Hello to all
I would like to introduce myself, my name is Daniel Shigroff and I will be joining the OFCC-SA (ORSM FORD CRUISERS CLUB SA CHAPTER) I have spoken to Pete and will be speaking to Chris later about trying to get this club off the ground in S.A. I know the club has been started but, now needs to be taken to the next step where the club is registered. I will be considering an acting president position at the moment should there be no objections by others and once I have officially joined. I don’t wish to step on any ones toes so regards to any person /s who have indicated their intentions for any of the club positions, the slate will be wiped clean and any interested persons may re apply for the positions available or simply register as a proposed member. PLEASE NOTE ALL POSITIONS WILL BE IN AN ACTING POSITION UNTIL A GENERAL MEETING AND NOMINATIONS ARE TAKEN FOR THE POSITIONS WHERE THE PERSON WOULD THEN BECOME THE ELECTED BOARD MEMBER. For this club to really get going we need to get numbers so I would like interested people to post, their interst in this thread as to a position they would like in the club or simply if they would like to become a member, I will update the list as we go so we can keep track. If you have questions please ask or feel free to pm DOC or myself and DOC or I will get back to you A.S.A.P. We really need to get the members, so as to get a committee together. Here is what’s needed, The Committee is to consist of: (a) The Office-Bearers of the Club (b) A minimum of 3 General Committee members The Office Bearers shall also be known as the Executive CommitteeThe Office-Bearers of the Club are to be: Executive Committee (a) President (b) Vice-President (c) Treasurer (d) Secretary Committee 1. Events Coordinator + Sub Committee 2. Show N Shine Coordinator + Sub Committee 3. Track N Drag Coordinator + Sub Committee 4. IT / Communications Coordinator + Sub Committee 5. Sponsorship / Marketing Coordinator + Sub Committee If you know of any people, friends or family that have a well-presented ( FALCON BASED) ford (EA to BF) that have no knowledge of the club or the Internet get them to join! We need the numbers. The OFCC-SA will strive to be a family orientated and friendly environment, With meet and greet for new members so nobody is a stranger, well organized cruises and events, with plenty of family day’s as well as the boys will be boys days ( GIRLS INCLUDED ) (track days, drags, show and shine etc) and as DOC suggested charity events or working bee’s. Once the committee is established we will work out an events calendar. I have a feeling that this club could be really great and all we need is you! OH! And your FORD!!! :voldar02: WE ALSO WELCOME COUNTRY BASED MEMBERS FROM THE NORTH / SOUTH OF THE CITY AND WILL WHERE WE CAN CRUISE MEET WITH YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ALSO NOTE IF YOUR FORD DOES NOT FIT THE FALCON BASED E SERIES ONWARDS (X-SERIES etc) YOU ARE ELIGABLE TO BECOME AN AFFILIATE MEMBER. Cheers Daniel Shigroff (theboss290) :Up_to_som |

Great Stuff Daniel, to add to the list i have added below the list as it stands. ( Blank for now ) but please add your name and update to provide a clear picture moving forward.
I would also like to add that we ( here in SA ) plan to live up to our sister clubs /s by providing many trophies to our show cases through our events, meets / plan to blow away a few vics at the drags ( they cant have all the glory ) and in general maintian / exceed the already high standards set by Chris and the ORSM team in Vic. So if you have PM'd or shown interest in the past or have been thinking about it, now is the time to put your hand up. If there are more than 1 nomination for a position then a vote by all proposed members will determine the successful candidate. ( so feel free to nominate even if there is some one in the role ) cheers Pete Executive Committee (a) President ( Daniel ) (b) Vice-President ( Vacant ) (c) Treasurer ( Vacant ) (d) Secretary ( Vacant ) Committee 1.

Why don't you take the vice president spot doc
You would make a great v/p Will there be once monthly meetings conducted and if so where? Depending on how well you promote/market/advertise the club, you should end up with the most numbers of any SA falcon club XR6 XR8 club #'s are low, Tickford/FPV is down from over 100 cars to 55, FPV/XR has lost many due to members moving interstate and for unknown reasons and probably has same amount or less than tickford/fpv Falcon car club is 86 but was 170 odd Don't know GT club numbers So many falcon's out there but it seems either people are p***ed off with clubs, can't afford to join and participate with busy careers, fuel cost and or family life With so many falcon clubs it must be confusing and frustrating for potential members Accepting any kind of falcon (EA to BF and others via the affilliate member) whether being a genuine tickford or FPV, a standard GLI, Forte or fairmont and highly modified forte's etc is an advantage as there are many people with modified models who cannot join the tickford, gt and fpv clubs Good luck with it, hope it succeeds and that the funds you get from membership etc will be invested into the club which benefits the members and therefore does not simply fill someone's pocket

as for getting members from other clubs it is not our attention to even try to attract people from these area's, i know people / am involved with these guys and they do a great job , and believe there are plenty of others out there that we can attract, i would also like to see that where we can join in with other clubs from time to time for events. [IMG]Falcon car club is 86 but was 170 odd Don't know GT club numbers So many falcon's out there but it seems either people are p***ed off with clubs, can't afford to join and participate with busy careers, fuel cost and or family life With so many falcon clubs it must be confusing and frustrating for potential members [/IMG] Supply and demand has been around for years and those in general ( any business / club etc ) that do not adapt to subtle changes quickly enough usually fall by the way side, its just part of the game.

Well thanks for the comments SVR73 haven’t got a meeting place just of yet , see where it go's, as for peoples busy lives this is true I think this is one of the biggest hurdles we as a club or any club is going to have a problem with and as for the membership money that will go into running the club, club events, family and charity days. Definitely not in the pocket that is not what the club is about as Doc and I spoke of wanting some thing different, a club that is in the words of DOC: FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE.

I read that, although i wasnt worried about the model, more the fact that it is stock and in a way, boring...
Also, i wouldn't be able to make it to cruises, thanks all the same however...

Anyone want to explain why X series cars only get affiliate non voting membership?
Some of the forum members here in SA are building/or have built some very high quality X series and other non falcon ford cars. Seems to me the best way to get a car club off the ground is to have an inclusive policy to encourage new members, not an exclusive policy that makes x series/fairlane/other members a bunch of second class citizens in a club they are contributing to.

Why make the people who drive Fords which are out of the exclusive range affiliate members (ie, lesser in some regard)? Why not let people become members in full or not at all. I think that there are enough exclusive clubs in Adelaide (as others have said) which are hard enough to get into without creating another one. I didnt join one of them for the same reason. I love going on cruises with the e-series guys as they welcome anyone along and there is not even an issue of membership at all - I have always been welcomed by those guys, and so has Eamon since he moved over here and many other non-e-series people. If some of them cannot join a club in full membership and cruise with me, then I wont be joining without them. I dont care what kind of Ford someone drives. As long as it is a Ford and is in reasonable condition, then I love to cruise with them. Its just a personal policy of mine. Jac

The criterea for joining this club is From EA to current Falcon based models ie:gli,ghia,Ltd,fairlane,Xt,forte you surely get the jist of it..... Full membership consists off $65 which gets you one full year of membership,and a club shirt also full discounts from the sponsors of the club. The bottom line is if you don't want to join don't.... Also this club will not tollorate anybody making second class citizens out of the Members no matter what they drive.......this is not what the club is based on.... From the feedback l got when l was over there, was that there were to many ford clubs in Adelaide but they have no direction for the future.....Well maybe it's time to start a club from afresh so you guys can finally have a club you want.....and to be honest a club is only what you guys put into it,,,with all this negativity nowonder there are so many clubs over there...... Please dont take this the wrong way but that's how your attitude sounds way over here in Vic......it was so positive 6 months ago...... Last edited by X ORSMXR; 26-12-2005 at 05:24 PM. |

Well well this is interesting!
I would like to start by saying hello to every one and I hope you all had a very merry Xmas. I know what you are saying but!! We are not changing the rules of the club and I think people need to get their facts straight before posting! ORSM –SA has the same criteria for joining this club as the parent club in VIC, From EA to current Falcon based models. People who have non falcon based FORD’s or falcons that don’t fit within this criteria can join as an affiliate member. Affiliate members are not second-class citizens the only difference is that they cannot be part of the committee they still have the right to vote! And be part of all the events, family fun days and charity events. This club will be just that a real club and not just a www.com, we will have a committee and a structured events calendar and decisions will be voted upon by all members affiliates included. So there you have it, if you wish to join please do so if not don’t the decision is yours. Cheers Daniel (theboss290) OFCC-SA PRESIDENT |
