open a thingamejig (what's one higher than a thread? a page?) for TransitMania 2010.
It may make it easier for you to start working through new ideas now?
First question -
Will the voting sheets be the same? as I noticed a lot of people struggled to pick 1st 2nd and 3rd favourites.
I did too, but just think people needed more time maybe? or less options?
I know you've said that there'll be set times next year which will help.
Also -
I had an idea of organising a welly throwing competition for the Saturday
I will provide the welly and measuring tape
I wanted to do it this time, but left it too late to organise it, and forgot to bring the wellies

i like this idea it'd been suggested by matt before this years event but we thought it'd have took too much organising (this year), but next year i hope to get the entire field so we can fence off areas for stuff like this, we could have a small course set out with cones, each person reversing a transit+trailer against the clock - have a leaderboard and prize for the quickest oneBritishbulldog wrote:A trailer reversing contest (that would see a few laughs)
thats not strictly true, the funds for the show although they had come from my bank account it was money the forum has made on advertising, if you go to the home page for example http://fordtransit.org/image right at the bottom the google adverts we get paid per click on those, also the section sponsors pay, i'd always ask anyone using them to mention they got the link off here - as it makes them realise the effect the ad is havingfastmower wrote:As far as suggestions go - my first one would be some kind of entry fee or at least a donations box. Someone told me on Sunday that all the trophies etc had come straight out of Luke's pocket
i'd definatly be intrested in this having the countys there was great, over time i'd like to expand the catagorys - there are so many vans out there which deserve recognition see how it goes and we'll know nearer the time how many countys are up for it next year to get 3 in the 1st year was superbfastmower wrote:There was a suggestion that the County crew could have their own category like the campers did - hopefully we'll persuade a few more of the brotherhood to attend next time!
yeah this was exactly the sort of thing i've reaslied - this was the 1st event like this ive organised so it was a big learning curve but what i'd like to do is plan the layout better next year so we can base it round the marquee - at night we can use it for the disco and in the day as a tea drinking venue - mabe even get a tv screen in and play some transit videosfastmower wrote:At big mower racing events we tend to put up a decent sized tent/marquee where club members can congregate and chat - might be an idea to have a central point like this and it makes it easier for new people to get introduced/involved without having to wander about and hope someone will get talking to them - we usually have a tea urn and brew stuff in there too - though a bottle opener would probably be more appropriate for you lot
yeah another good point - origanally we were going to try get the mk's together but made the desicion at the time it would have been too hard - and i think it would have been but next year better preperations we shoul be able to - but it might be better to line them in catagorys ie. all the working vans together all the modifieds etc. as i think that was more difficult than the mk'srover wrote:From the people I spoke to in the show one thing was very clear, unless they were into Transits they didnt know what Mk was what, and walking back and fourth trying to find each Mk was a task even for those of us who do!!! Although a large circle looked really good, I think for the purpose of making voting easier we should have designated lines for the Mk's.
A simple post in the ground with a piece of A4 on it.....Mk1's here.
Mk2's here.
Mk3's here. etc etc etc...
