Positions Vacant within OpelAus

[poita]

Hey All

After some talks with Brady we have decided to adopt some new roles within OpelAus to encourage more cruises and club meetings.

We will be nominating a Cruise Co-Ordinator for each State.
Someone who we feel can take on the role of organising cruises, be it a drive to the movies, a BBQ in the local park, or to attend a major car show.

Now I have not spoken to anyone about this, so if you feel you can't take on the role, please let me know.
We will look at our other possibilities within your state.

None of these people will be from within our current Mods/Admins as I beleive we have enough on our plates to deal with.

The list is not complete nor is it confirmed, suggestions for other states are welcomed
I don't know everyone well enough to compile the full list, as said please air your suggestions.


The current list of names I have come up with are as follows

Cruise Co-Ordinators:

WA - Shay
Vic - Hazrd
QLD - Neeko




ps. yes I have a shit way with words, but meh

[sooty]

for the larger states, prob best to have more than one, lots of work if you're by yourself.
Seem to have the right people so far though

[Shay]

lol saw my name and laughed.

PM whats involved and ill let you know if im up for it.

[hazrd]

meh

we've talked ;) all good down south

[Danilicious]

are you just doing cruise ppl? or thinking about adding show n events person...?

[Shay]

are you just doing cruise ppl? or thinking about adding show n events person...?

think in the future they're meant to be the same person ;)
agree that QLD and vic could/should have more than one.

id nominate dani for 2nd QLD person, if your other forums' commitments arent too much.
and probably ain for 2nd Vic, especially seein as Pauly is already mod

[HappySlapper82]

Would probably be better to have 3 per state, to account for any sick, holidaying, etc state moderators

[Kudrow]

OK.

We will consider a maximum of 2 people per state to fill the role. Not to be discriminative, but they must be over 18.
As previously mentioned, those "chosen ones" will be responsible for anything from a drive to the corner shop, to much larger events which might just possibly happen in the future (e.g. state-wide or interstate)

Also, there might just be the possibility of the Cruize Coordinator or State Coordinator looking after any advertising material (e.g. a banner) that we provide to each state. :p

I should also add, advertising material might include vendor advertising...

[HappySlapper82]

I think this is good :) We might finally have [OFFICIAL] cruises :p I think these people should also have the role of approving unofficial cruises too

[Danilicious]

well i dont mind putting my hand up, as most of u know i love events and such, so yeah i dont mind but comes down to admin/owners

[Kudrow]

This is the idea...amongst others :D

Yup, agree with Shay, so long as everyone has the time and the want to commit.

[Kudrow]

So:

Western Australia - Shay & ?
Victoria - Hazrd & Ain
Queensland* - Neeko & Dani

Other states?
Those who have been "nominated" but feel they are not up to it, let us know.



* the Smart State :p

[poita]

182 or BTM for NSW?

[Brazza]

After some talks with Brady...


nope... this is the first I've heard of any of this... :p

good idea though :D hopefully it works in practice...

[CNBLU]

what is the role of a cruise leader again?

[poita]

Someone who we feel can take on the role of organising cruises, be it a drive to the movies, a BBQ in the local park, or to attend a major car show.


Also creating maps, checking runs, choosing car parks for photo shoots

[chrissn89]

and weres my name :rolleyes: sounds good and i can always fill in for Nico when needed or help out.

[glider]

I'd put my hand up but we have a few people who probably have a bit more time than I to organise stuff these days...

my vote is for Neeko/Danni as they seem to have their shit together... and as chris has said he can help neeko where needed

[ChrisMaz]

lol saw my name and laughed.

PM whats involved and ill let you know if im up for it.

You're practically already doing it for the Mega Cruise :p

[Shay]

You're practically already doing it for the Mega Cruise :p

yeah but its more than just that...
sorted it out now, im up for it Pete and Brady.

[PaulyJ]

There's actually a lot that will need to go into being a Cruise Leader.
Pete, PM'ing you soon.

[Neeko]

I'm in :)
apparently i have my shit together. Which is a good thing when ur sitting on the toilet.


Things you will find in my resume:


Love going on cruises
Always available
Love taking leadership
I have a 1.4l N/A car (cruise will be at Corsa Pace) :lol:
Good at organising
high self esteem


not sure how the last one helps

[Calibrated]

i would have put my hand up, but a) i dont get out as much as i used to due mostly to cricket, and b) i've already been voted in as the events co-ordinator for eurocruisers

[glider]

curious as to what this means if someone else wants to organise stuff tho? do they have to go thru the cruise organisers to get make something happen?

[oneightoo]

182 or BTM for NSW?

when we ran the old NSW site, dave aka Maloo did a great job for NSW..

i reckon he's the man for NSW, with BTM as the number 2..

im pretty hopeless with organising stuff, with footy on weekends taking up most of my time..

Wheres Tuzinski? lol

[oneightoo]

curious as to what this means if someone else wants to organise stuff tho? do they have to go thru the cruise organisers to get make something happen?

well i would think anyone can arrange one, but the events guy/gal would be the one who'd make it all "official" with the site.. you dont wanna have to many chiefs and not enough indians..

[Calibrated]

i assume it would make the difference between a social cruise and an official state cruise.

[HappySlapper82]

curious as to what this means if someone else wants to organise stuff tho? do they have to go thru the cruise organisers to get make something happen?

I'm assuming that it would be the same as other clubs where [UNOFFICIAL] cruises would need approval from state reps. But thats a good thing

[Kudrow]

We're not stopping you from organising your own social cruises.

The role of the Cruise Coordinator will be to organise official cruises, representing OA. Advertising etc... are involved with this. Something of this scale may happen every 3-6 months or every quarter.

The CC would organise the dates, trips, map, photos etc...

[Danilicious]

so when will this all be starting and names listed to whom have been given the task?

[Kudrow]

Soon :p

[Danilicious]

lol ok coolies, just thought i would ask

this sounds awesome. i would love set dates for our meets, as im pretty isolated from everyone else, id be able to keep certain weekends free etc.
also this way meets would be set in stone. im getting xxxcited!

id put my hand up for nsw too, but im too far from 99% of the members, so itd be no use.

pete and kudrow, ive just thought of what i think is a great idea, albeit off topic sort of.
nsw-qld meets.
vic-nsw meets.
sa-vic meets.
just to get members mingling a bit more.
perhaps yearly?
or perhaps i just get off my arse and sort out the nat meet....and pdfs, and engine thread, and probably a million other things ive started but not finished :mad2:

DieselHead is selling

[gmonkey]

this cruise and event organisers, or section moderators?

[poita]

fine by me.

cruise and event, may also blend it into state moderators.

good thinking 99

[adam_92]

Dobs has sold (dunno if he will get a VXR/SRIT)

sadavidsriturbo is selling/sold?

im still looking at buying another opel. an astra of some sort, undecided between a cd/cdx which would allow extra money to modify, a bertone or srit/vxr.

there is scaifey or ausvectra but they arent on very much iirc and i dont think david has sold yet but hes pretty buzy with work. and i dont think dan is selling until the end of the year.

[gmonkey]

if ur getting an opel mate.. make it a turbo.. trust me..


i always thought auzvectra was an easterner :p

[Shay]

if ur getting an opel mate.. make it a turbo.. trust me..


i always thought auzvectra was an easterner :p

auzvectra is in QLD
ausvectra is in SA.

theres also Imay, long time forum member....

[adam_92]

yes there is. completely forgot about him, theres also the guy with the red race car, but i cant remember his name for the life of me. hes got a arden sri-t and a rexy but he isnt online as much as he used to be and i dont think he does cruises.

[adam_92]

but anyway i think princess peachy would be interested

[Shay]

nadge63 is who you are thinking off.

[poita]

not posting on the forum and not being an active member isnt a strong argument for putting someone into a position on responsibility

just my 2c

[gmonkey]

also why i think we should maybe clean up some of the moderators and maybe appoint some new ones??

[adam_92]

nadge63 is who you are thinking off.

yeah thats him. i knew it began with a n but that was all i could remmeber lol

@ pete, i completely agree what would be the point in appointing someone to a role on the forum when they arent active and dont post

[gmonkey]

ur probs the best bet Dobs ur most active SA member as far as i can see :p why not volunteer ;)

[adam_92]

id love to volunteer but would like to know whats actually involved in it before i commit and let evryone down.

[gmonkey]

[adam_92]

whoops i missed that somehow haha... well as the most active SA member i guess il volunteer myself... if other people are happy with it.

[Neeko]

QLD seems to be correct

edit

I'm making an assumption, *awaits neeko's response*:thumbs:

[auzvectra]

:thumbs:

i take that as a yes :p.

[auzvectra]

oh yeah, and being 1 of the oldest veteran's of OA Qld, i'm happy to help out with the cruises and organising when needed aswell :).

[btm]

i'm definitely happy to help represent nsw

[poita]

Thanks guys :)

[[OPCSRi]]

So who is in on Team Vic????

[Nurb608]

Adz and Ain.

[sooty]

Adz and Ain.

Of course this doesn't mean we're the only ones who can organise anything lol, everyone is more than welcome to help and suggest stuff. If you've got an idea but don't have the time to do the research etc too just let us know :)

[[OPCSRi]]

Of course this doesn't mean we're the only ones who can organise anything lol, everyone is more than welcome to help and suggest stuff. If you've got an idea but don't have the time to do the research etc too just let us know :)That's what I like to here. I have the problem on the Ute site that i'm moderator on where the members just want the moderators to do everything but i always tell them if you want to do something speak up. Then also when the events is organised for them they don't show up which is a real shame.

I was thinking of a coffee meet somewhere this week or next week.

[poita]

If you want to organise a cruise go for it mate, the cruise moderators are just set in place as active members who organise such things on a regular basis

And are also willing to help out when others organise cruises/meets/dyno days/skidpan days etc etc etc

[[OPCSRi]]

I never hold back Poita. I like to get to gether with everyone from time to time. That's what every forum is about meet, greet, have fun and share your experiences.

[poita]

Three members have hed there accounts modified to reflect these changes.

I will be adjusting settings as need be over the next couple of days in regards to permissions, access details and such.

So please bear with me while I do this.

Also anyone who's account has been changed if there is any issues please pm me


Cheers

i dont see why not

[poita]

Can we please not fill this thread with shit like the rest of the forum

[poita]

Mods can you please check to make sure your account is working.

You should have mod abilities in your respective states, but nowhere else.

This is NOT permanent, if required the positions will be reviewed and status removed if needed.

I doubt this will happen though, I'm pretty sure we have chosen the right crew to help

[Shay]

account is working, everything looks right mate.

[hazrd]

same here mate :thumbs:
