Jazzy_J Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Perhaps we should follow the Saab way and register as one club.... Volvo's of Carlisle. Maybe we can get a bigger tent that way ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Maybe we should work on getting a little organized for this Perhaps we should follow the Saab way and register as one club.... Volvo's of Carlisle. Maybe we can get a bigger tent that way IF someone can step up to the plate and organized it could be great! We'd need to do the catered food (breakfast/lunch/dinner), drinks (getting kegs/ice so folks aren't shelling out his own $$)and not just alcohol water! seating/tables, music/entertainment, venders/sponsors, raffles/givaways and the huge tent to come close to Saab guys shindig, their site was VERY impressive this year . On par with a lot of the BMWCCA events I've been to. After this years issue with the tent/banners, thanks again Mike for fixing that. I think we've gotta long way to go to get THAT organized. I think Volvospeed, Swedespeed, Turbobricks and VCOA really need to come together to make this a reality (if they can). Just my .02¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdimag Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 it's my opinion that if we can just get food, drinks, and maybe a little entertainment under that tent, people would stay (at least for a little bit longer). besides I feel like the camp area should be reserved for quiet activities like sleeping, and everyone was there getting loud and going in and out with their cars. I can handle the drinks... and include some non-alcoholic drinks like soda or root beer (water would be hard to dispense unless it was the carbonated variety). Are we allowed to have generators?

Burn-E Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 It sounded to me like Mike thought it was worth discussing with the right people at VCOA to see if something could be done. This isn't a VCOA meet so they might be willing to collaborate on some efforts but I would expect they will want to keep separate for their raffles and all that.

Jeph430 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 So, just to be clear, it's VCOA's snobbish attitude which is preventing us from doing this, right? IIRC, yes. Hence the "Not @ VCOA" meet and stickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvo_go_go Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 in for next year....but next year we wont use the Saab guys grill My grill was roaring all weekend...theirs was just easier when I was lazy. Maybe we should work on getting a little organized for this Hello?!?! I've been pushing to help all last year! Perhaps we should follow the Saab way and register as one club.... Volvo's of Carlisle. Maybe we can get a bigger tent that way BIGGER tent? I'm just happy we had a damn tent. It would of been a fucking disaster other wise. IF someone can step up to the plate and organized it could be great! We'd need to do the catered food (breakfast/lunch/dinner), drinks (getting kegs/ice so folks aren't shelling out his own $$)and not just alcohol water! seating/tables, music/entertainment, venders/sponsors, raffles/givaways and the huge tent to come close to Saab guys shindig, their site was VERY impressive this year .

I think Volvospeed, Swedespeed, Turbobricks and VCOA really need to come together to make this a reality (if they can). Just my .02¢ I'm the unofficial Vs caterer. Rent me a REAL grill, and like...$400 for food and I can easily feed 150+ people.Shit, this weekend I grilled: 164 burgers, 143 hot dogs, 60lbs of chicken, 10lbs of sausage, 3 dozen eggs, and 2lbs of porkroll. What did I come with? 20 burgers, 20 hot dogs, and my fine self. Everyone pitched in what they had and we fed the masses up at their campsite. I even fed the Saab kids for using their grill time to time. We got kegs (Thanks Brick!) and what's wrong with byob? NOTHING! Just provide a spot to put it...much as I bring and empty iced cooler for meat. Raffles? That's on you, but I'd be damn good and selling tickets. "Two tickets? Really? for an extra $5 you get a legs length...and get to rip the tickets yourself....with your teeth." I can prob get some of my girls in bikinis to pose with cars too. I brought mine this year, but no one asked hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
