Does the fact that i have not gotten any emails yet mean no one is interested??

Maybe it's just no-one wants to hang out with YOU.

ill be your friend chad
but i warn you im expensive and demanding
half hour for $50
ill hold your hand for an extra $50
hmmm... nar i just remembered im busy sorry fully booked
try the rsl

What would we talk about in your social meeting! how it was years back when we used to windsurf?
no one want to be social when there's no wind
Just think you got the wrong timming to start it.
However if during winter there is a gathering somewhere near a spot. I'll be there

I thought u didnt drink chad. U could just post a thing on here say. No wind on the weekend, lets go get pissed!!! like alberto did, I heard his thingo went pretty well, would have gone except was on a pub crawl

now if u wanted to make this work you should have cut straight to the point and said "alchol appreciation society" now it does sound a bit ****y but it is a bit more classy then "lets get pissed" and more to the point then "social club". whats more the beer appreciation club at uni has the largest member base and hence the most funding.

Silver,

Your idea is great!!!!!!!

I support what your doing, and encourage you to keep at it. People's responses to it is about their stuff not your idea.

People like me don't usually go to stuff like that basically coz I work with people, all day, every day, and my chill out is to be as far away from people as possible. (plus I don't want people to see how really boring I am in real life)

You would need to be technically insane to wanna hang around with me anyway, just ask Elmo!

i hate being tied into things too Hardman,,, which is why it is so informal....

Greenroom,

The one good thing about drinking from my experience was that it was easier to get a .............when people were intoxicated, so thank god for alcohol!!!!!!!! I would never have got a..... without it!!!!!!! Please don't deny old desperates their one chance in life for a bit of JOY!!

Silver,

Just an idea to add to yours, Windsurfing has been around for about 30 years now and it has evolved a few cultural norms of it's own, as say cavemen such as homo-erectus did with their pillaging etc. which was quite normal for them, but people these days would call that behaviour piracy as we would now consider such acts as deviant (Had to throw that one in), Back to Topic........

...........windsurfing is very social in the rigging and derigging process, where people hang around and talk about the conditions and the sail they just had. So it would make sense to organise a social event at the rigging area at the end of the sailing day. eg. BBQ,
Alberto's idea was also good as it followed on from another cultural development which is the social aspect of windsurfing shops!! You can talk and drink and look at windsurfing toys, how delicious!!!!!!

The rigging area idea is a possible option as Then people don't have to break their routines and have to commit to something else in their already busy lives.

Just an idea, hope you get some ideas from it.

I think this is a great idear.

You can take then take it a step further. The only way you are going to get this bunch to take something seriously is to offer them some thing of common interest. Why not get Scotty or Ant to run some sort of seminar on wind surfing. Run through some vids, comment on the world cup etc. Get some small door prizes from sponsors. BBQ. It can be run at a shop which may wish to have a few specials on the night. We might all learn some thing.I have seen this done via a similer web site involving fishing & it works.

Getting guys to do clinics is easy. But i need everyone to send me an email at [email protected] first (subject line ADD or similar). then i can get the ball moving a bit more.

Sinces it is free im sure shops will put up their hands and hopefully offer invitations once I have a few 100 people on the list.

We have a glass ceiling with no formalities, no accounts, no politics hopefully, no stress...... Great Hey :)


Regards

Chad Silver

did you go looking for that?

Sorry to say nic but im on Mikes side with this one.
It is easy to organise all sorts of things for free but where WWA goes comes insurance and a whole heap of other crap.
This will be my little project for the summer and see how it goes. It might fail, it might not

If it is such a great idea, why havent i got more emails at [email protected]

Proposed Idea: Pool Comp at Essex st pool hall. Entry: you must buy yourself and one mate a beer plus small donation of $2 or so (for table hire) I will organise cheap/Free table hire and cheap Alcohol!!!!

Who would be keen to come along???
I heard you love to play with Balls n Sticks Mike?? The more balls and sticks in the one place the happier Mike gets....

get someone to do some filming at one of the storms, then organise a pub with a screen to show the footage, plus maybe some cheap beers???? there must be someone around who has a video camera, and there also has to be someone with a broken leg or something that cant sail and is keen to stand around in the rain for a few hours... well the second one might be difficult, but it is possible...
