GM Roundup - Rocklea 25/9/11

[Scruba]

Hi all.

Gauging interest for this event.

I've been in contact with the FX-FJ Holden Club of Qld and have discussed BCCC attending this event as a club.

As the attached flyer states, it is a family event with Food Stalls, Entertainment for the kids and a few other family friendly events.

Options for the club are:

GM Roundup at Rocklea Showgrounds Sunday 25 September 2011.

Please see attached link for more details and thread containing information.

I've been in contact with the FX-FJ Holden Club of Qld and have discussed BCCC attending this event as a club.

As the attached flyer states, it is a family event with Food Stalls, Entertainment for the kids and a few other family friendly events.

Options for the club are:

We can put our Club banner up and park behind it and our cars will be part of the Show/Shine and Judging.

So if everyone could please let us know who is serious about attending ASAP so we can advise numbers and get enough space allocated for the Club display.

Also anyone who wants to enter the judging will have to submit the attached Entry Form - Noting that Pre Entry price is $20 for the car and 2 people (including the driver)or $30 on the day. Children under 14 are free.

This would be a great place to advertise the club and get it's name and what we are about out there.

Just a thought for those choosing to enter the judging, we could make up small signs and laminate them displaying the BCCC logo and "Look but don't touch" to display under your wipers or in the engine bay? Anyone interested in this let me know and I'll work with a few people to get them made up. I have a laminating machine at home.

One thing that Shane of FX-FJ Club asked is that we all arrive in a group to ensure we are allocated enough room for the club display.

Everyone attending will need to complete the entry form and tick which category you wish to be judged in.

Cheers,

Scott

[Carbon]

Good work Scott. Glad to see you getting the hang of things.

I think this would be a great outing for the club. Timing is perfect to keep things on a roll

[fx160]

sorry but i won't make it
the misses is going away for a week and i have to drop her off:cigar:

kev

[vlyeahboy]

That would be awesome

[vlyeahboy]

I will b attending for sure

[keith reed]

Count us in. Not interested in being part of a show and shine. Would be happier parked behind a BCCC banner.

[Scruba]

Great to hear guys.
Be great to have you there with the banner also Keith. :)

[Scruba]

I've added this as a Calander entry so everyone can add there RSVP in there also.

Either way, let us know who is definate to attend the day:

1. With the Club Banner - to ensure we are allocated enough space
2. With their year of manufacture for judging.

Cheers,

Scott

[KJV]

More than likely count us in :P

[Poodroo]

I think I can be counted in for this as well to be part of the club display.

Cheers,

Andrew

[Scruba]

Thanks Andrew and Kris.
That's awesome!

[keith reed]

Be good to see you again Andrew.

[Carbon]

You know I should be there

[VEWARRIOR]

I will be in WA... sorry Scruba....

[DC347]

Sorry will be at Fraser Is with the family and friends for the week.

[Poodroo]

Thanks Andrew and Kris.
That's awesome!
No worries Scott. Have some minor damage I should have fixed by then. Some old fella in a Landcruiser backed into me but agreed to pay for the damage so long as I used his paint and panel shop in Jimboomba. Inconvenient but at least no cost to me.

Be good to see you again Andrew.
It's been a little while Keith and yes it will be great to see you and Bernadette again too.

Andrew

[keith reed]

I think this will be an excellent event to attend. It is not often that we are able to see a collection of old Holdens.

[Scruba]

I will be in WA... sorry Scruba....

Ok then......I'll take your car along.....where are the keys?

[Scruba]

I think this will be an excellent event to attend. It is not often that we are able to see a collection of old Holdens.

Very true Keith. Will be a good day out.

Andrew

If he backed in to u... he is liable regardless where u want it repaired. Point I'm making is if u wanna go somewhere else, u have that choice. Your insured i take it? All u have to do is give his details to your insurance company and they will do the rest. but if ur happy to give it to him to repair then go for it :D

[Scruba]

Ok all. Bit of an update.

I have requested bank details so we can prepay the $20 for entry. We may simply pay this into the BCCC account and do one transfer to FX-FJ Club's account to streamline things.

Ok so if I can please get those that are definates to come along to this event please post up your name in this thread and if we can get completed entry forms emailed to myself at scruba75@hotmail.com I will collate these and process with the FX FJ Holden Club.

They have requested that we have all entries and pre-payment in by 16th September to allow them to send out Windscreen Stickers and Tickets for entry to the event.

If anyone decides after the 16th of Sept to join, not a problem. Complete your entry form and bring it along with you to the day.

Just to confirm:

$20 covers one car, Driver and 1 passenger. Additional passengers will be $5 extra and children under 14 (accompanied by an adult) are free.

This is a great event for the whole family and a fantastic place for us to recruit new members.

Please get posting and I will add your name to the list.

[Josh K]

Sorry guys can't make this one :(

[Poodroo]

Yes I am insured and I am happy for him to pay for it. He is doing so out of his own pocket and not involving his insurer. Parts already arrived in stock and primed ready for painting. Car will be done soon. Yes I'm insured.

[Scruba]

Money has been deposited :)

[574GRD]

I'd be keen on attending, for anyone who was at the last on(which was the first one) it was a pretty good day, heaps of cars and stands.

[Scruba]

Further update. Anyone wanting their car to be judged CAN park with the Club display.

I spoke with the organisers last night and they are allowing us as a Club to park together and still be in for the judging.

There are approx 20 trophies for the Commodore category.

[Carbon]

c'mon guys, please lets get at least 10 cars. I am so hoping to get there. I feel we should continue to build on this great enthusiasm shown in recent weeks

[Scruba]

This is the second show of this kind. It's going to be HUGE for everything under the GM banner so let's get our Club out there to the Commodore owners who are not part of a Club and show them we are active in the Community.

[Scruba]

Are we going to meet up at a central location and travel in convoy to Rocklea?

Hell yes mate.

Open to suggestions as to a meeting point.

Everyone attending, please throw your suggestions up as to a meeting point!

[keith reed]

Paid ours today. Only allowed to use numbers, ours is 745. Meeting place, Yamanto.

[Carbon]

How about maccas on granard road. Short little trip to the show ground from there

[Valik]

All paid up & ready to go. maccas on granard road is good for me as it's on the way. What time are we meeting & arriving at the event? Opens at 6am so I guess it will be a very early start?

[Poodroo]

I was actually thinking about in the car park where they have the Friday night meets at Munchies? Easy to find and everybody knows where it is. (Well I assume so. )

[Carbon]

5:30 at Maccas is perfect. Its like 5 mins from there to the showground

Plus it means I can get a coffee

[keith reed]

Also, I do know people are deciding not to do it because of the cruise the day before. We need to be really careful of a)not organising things day after day but b) also week after week. Some people dont want to do week in week out things. I suggest we put our efforts into events but space them more evenly out.

[Mark]

Trying to sort some things out guys, so hopefully I'll be there, got a couple of things happening atm but I should know tonight..
ps Adam, got a couple of things to throw into the goods kitty..

[keith reed]

Saturday cruises are out so any Sunday is good for us. I agree that perhaps we can have to much of a good thing. Unlike others our only dependents are two dogs.

Definately the plan moving forward. I guess I got a little TOO enthusiastic.

[KJV]

Still ironing out are plans.... Got a good mates, sons birthday on that day... Kinda hoping to come to this then maybe leave around lunch... would that be ok?

[Carbon]

Hey Kris not an issue mate.

[KJV]

Awesome :) will fill out the form and deposit some coin this Arvo after work :)

[Carbon]

Guys, I spoke to Scott this morning and wanted to ask something.

It appears we are not getting good numbers for the roundup because people are doing the cruise the day before.

What if we postponed the cruise and still did the Prostate stuff but simply did it at the roundup. There may be a better chance to raise more money as well.

[Scruba]

C'mon people get your forms sent to me - scruba75@hotmail.com and put coin into the Club account.

We want to submit forms tomorrow for pre-entry and payment.

Cheers,

Scott

[Mark]

Ok guys, I'm in..will get form sent in shortly and payment made asap..

[Scruba]

Thanks all for making this a great turnout for BCCC.

Scott

[ziggycv8z]

Paid last night and emailed the form this morning.

[Scruba]

[ROCKU]

mossdeffs going. ill be coming out with michael (574GRD)

[Carbon]

Will b great to see you mate but he hasn't submitted the entry form and fee. Please ask him to do so. Want to see you both there.

[ROCKU]

he was trying to find a scanner the last time i heard but then he said something about doing it at the gate so im not sure whats happening im sure he'll be in touch

[Carbon]

Oh I think I told him to deposit the cash into the account and send me an email with all the details that form requires.

[ROCKU]

went out to the last one was pretty good, cant wait for this one

[Carbon]

I had a bit more of a positive day today so am looking more positive for this. Even if for only a few hours.

Really looking forward to getting out and I have a good feeling about this event for BCCC and its future.

Scott has done a great job in getting the event organized and I have a couple of little surprises as well.

So, come on guys. We have been given an extension to pay for this so let's get more of you involved.

[Poodroo]

I know what it takes to organize something for the club from experience and I know that Scott has put his all into this so the very least that we can do is get in behind him and show some support in return by giving up one day to support the club. What's the worse that could happen after all? We have a good day showing off our cars and enjoy some friendship? Thanks Scott for your efforts.

Glad to hear it Andrew.

[Mad VP]

We will be coming but we will coming later as spectators.

[Scruba]

Be happy to see you there. Swing by the BCCC display and say g'day.

[Scruba]

If I've missed anyone's payment or form please let me know immediately as I will be handing these in tomorrow night. Last chance for pre-entry price people.

Thank you to all who have sent in forms and paid.

[Mad VP]

Be happy to see you there. Swing by the BCCC display and say g'day.

We shall do.:)

[Carbon]

Guys, this is going to sound really strange... But was wondering if anybody going on Sunday had one of those colapsable banana lounges I could borrow. It's better for me to lie than to sit upright in a chair. This might be the perfect answer.

[Scruba]

I can bring some bananas that you could possibly make a lounge out of?

JK mate. No can help.

[Scruba]

I have the entry tickets and windscreen stickers for those who have pre-paid.

I will have these with me tomorrow for the Prostate Cruise for those attending and for those not attending the cruise i'll see you at the premeet on Sunday.

Adam, will drop you your's this arvo/tonight.

[Poodroo]

Just confirmation that the meet point is still Maccas at Rocklea at 5:30am?

[Scruba]

Just confirmation that the meet point is still Maccas at Rocklea at 5:30am?

Sure is mate

[Poodroo]

Sure is mate

Good stuff. Have spent most of the day cleaning the car inside and out so I will meet up with you all in the morning.

[keith reed]

After getting up at 3.50 am every other day it will be nice to have a sleep in.

[Scruba]

Gave mine a quick bath. It's amazing what a set of black rims will do to reduce the time it takes to clean them!

Ah Keith. I've had a couple of 1am rises of late. Looking forward to tomorrow though. An Ice Break to start the heart, some 98 octane to get the SS going and we'll be on our way all packed up ready for a great day.

[VP Pursuit]

About to give mine a tub, already have a full tank of 98 with a bottle of octain booster, 2 monsters and a V, a ready to go travel mug for me to leave at 4:30 tomorrow :p

[keith reed]

Just had a look at the weather map. Rain should have cleared by the time we get there.

[Scruba]

Hope so. I woke to hear a bit :( chamWOW will have to be packed.

Don't have one so will be the Meguairs Chamois :)

How u travellin mate?

[keith reed]

We had a good day, lots of nice cars to look at. BCCC were well represented with 13 cars. Did not realise that there were that many old Holdens around, From pristine models to race cars.

[Scruba]

Congrats to Valik, Mark, Nick and Carbon for winning trophies. BCCC represent!

Adam has trophies guys and we'll get them to you asap!

Congrats again guys :)

Valik - 2nd unrestored
Mark - 1st unrestored

Carbon - 2nd modified
ZiggyCV8Z -1st modified

Well done guys!

[VEWARRIOR]

[Carbon]

Thanks mate and congrats to not only our other winners but to all of BCCC. was a great turn out and representation of the club

We had many membership forms taken and I spoke to a number of new potential members

Well done

[Mark]

Yeah well done to the winners and BCCC was well represented..
Cheers

[keith reed]

Congratulations to Nathan, Mark, Adam and Nick. Well done. The club definitely has some exceptional cars.

Keith I love to see the old cars out there. Makes my blood pump. Love the old Chevs, Buicks and Pontiacs. Just gorgeous cars. Good to see they aren't hidden away so we can all enjoy them.

What I really got a kick out of today was the enthusiasm across the whole age brackets. I heard comments from young kids with their parents - hey mum/dad check out his one cool! to the older guys who just loved the fact that someone was interested in their car and I got some fantastic run downs on a few old cars by their owners. The old guys loved the event today. They loved the fact the younger generations were happy to listen to them about how they'd done whatever to their vehicles.

Shame there were other events that held this one back today.

I would love to see those old cars running around the track. Might look into it and go along to see them in action.

I've got a suspicion that they used to run these cars at Lakeside.

Might have to check out QR's website calendar but I'm sure the HQs still run around also.

Definately worth looking into and heading out for a look.

GM Roundup Wrap Up!

What a long day for us all. Some kicked off at 3:45, others earlier. The weather threatened as I woke to the sound of rain and told the missus I was glad I'd washed the car the day before as I know everyone else had also done. But the weather held off. Thanks Mtr Nature ;).

We rolled into Maccas on Granard Road one by one. Some by two. Time for a refuel of the caffiene kind! Ziggy was first to arrive and assured me that the coffee was worth it! I opted for a Mother size can of Mother and was ready to go! I swear the Monaro looked like it had just been driven off the showroom floor. Immaculate!

Alex from Mr Muffler rolled in bearing a couple of Commodore Systems in the ute. Thanks Alex for your participation today.

Then the remainder of the Club started rolling in. Of course, Kris' 5 - 10 minutes turned into 12 (yeah mate I timed ya :p) and Carbon was running on time also. :P Once everyone arrived, had a chat and wiped down their cars it was time to roll out.

Off we went. 2nd set of lights and the tail end of the "convoy" was stuck at the lights. Great start! We caught up to the rest of the club and off we went to the Showgrounds. Once there (some of us hehehe) entered through the wrong gate but such is life.

The rest of us were ushered around the bend and into the grounds. Once inside, we were ushered into our spots. Up went the Marquee, up went the Club banner and Sponsors display table and A Frame (see pics) then we were ready to rumble.

Time to take in the sights of the array of gorgous sheet metal and iron that was to roll into the grounds. Ahhh bliss.

So many examples of the GMs finest were there. Australian and American vehicles were very well represented. One vehicle that was an absolute credit to it's owner was the '70s GTS One Owner and he still gets it serviced where he bought it! Now that's commitment!

The "BASH A FORD" and "CRUSH A TOYOTA" were a hit! Literally. ROCK YA took to the FORD and he looked like he knew how to handle a sledge hammer!! There were kids of all ages getting stuck into the event.

I think that Adam would have taken out fashion of the field if he'd come colour coordinated to his car - (read Mankini).

Special mention must go to Kris and Shay for their attempt at sticker application. This seemed to catch the eye of the judges. As always guys, just kidding.

A huge congrats and thank you to all the members who made the treck including our new members. Thank you for coming along today it was a fantastic day out and a great way to finish the weekend for BCCC.

Without further adue, CONGRATULATIONS BCCC. We dominated our Class - 2000 - 2009.

ZiggyCV8 - 1st in the modified category
CARBON - 2nd in the modified category

MARK - 1st in the un-restored category
VALIK - 2nd in the un-restored category.

Thank you to our sponsors for particpating today and also for your support to the club. We are forever grateful.

Thanks again to everyone for coming along to this event. It was a fantastic day and only a sample of what is to come for BCCC.

Stay tuned to the Club Calendar and Events Section for more happenings.

Cheers,

Scott

...lol great write up mate.

In my defense, it was in the wash. However what did forget to mention was you agreed to do advertising for me and Wortec at upcoming events....

Mate, I am happy to advertise for Wortec. Do they know what we are planning and would they sign off on it? What if QSCM got a hold of the pics and they went viral all the way to Wortec! Hmmmm...I think you should put your back into it and put one on.

I've got 2 so Glenn can get in on the action also! ;)

[Valik]

I don't remember entering the comp. I'm sure if I had of I would have at least washed and removed the huge bug splat on the headlight. Pretty good for no effort :thumbs up:

Great write up Scott. My last cup of coffee was about 25 years ago. Bernadette still keeps the industry afloat.

That's my bad. As we were all parking together I put everyone up for judging ;). Paid off hey!

Congratulations to the winners. It was a good day and I just enjoyed representing the club and putting in the appearance. Didn't expect to win anything seeing as there were nicer cars to compete against. :headbang:

[Derek VE SS]

Well done guys , sounds like a great day...Congrats to the winners. Pass on the Adam / mankini thing , would put off prospective members big time ( or attract the wrong type under false pretences )

Due to other car shows being pushed back and having to choose the same day there wasn't the attendance to this one that would have been otherwise but none the less a lot of very nice cars were there.

Of course we were there and cleaned up the category in the judging!

[Carbon]

Win is a win
