Campwerks 2011 *old thread*

[ShowCar]

It's been discussed in other threads, but I propose that campwerks become a non euro-specific event. Instead, I think that attendance should be limited to club members and that they're welcome to drive/bring any drive-worthy car that they own.

I don't suggest this for my own benifit (since I'm sure I could've brought the subaru down last year) but I just think it's more of a weekend about hanging around with buddies and going on a nice cruise. It's not really about cars, so I see no reason to draw the line that way.

My $.02.

My other suggestion is pre-registration. I also think it'd be fun to pick new locations each year. That may be too much work, though.

There won't be another camperks.

That's really a bummer, as I had a great time last year, but I understand the reasoning behind not wanting to take the risk again and having the turnout be as low as it was last year. I'm really sorry that it didn't work out, but I hope that maybe a group of us will be able to figure out something similar, but less formal (less monetary risk for the club) to do this year, as it was a perfect way to end the summer, and a great way to break-in my new car .

Yeah, not really a bummer at all. Nothing stops a group of us from going camping/driving.

That solves that though, dowhatyouwantwerks 2011.

I'll be going on another camping adventure this year for sure. It's just too bad that so many people raised their hand to join and then dumped out when it came time.

I still don't understand why that happened.

No pre-registration, no accountability.

[BimmerTim]

People are unreliable.

This.

When I was in college, I rented a big ass house in FL for spring break. I charged handraisers 35% up front. Non-refundable if they backed out 30 days prior to rental date.

Jes is just mad. We will see how things go. The club will not front the money this year that's for sure.

[BimmerTim]

Glad we didn't make shirts to sell. lol.

Either way, some sort of Campwerks-esque event will still happen, it will just be prereg.

I would 100% want to do campwerks again, just do mandated preregistration, no refunds at all, period. Well, maybe for special circumstances handled on a case by case basis. On that note, there is nothing to stop a group of dedicated people from just heading off to go camping without reserving a complete campsite ahead of time.

I paid for my spot even though I only came down for the camp fire for a couple hours...

That is because you actually care about the club and you are a really good guy overall. Now, if you didn't care and were a total flake.... that is another story.

I wouldn't mind if peoples campsites were spread out across the campground, it's always fun to walk from campsite to campsite with a rolling cooler in tow.
