathzor ) our Webmaster has been working very hard on our new website and forum , although its still a lot of work to be done it is looking AMAZING - Thanks Sean

With the changeover there will be some downtime of the forum ( about 2 days ) late November , we will give you plenty of notice when we have a firm date.

Theres some cool new Merchandise in the works this will be available in our new online store as part of the new site.

Megameet 2014 is set to be based around a Trackday at Taupo Motorsport Park , we will have confirmed dates up ASAP so you can begin planning your travel ect. Looking around late April / early May.

Personally im very excited about what the future holds for Clubsub , I think these changes will firmly cement Clubsub as a professional and respectable car club in NZ.

More info when we have it

[Timmah]

Promising. Gear to hear Blair!

[Fastfour]
