TUESDAY ~ 14th MAY 2013
Hey folks.
Meet time again! After a three
car turnout for the May Dunedin
meet on Sunday the 5th in heavy
rain, we're going to have another
crack at it on Sunday 26th May,
1pm. So spread the word and lets
get a big turnout. A cruise to Lawrence
has been suggested (about an hour
away?), and have been thinking of
cruising to Balclutha but not really
sure if there is anything to do
there! Clarks Junction is another
option. It'll be decided on before
the day so keep an eye on the forum/facebook
page.
Hopefully we'll have a Christchurch
meet organised soon, this post will
be updated with details when the
deal is done.
The SSE
Survey is still active and we'd
really love your opinions, even
if you haven't liked a previous
meet as that could tell us what
we are doing wrong. We can't fix
things unless we know they are broken!
Thanks a lot to all those who have
done it so far, we'll definately
be trying to sort out grasskhanas
etc and more meets in the future.
Some people have suggested we set
up an SSE Twitter account too, it
is under consideration and may be
trialled for a while. :)
Other than the Skyline Encyclopedia
having small updates every now and
then, thats about it for now.
SUNDAY ~ 28th APRIL 2013
Survey time!
If you haven't already found out
about it via Facebook, the forums
or the mass e-mail that forum members
got today, then you will now. We've
created a quick 10 question survey
for anyone who has heard of us to
complete, so that we can find out
what we are doing wrong and right,
what we need to do more of and other
such things.
It'd be great if you could take
5-10 mins (if that) to fill it out
so we can see what we need to improve
on, or keep doing etc etc.

here to take the survey
So far most of the responders say
that they'd like more meet up &
cruise meets, would like to see
us at track days more (perhaps with
other clubs), they say the forums
should be more active and there
are those who are for and those
who are slightly unsure about optional
paid membership.
Theres also a lot of people saying
we should spread the word more.
This is something we (and every
other club in the world) will need
help with, it even as simple as
walking up to someone or leaving
a note on their car with the website
address. A number of Dunedin/Otago
members were 'recruited' by approaching
them in carparks, petrol stations
and so on! We've even taken to TradeMe
auctions to tell people about the
club, and sometimes they've decided
not to sell and come join us.
Money is very tight in the club
(currently only have about $100)
so have to rely on free advertising/word
of mouth instead, sometimes it can
be more effective than paying to
advertise!
Full results of the survey will
be published once we reach 100 responses
(or sooner if it teeters off) and
hopefully from then we can start
about seeing what we can do to improve
things.
We're in this for the long haul,
so hope you'll join the conoy with
us!

A
QUICK (?) INTRODUCTION... |
 |
| |
SSE was formed in
late July 2004 and we mainly cover the South Island
of New Zealand, but welcome anyone from around the world
(or beyond?!).
There are numerous simple ways to join us: 'Like' our
Facebook page (link in top right hand corner of page),
register in the forums, or simply ask to be added to
our e-mail or text list so that we can inform you of
upcoming meetings and events.
Criteria for joining us? If you own or even just like
any sort of Prince/Nissan Skyline (1957 models to now),
Cefiro, Stagea, Laurel or other Skyline powered car
then that's all you'll need to join us!
In our regions we try to hold regular meets all throughout
the year. Such as park ups & cruises, car shows,
motorsport events, go-kart meets, movie nights, and
so on. Apart from washing other peoples cars to raise
money, there's not much we won't do/try!
Age/gender is no barrier at all, we have female and
male 'members' in their teens and some well over 50
years old.
Age/modification level of your car isn't an issue either,
if you've spent $40k+ modifying your ride, or have a
completely stock standard Skyline etc then we'll still
welcome you with open garages to our club (or open arms
if you've got a particularly rare car!).
We are also the founders/main organiser's of the successful
Dunedin charity car cruise/car show, the Otago
Community Hospice Charity Cruise.
If you like what you hear (which we hope you do - if
not then please contact us to let us know why not, so
we can try to improve!) so far, then take one or more
of the steps mentioned at the top and we hope to see
you soon!
