What Jorge did not say was - at meetings he gets tied up doing club rego's and basically misses most of the meeting.
Compounded by members not bringing correct paper work - esp a copy of pink slip to go in club file.
Jorge is out and about Sydney metro everyday and is prepared to visit YOU, even by arrangment on weekends.

The Sec is preparing a permanent section for the mag indicating requirements for HR.

The Committee is still debating changes, amendments & refinements to club HR.

At the end of the day this is basically a social club for like minded  individuals with cars as the central theme.

I even heard a VERY ....? I was going to say "silly" but it was more likely missinformed or a missled statement that only Corvettes could get HR.
The club is -"NSW Corvettes UNLIMITED" that word unlimited means exactly that, I originaly had no corvette, some have many, some have other cars as well.
At the moment I believe there is no restriction on the number of plates we can issue overall or to individual members.

But - there's always a but. This is a social club, promoting primarily Corvettes, to that end, we dont want to see the club being used by individuals as a convienient place to get cheap rego, without at least a little payback to the club, by simply attending a meeting or a run or two. The expierences of members being passed onto others in the club, is after all, what the club is about, comraderie, help, call it what you will.

I know some of you will hate me for saying this, but a club is like a union, its democratic, of the members, by the members, FOR the members.

This "FORUM" is one of our greatest assetts, it allows questions, info, tech data and even my bullsh#t to be disseminated far and wide, since our members live far and wide, length and breadth of NSW - this fact compounds HR issues, but I'm sure it may be resolved soon.
Regards.

Currently there is a disconnect. People (members) participate not cars. Your current policy is preventing me using my corvette at a corvette run and forced me to find an alternative. The alternatives stop me participating.
Stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. 

[Vettech]

Sorry Sabre but your last post has totally lost me.

[sabre]

Sorry Sabre but your last post has totally lost me.

Don't know why. I've talked to you and the pres (current and previous) at length over the problem. I've put it in writing and offered to draft the required changes but the offer was rejected.
Put simply, I want to take my full registration Corvette to NSWCC functions not be forced to take an inappropriate vehicle to comply with a poorly thought out rule.
I think I have demonstrated my commitment. I held committee and organiser positions, provide input to the forum and magazine and attend meetings, not my car.
Why do I need to bring a car which I've been asked not to bring to prove I'm committed to the club for a stamp on a form which costs the club $0?

[Vettech]

Yes I remember your offer at the time, the then commitee desided to wait, some commitee if not most have subsequently left those positions.

I suppose I could be synicle here and suggest swapping rego and cars, but I wont.

I'd be pretty annoyed if told not to bring a club HR car to club runs, and as you know I often bring a Mustang to club meets/runs, whilst not on HR plates and I do cop some flack, but never would any one dare to tell me not to attend with that car.

Your past commitment to the club was well recieved and appreciated by most, unfortunately there are always detractors and "other" individuals with personal agenders to push, I'll be honest here and say I was at a loss  when the committee turned over and members like you did not start to re-attend and get re-involved  with running the day to day club matters. I appreciate that your health has been a bit touch and go,  and summised this was the cause behind you not getting re-involved.

As I said when people complained about previous committee, "if you dont like it, then the only way to make change is from within" no good running away or putting the head in the sand.

There has been a lot of discussion on HR rego through out the club for some time now, I would assume it will now need another look.
Any changes will be up to those ready to get involved, time will tell.
Regards.

Perhaps a face to face in the near future would deliver a positive outcome.
Life is to short ,
I would be happy to chair the meeting.

[sabre]

Thanks for the offer Bfit. I'd gladly participate but I think it's gone too far. I've now invested too much time ans money in my alternate solution.

Sorry Vettech but my issues were put to the current committee and the rule behind my problem has not only been ratified, it's been fortified despite assurances my issue would be addressed.

[jimbob]

I believe the current system works okay. I just put my new purchase on classic rego with the club. Went to Jorge’s house with all the necessary paperwork and walked away with everything I needed to get my new car registered for classic rego.

It gives me 60 days a year to drive, plus organised club runs are not included. Given that I only drive the car weekends, the money saved is definitely the reason to do it.

Freeing Jorge up at meetings is something Jorge wants. I can’t see any problem with that.
Cheers

The club is -"NSW Corvettes UNLIMITED" that word unlimited means exactly that

When I asked member #1, the Club's founder, about that he told me it means not limited to any series or year of Corvette.

[Vettech]

Well GTC this should be food for thought.

I always understood it to mean a Car club based around Corvettes.

With no limitation to membership, ie: owning a car or not, having many or even other cars.

But! Maybe this should be clarified, I love pedantic arguements over nothing.

No kidding?

The inference of the unlimited has nothing to do the membership numbers of and or models od corvettes .
It’s a term I’m law referring to
An unlimited company or private unlimited company,  incorporated with or without a share capital (and similar to its limited company counterpart) but where the legal liability of the members or shareholders is not limited: that is, its members or shareholders have a joint, several and non-limited obligation to meet any insufficiency in the assets of the company to enable settlement of any outstanding financial liability in the event of the company's formal liquidation.

Go ask #1.

And, if memory serves, he also mentioned it encompasses modified or unmodified.

[bfit]

The club history gives no explication of the origin of the use of unlimited.
The club was incorporated in 1997 some 17 years after the original formation of the group..
I still refer to the legal explanation of unlimited.
There could and will be many possible explanations for the term unlimited but I can find anthing in writing published info on this web site

... which is why I put the question to him, at a BBQ.

[Vettech]

Hey - what BBQ was this?  and how come Bob and I were not invited? I hope your not starting a clique, clan, clecheue.... what ever.

Hey - what BBQ was this?

One of many held at Doonside over many years.
