January/New Year Kick Off Meet????

[NJSPEEDER]

hey gang,
we have been kicking around the idea of putting together a larger, more formal gathering for our january meet. by formal i don't mean black tie or anything, jsut something more structured with some entertainment, prizes, awards, and a catered/buffet dinner.
one of the things that will determine how much we can offer and how good the food and entertainment can be is how much everyone would be willing to pay to preregister for a meet like this and how would you like the food served.

thus the poll commences. :)

[Tsar]

is this the big annoucement u couldnt tell me about? :lol:

[NJSPEEDER]

nope. but i am sure there will be big announcements at the janury meet too :)
expect to see soem announcemetns by the end of the weekend.

[Tru2Chevy]

:werd: im with this guy!

however naked 22 y/o must be at least an 8!

[j0n]

question...alcohol...i think you know what i mean...lmk and ill provide an answer

[NJSPEEDER]

drinks can definately be arranged. depending on what we set up we can do either a cash bar, BYOB, or have it included in the price.
including alcohol in the price would dramatically increase the costs though.

[j0n]

i think byob is the best bet...but...will byob be allowed for some of the younger members?

[Savage_Messiah]

j0n take it to PMs... PM me too tho


I'm all for buffet style

[Ian]

I think I'm gonna dress up for this...you know....set a good example and look half way respectable. Plus I don't dress up very often so its kinda fun when I get the chance.

[NJSPEEDER]

i think byob is the best bet...but...will byob be allowed for some of the younger members?

since being caught would basically cost us the club, i am gonna have to go with no.

[BigAls87Z28]

Time to dust off the tux and shine up the shoes.
Would this be at a hall or would this be relegated to someones house?

[j0n]

i vote option #5...no

[Tru2Chevy]

Would this be at a hall or would this be relegated to someones house?

We are looking into renting a banquet hall/VFW type place.

[Untamed]

I think buffet is a good idea. I would also encourage the familes of members to attend, if thats at all possible, making it easier for some of us to get there. :nod:

As for the alcohol, I would make it cash bar if at all. Something that is structured like this doesn't need to turn into a drunken rally, and like Tim mentioned, a cause for loosing the club. If some folks can't go a few hours without a drink, they really should find help.

I'm all for structured, family-friendly events.

[NJSPEEDER]

untamed, we are trying to be as family oriented as possible with our meets. that is why we have steered clear of some possible meeting locations. hot rodding is a family friendly hobby, and we make every effort to be a family friendly club.

i will ask about the cash bar thing and see how that would effect pricing, if at all.

[baddest434]

cash bar definately imo thats alot safer and smarter way to do it.
hell it would be nothing for someone to just load up the truck of the car and have a mini liquor store. point being you would probally run out off money before the trunk was empty.

i would volunteer to be a DD for anyone who lives close to me and wanted to drink.

[NJSPEEDER]

good idea bill. once everything is locked in we will make a DD list so people can car pool with non-drinkers.

[j0n]

If some folks can't go a few hours without a drink, they really should find help.

If this was directed at me that is not the case...New years = drinking...thats just the way its always been and will always be...if this were a january meet and not a new years bash id agree with alcohol, but on new years things are different

[Tru2Chevy]

I think you are mistaken Jon. We aren't planning on doing this on New Year's Eve.....

- Justin

[NJSPEEDER]

j0n, even if this was a new year's eve bash, underage drinking would not be approved.

Good call. A cash bar puts the legal weight on the facitlity.

As a guy over 21 with a family, mortgage, job, etc., I'm not looking for the potential trouble drinking with underage people can bring. I'm sure I am not alone on this. Nothing personal to the under 21 crowd.

[Savage_Messiah]

Jon... this IS for the january meet, just liek a "hey it's 2007 now, woohoo, it's been that was for a few days or weeks now, yay" thing

[BigAls87Z28]

If this was directed at me that is not the case...every day = drinking and not checking id's...thats just the way its always been and will always be...

annnnnnnd fixed :lol:

Nah it wasn't. Just a general statement, though you happen to fit the description by all accounts. :lol: We have several heavy drinkers here.

Family friendly is a good thing. Just need to get enough advance notice to block out the time.

[Squirrel]

cmon now...we know NYE is my house:D

[Tru2Chevy]

Yes, we know this.

Cash bar may be ok. Plus it would be cool to see you car people out of the overalls and into some slacks and button down shirts, haha. A fancier meet sounds fabulous.

Overalls? Please. Maybe them farmer types down south (cue banjos).

The best you are getting from me is the same business casual I wear to work – pants & collared shirt. :)

[Ian]

It would be hilarious if I rented a tux for this :lol:

[Savage_Messiah]

I'd rock a tux :lol:

[Jclt12003]

i'll be there. As long as it's not a bizillion miles away. The Meet we had that one time near trenton at the tavern i forget the name of it was kinda cool.

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm gonna guess it'll be as close to the middle of the state as possible... or ewing somewhere

[jimmyboy8301]

what makes you say ewing????????????????

[Savage_Messiah]

uhh i dont know, maybe the 74259784625987342 members, both admins, and 1/2 the mods that are from there? :lol: I say we make it northeast NJ tho. ;)

[NJSPEEDER]

the main place we are actually looking at is in ewing. although it was suggested by someone who lives an hour or more away, so you can't blame me for this one. lol

[Savage_Messiah]

Which ass sugested that? :lol:

I feel another poll coming on...

oh **** i just caught that ahahahahaha

[Tru2Chevy]

Which ass sugested that? :lol:

We'll give him the credit if we end up using his suggestion. Then you can go yell at him.

[Savage_Messiah]

[NJSPEEDER]

wouldn't you do better going after him with a car key or some other potential weapon that isn't taller than you? :p
