How to organise your own Z Club event

Events are brought about by enthusiastic members just like you. All it takes is an idea and a little work to run a successful outing.

Do I need permission to run an event?

Any club member is welcome (encouraged) to organise an event, but please contact a a committee member to make sure that events don't clash and that the event is consistent with Z Club values.

What kind of event can I run?

The limit really is your imagination. Our most common and popular events include:
  • Navigation Trials
  • Dinners (Nosh, Nog 'n Natter)
  • Drag racing
How do I get started?

Once you've got your idea in mind the first thing is to pick a date. Contact a a committee member to ensure you've got the date to yourself.

Next, post in this forum to let people know that your event is going to happen. Here's an example of a basic post:

[hr]
What: An Event
Where: Someplace in NZ
When: Saturday 1st March 2009, 10:30am

Come and have some fun at our event!
[hr]

If you need any help posting to the site, don't hesitate to Contact Pest.

Can I get financial assistance for the event?

The committee will consider providing assistance on a case-by-case basis. Some examples of valid requests would be deposits for large events or venue hire. Contact a committee member to discuss this.

That's pretty much it. Get an idea, advertise it and go for it!
