NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[sailr]

I agree with Mike. Adding cash winnings may just be a point of irritation for some. All clubs that have races charge everybody, including their own members, to race. They generally give out trophies. In my opinion, I'd rather have a really cool looking certificate I could frame and put on my wall. I can design and make the certificates for next to nothing.

I do think we should take the cash winnings out of it. If you want to do that, we could just hold a 50/50 raffle at the race.

Wow!! Just got a minute to catch-up on recent posts and have some definite opinions on the recent subject ( imagine that):

Having a points series. Great

Charging $ 10.00 a head for members and $20.00 for non-members regardless of entries to fund plaques and keep the kitty resusciated. Great

Charging more, then paying out cash prizes is like charging yourself to mow your own yard. Bad: will result in contention among friends, reduce the sharing of information, UNinspire newbes to participate, and be in direct conflict with why the Club was formed. I know of no other Club that races for cash - probably for a reason.

If the Club needs a cash injection, then there is nothing wrong with a special assessment. So far, members have stepped-up every time to overcome various challenges.

Just my dos centavos - after all it is Cinco de Mayo...

It's Friday and time to ask the question. Are we going to be running this Sunday?
It's the 2nd Sunday but also Mother's Day.

Not sure on the price of the shirts. Probably around $15 each for a small quantity. Adding a pocket ups the price a couple bucks. I'm working on cleaning up the logo. It looks great on the computer but when blown up to put on a shirt, the hydro on it looks like crap. I'll try to get a quote in the next couple days.

I'll take 2 in an XL with pocket if we can get enough interest to get a batch done.

flyer

Scott had mentioned a flyer to put out at the local area hobby shops so I have started working on one. This would be a fold down the middle brochure type of thing and here's what I have so far. This would be the outside front and back pages when folded.
I sure could use some ideas on what to do with the insides of it though.

It would be nice to have a pic or screen shot of actual boats racing at ackerman on it. maybe like this:

Thats just what I was going to suggest, maybe some action pics and some boats on stands for the close up wow factors.

I will not be able to attend Sunday.

Here's an updated version of the flyer with both pages. I removed the original from a couple of posts up

It may be good to also have a 1 sided flyer to put on bulletin boards?

[bill34207]

I'll let y'all look it over for a few days and think about it. Let me know if it needs any wording changes, additions, or deletions. I don't have the file with me and won't be able to get back to it before Monday anyways. (It was kinds slow today at work and did that one between phone calls).

For some reason I thought dues were due on June 1. Easy enough to fix when I get back to work.
