AO Cyprus club meetings

[AlfaGrale]

Does anyone knows when is the next AO club meeting in Cyprus?
Since I bought my first Alfa there were only 2 meetings (one was the beach volley in Larnaca) and I couldn't be in any of the 2.
I maybe wrong but It looks like that we are not very "active", aren't we?

unfortunately you are right.

the weight of organizing a meet or an event has been left on two people only !
The problem is, that if one person or two have to make 60 phone calls, only 20 of those say they will come, then book a restaurant, get a price, organize a route to get there which will be fair to the guys from Limassol as well.

Then at the day of the event, if we say 10 o clock in the morning, this means that they will keep on comming until 11 o clock which messes up the whole program.
from the 20 cars we expect to show, only 15 show and the rest dont even answer their phones.

then we need to get people to understand that we cannot act like we are 8 years old in the streets, no overtaking, no high speed races, no rubber burning etc.

Its a lot of work that takes days to organise and not many people appreciate it

so we have decided to do the following.
We gave our club papers to an advocate to proceed with the listing of the club. we charge 10 euro for enrollment and 20 for a yearly membership.
this way we can have only members who are really interrested !
secondly, starting from 2010 there will be a yearly meet / discussion to decide from the beginning of each year, what events/competitions will take place and where.
these events will be in such a way, so if someone cant come at one event he can come at another!

plus from next year we will only contact by phone the listed and paid members in order to save our time and efforts
We started off many years ago, with 3 events per year.
This year we had 2 events and we are planning another one by the end of November

Oh!
Good to know all that!
I would love to be an active member of the club and try to help as much as I can.
If you want I can give you my personal email (the one that I use every day for work) to contact me if you need any help.

[Supercharged16v]

sure, you can pm me with your email and your phone number if you like so we can talk

May I propose an event that we could do?
GO KARTS events!!!
It will be a lot of fun assuming that a lot of Alfa Owners likes "racing" sports :

[Supercharged16v]

That has been one of my suggestions in the past as well ... I dont really know why we havent done this yet

How about we do this end of November ?

[AlfaGrale]

FANTASTIC!!!!
We can use that Daytona Raceway in Dali (In the exit for Tseri comming from Limassol)

[Supercharged16v]

I was actually thinking Dromolaksia ! So it could be easier for the guys from Limassol as well

[AlfaGrale]

No problem!!!!
We can use that too

Our event for bowling is a good opportunity to talk about it! I think an event at the end of November is great .
