21st Sept 2008 - All States B-series Meet and Show and Shine- Discussion

[Fev]

yeah it was sarcasm.. badly conveyed sarcasm hehe.


I just mean that because they are only around $3 each inc engraving. thats incredibly cheap, or are trophies usually around that? i would have thought more

[Doogstar]

Hey Daniel,

Is the date all set now?

Let me know and I will change the thread title.

[Fenix_XR]

Hey Doogs... date is set... 21st September
We can do a cruise on the 20th if enough people turn up... or are interested...

the price was bogus.. they are $65 including engraving each.....

this looks better.... 120mm @ $10.25 + free engraving...

[Fev]

Each! ouch.

So are you gonna be sending invitations out via email to everyone who has joined Bseries.com.au? it would definately ensure a good turnout! advertising aswell maybe? sponsors? ie site sponsors so they can set up tents and such? annual event!!! lol

[Fenix_XR]

don't know if it would be considered "SPAM" according to the policy that everyone signed up for as part of the B-Series webpage...

the B-Series Moderators would have to answer this question...

[Fev]

It wouldnt consider it beign spam at all. we're not trying to sell anything and since they have already signed up to bseries its just advertisement in somthing they can compete in - there's a few sick ba's in there and im sure they would relish the opportunity to show em off

[Fenix_XR]

Just got response back about hire of Hockey fields (which is right next to the highway and across the road from the BP truck Stop...)
$100 for the day...

Doogs... if we can send an email with the flyer I've got to the members on the Bseries page, that would be great...
Cheers
Daniel

[Doogstar]

I can send an email out to the 809 members of bseries.com.au , no worries. As it's official club business it will be okay.

Hey Daniel,

The flyer from the first post is gone! and it is better to send the text only anyway. Can you send me the info in a doc file ? and I will organise the mailout and put it back in the first post.

Cheers,
Doug

[Fev]

jesus i didnt realise it got so high!!! imagine how packed its gonna be if even half show up!!!!

[Fenix_XR]

Doogs... PM me your email address and I'll send a copy of the new flyer...

Edit:
here's a link instead...

[Fenix_XR]

Grum,

When you said you can cover prizes for a show and shine, does that mean you will buy the trophies or you had something else in mind?

[Fev]

who's gonna judge? Maybe we could get a supercar racing team involved? although im sure they would probably want money its worth a try

[Doogstar]

Okay I am going to start a new thread for an attendance list as this one is getting a bit cluttered.

Hey Daniel. once you see it please let me know if I should add anything to the first post. Once this is done I will organise a email out to all B-series members.

[Fev]

will the emails be sent out?

maybe something like:

"Dear Ford Bseries enthusiast(or lover etc)

"


thats just a rough idea for the email. maybe send some pictures or whatever too? how about a nice bseries.com.au letterhead :P

[Doogstar]

Well done mate, better than what I was going to send out.

I did try to send a mass mailout last night but it didn't work. Also will only allow text only, which is better to get past spam filters.

I will have another go.

[Fev]

fair enough - definately do whatever editing you think needs to be done though

[Fenix_XR]

how'd the sending go to all of Bseries members Doogs?
Although i'm sure you did plenty more on the spectacularly sunny weekend...

[Fev]

i hope you werent any where near that petrol station explosion there daniel!

A man has been burnt to death when a fuel tanker exploded at a service station between Dubbo and Parkes in central western New South Wales.

Police say two trucks were refuelling when the diesel tanker blew up about midday (AEST) at the service station in the town centre of Peak Hill.

The Ambulance Service says a man suffered burns to 90 per cent of his body and died at the scene.

Police say a second man is believed to have escaped uninjured but is being treated for shock.

Nearby houses, shops and two schools have been evacuated.

The fire has been put out but crews are still monitoring the situation.

[Fenix_XR]

From what I remember of Peak Hill, it must have knocked guts out most of the place...................

[Fev]

[Fenix_XR]

[Fev]

[Fenix_XR]

Does anyone know of a popular Holden forum that we can puplicise this event on?

[naddis01]

[Fev]

Hey doug, did you email the bseries members yet?

[Doogstar]

Have been trying to send out the emails, but for some reason it stalls and only sends out about 20 emails.
