Just wanted to throw in my idea into the hat.
First, topping last year's gathering will not be difficult. All I did last year was start a thread and chose date/time/location for Skyliners to plan their time. Based on the turn out, we know that most, if not all of us wants to have this gathering.
The challenge now is to up the ante a little bit. How?
My suggestions:
1. Keep it in Klang Valley. Reason is I think there are more Skylines here than anywhere else. Also, we need as many ppl to show up for registration purpose. In terms of location, it is the midpoint for ppl from the north, south, east.
2. No need to do a family event. The last gathering, only a handful brought their families. I think our objective this time around should be to get as many people 'registered'. Once we have an official club, we will plan for a family day where we can have it at locations outside KV. MLOC has done it in Tambun and this year I heard they are doing it at Jalan gambang Pahang.
3. It was suggested we do a car boot sale for those who have car related things to sell. Of course must give discount laaaaaaa.
4. What if we rent tents and invite merchants to participate (goodyear, hypertune, motorsports playground, jdmautolink etc). What about food stalls etc? Would it be legal for us to collect a days rent from them? Money can be used to pay for venue or for future events. I am sure some of us know someone who would like to set up shop.
5. Drift workshop????
Last year's event, with the goodyear cap and maxis bottle (hahaha) we managed to sustain the interest of skyliners for a good three hours just loitering in the park. With the above i am sure we can make it through half a day. ;)
Anyways, this is just what I think we should do for this year's gathering. Insya allah for future ones we can definitely have it in other states.
Look forward to this year's gathering becoming a reality.
