Convention 2006 Reflections........read your Hat

Garry did a very good job as the face of the "convection" but the whinger comment did sour it for a lot of people. Keep it positive, no matter what.
More information at the meet and greet briefing, we really did not know when and where we we were meant to be until the night before or when we read the board. Maybe the board should have been in the hotel lobby which everyone could have checked on the way past instead of having to go to the mezzanine.
Possibly a mailout the week before confirming all the details would have settled a lot of people as well.
I did not mind having the meals in the same room but I had to look at the notice board to find out when. Food was good overall. Maybe a theme to differentiate the nights more.
As a sponsor of the Convention, I know of some of the difficulties the committee had coming up to the last weeks. Unfortunately there had to be some changes and these need to be communicated to the participants, to make them feel they are part of the event and not just sheep to herded around to each event. This Forum is good but it is not the only place to post updates. There are some Corvette owners who still do not have a computer. If I had not joined before the Convention I wouldn't have known about the changes to driving events.

Oh, and the forum get together was organised too late. I was travelling from Wednesday and did not have internet access until I got home. Didn't find out about Krispy Kremes until late Monday night. I would have liked to catch up with Brutus (amongst others)who I know from another forum and checked out his car. It's good to be able to put a face to a name.

Oh, and the venue needs to be chosen based on being able to drink in the car park. I felt a lot of the commeraderie was lost during the washing of the cars without a social lubricant.

iN ANSWER TO A FEW COMMENTS . NO COFFEE MACHINES OR FOOD STALLS WERE ALLOWED AT OUR SHOW AND SHINE BY THE CLUB.
I'M SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE SAME ROOM FOR THE THREE NIGHTS. IT WAS PUT ON LIKE THIS SO THIS SO THAT IT WOULD ALL RUN SMOOTHLY WITH NO PROBLEMS. WE DID NOT WANT WHAT HAPPENED IN MELBOURNE WITH 1 BBQ COOKING FOR 200 PLUS PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE HEADING OFF INTO TOWN JUST TO GET A FEED, AND ALSO THE SICKNESS FROM THE FISH ON THE SATURDAY EVENING.
I ALSO HOPE THAT IT WASN'T A PROBLEM FOR THE HOLIDAY INN ORGANISING A DIFFERENT ROOM EACH NIGHT FOR YOU .
THE WHITE BOARD HAD TO STAY UPSTAIRS THIS WAS CLUB RULES.
AS TO HAVING TO LEAVE YOUR CAR TO PURCHASE FOOD OR DRINKS . AND YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU JUST ASK YOUR FELLOW MEMBER NEXT TO YOU TO WATCH YOUR CAR FOR SHORT TIME.
IF YOU COULD NOT GET IMFORMATION ENOUGH FROM THE BOARD AS TO WHAT WAS ON THE NEXT DAY, AS OF ANY OTHER CONVENTION ,THAT IS WHAT THE "CONVENTION COMMITTEE" IS FOR.
AS FOR HAVING A DRINK WHILST WASHING YOUR CARS WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE, IT IS NO DRINKING IN THAT AREA BUT YOU COULD HAVE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE "WE JUST CAN"T HAVE EVERY THING "
AS FOR THE "CONVECTION" WORD ON THE REAR OF THE CAPS IT WAS A MISPRINT AT TIME OF EMBROIDERY AND WAS NOT PICKED UP UNTIL THE WEEK OF THE CONVENTION ,AND AS THEY WERE ENBROIDED OVERSEAS IF THEY WERE SENT BACK TO BE CHANGED WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THEM BACK IN TIME. NO FAULT OF THE COMMITTEE. SO GIVE UP ON IT THANKS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR QUERIES PLEASE RING ME ON 0418252512 ALAN DURES ,
BUT YOU MUST RING BEFORE THE NEXT GENERAL MEETING TUESDAY MAY 2ND.
