A Show Of Interest

[thunderoo]

Hello all...There is no Ford car clubs here in the mid north coast of NSW...Myself and a freind of mine has started to get some interest from people in our area ( Port Macqurie ). Ive had a chat with Andrew Miedecke ( owner of the Ford dealership ) and he is very keen to trow in some sponsorship and also throw in free merchandise and offer discounts on all parts and merchandise to all members. But first of all we are trying to get an idea on how many people in our area that own a Ford ( up until 87....any car before the E- Series ) that would be willing to get together as a group and kickstarting a cruise and BBQ day with the family and freinds. If any one that does fit in this catorgory and is interested please PM me with your name and phone number and i will contact you. An add in the local paper will be placed shortly offering the same deal and hopefully soon form a social club and then advance to a fully registered club. So if anybody out there lives on the mid north coast of NSW and wants to start a social club to start off with please PM me so i can get some numbers together and get things rolling. You dont need a street machine to join...just a passion for Ford motor cars built to the XF range, so basicly all the X-Series...and then all the Cortinas...Ecsorts...Capris...Mustangs...ect..ect. ..
Also those guys that have already set up a club...please PM me for some extra tips on getting things rolling, ive been talking to the opposition...( the local Holden car club ) and they have been very helpfull with ideas and tips to kickstart it all. But id rather get it from the guys in here. Thanks for your time.

Hey thunderroo, have you by any chance noticed the X-Series Club on these forums? It's pretty much exactly what you just described.....

Im from Macksville,but it sounds like a good idea. The closest thing we get up here to a club is the annual GT run to Valla, but thats only once a year.

Yep...exactly...but there is nothing of the sort up here....Kempsy...Port macquaire..Taree...and even Coffs Harbour...And then inland....
And as rayner22 pointed out that there is only a once a year run ( i will be going on that run next year : ) Hopefully there will be at least a run evey month.

The goal at the moment is numbers and kickstarting a "social" club ...which will be probably getting 2 or 3 succesfull cruise days out, and then if the numbers are consistant and good and everybody then wants to continue, then we will be registering the club, and then...yes there will be added benifits as club rego and invites to car shows, and also events to raise money for charitys ect ect... The local Ford dealership ( Andrew Miedecke Ford ) is 110 % behind the idea and is offering freebies...discounts to members..and merchandice, i also talked to Andrew Miedecke today and he is chasing up some medium size marque tents with the dealeship name on them, so when we take them on our BBQ runs / shows, we can set them up as cover / shade for the group. Andrew Miedecke Ford today is faxing all there customers announcing that there is a Ford car club being formed on the mid north coast and giving out my home phone number and email address. The ball is rolling........

And the thing with the clubs that are near here (round 200k's away!!), they are only for one type of Ford, and its not as if there are that many of the same car runnin around the area.
Wouldn't it get right up the nostrils of all the holden boys...
