Web Site, New information! Options

[Dr Evil]

I dunno what to add. Event cost? What are we offering? Have we solidified that yet? Legal? I would put a disclaimer in that everyone is operating under their own recognizance. No dumbass driving, no drinking and driving, etc.

[VaccaRabite]

Do we have our fixed costs formalized yet? X number of spaces at Y cost, website design fees, etc?

What about variable costs like food and beer, shirt costs, are we paying for spaces in the concourse?

Once we have our fixed and variable costs, we can do a break even analysis at different cost points and see where we need to set cost:person ratio. I have not been paying much attention lately, are we still targeting 40 cars and 80 people?

If we can confirm the specific costs I'll do the analisys and provide you guys with some costing structures. But, I don't have the time right now to surf this forum to ferret out the info. I need:

Fixed:
Event space cost (how many spaces * cost per space)
Tentage (if any)
Website costs (if any)
Banner cost (if any)
Prizes (our prizes, not Hersheys)
Room rental (bowling alley or bar, not hotel rooms)

Variable
Food per person (if we cover that)
beer per person (if we cover that)
1/2 Concourse costs per person (assume that 1 car will hold 2 people)
Give-away shirts per person
AX fees per person (if we cover that)

40-50 per spot, we should consider 4 adjacent spots.

Tentage (if any) ? Unknown

I had one of our members contact me about this...its in one of the threads on one of the boards...I will dig it up. He lives nearby and offered a few easy up tents for us to use...that will be the best...he has a truck and trailer to deliver them.

Website costs (if any) I took care of it. Done $0.00

I am still awaiting response from Forrest so I can get him all straight on what the site should say and put together some marketing type wording etc.

Banner cost (if any) Unknown

I would say that if Ray can do this cheap, we should do a MEI logo banner that will fit on one easyup tent...so figure 6 foot by 1.5 feet.

Prizes (our prizes, not Hersheys) Ray is working on some free stuff

Ray, I think, is doing this.

Room rental (bowling alley or bar, not hotel rooms) Dr. Evil's checking on that

Noth sure if this is in another thread already.

Variable
Food per person (if we cover that) This may be one of a very few things that would be part of the event cost.

No, we cannot do any food anything within the event. Its very strict.
We can bring our own personal sandwich type stuff etc, but we cant go out for pizza and bring in a load of pizza...Hershey park has the concessions monopoly within the event...this is covered on the PCA site for the event....in detail.

beer per person (if we cover that) I say open bar everyone buys their own.

we are not a club, org, or anything more than a group of hobbiest that agreed to meet at the same time, same place.
The minute we start to think otherwise or behave in a fashion that would be considered a group or and org, we get into liability.

We can make a beer run if everyone chips in, we can behave like it a party and BYOB...we cannot provide any alchohol..

1/2 Concourse costs per person (assume that 1 car will hold 2 people)

Price of entry to the event is up to each person attending.
Details are on the PCA site, and as soon as Forrest emails me, I will put them on the MEI site also.
Again, we are just a group of guys.
The event is PCA, and they are insured...
We dont charge.

Give-away shirts per person Ray is working on a method to have attendees order and pay for their own event shirt. The shirt will be drop shipped.

Cool

AX fees per person (if we cover that) attendees pay their own way.

Attendie is responsible for this. They must sign a waiver with the local PCA to attend the event...and pay them to attend.
I have asked, any porsche can run, any motor, and setup...so all of us will run.
We will be classes based upon standard PCA classing.
We will get a copy of the results so that we can award our own group afterwards if we want...and we can class people anyway we want.

I just received an email from Forrest. He now has a sponsor link on the site. I sent him the links Zach posted for event photos.

Just a couple more issues to resolve and we will have a completed signup sheet.

We still need to know what meals will cost and if there is a cost for the banquet room.

[rick 918-S]

Forrest stopped over today. We talked about the web site. He told me he could add a general contact email address like mid engine invasion dot com or something and give us a password to check it.

Rich, he's waiting for disclaimer verbage

[rmital]

all sponsor/supporter banners are "now" pointing to the corrrect websites....so I forwarded the link to each supporter. Now I could pressure them for more stuff.

OK, I sent my self a test email through the site. Lets see if it works.

Also, my logo is not in the sponsors section. You dont want my sponsorship? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Other than that, it looks nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

[Dr Evil]

Yup, it works (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Either send Forrest an email with your logo or post it here or something. Ray was getting sponsors stuff to Forrest.

[Dr Evil]

No worries, just messing with ya. My logo is on the shirt, which is plenty fine since I dont have a web site and cant handle the volume advertising would bring (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
