Just read that email you sent H about the judging for the best club stand, **** me it's abit OTT


NBO 8 COMPETIONS THREAD #####

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just over two weeks to go so here is all the information you are looking for the competions at the NBO8


this will be the 6th year we have held the club competion and after getting to such incredible levels in the last 3 years and comments recieved and sheer exhaustion from the battleing teams we have streamlined it a little

similar format, the Tropheys have been ordered, and we have done what we wanted to do many years ago increase subaru awareness and link people to the growing club scene that we have created

Its interesting to see that in over 300 cars we have over 280 linked to clubs and because of that and the numbers you have supplied us with we are relaying the field with more emphasis on club space and smaller lines in the middle

will it work ?
we hope so !!
Gus and the Captain are working it out now with scale modles so hopefully we should have enough space for you all in your new larger allocated spaces for your club cars

As we are not having as many lines of cars this year you all must 'buy in to this new concept'

If we see people not visiting other clubs stands and hanging around their own club stands only then it wont work ,but we dont want to go back 8 years to just lines of cars so NBO 8 will only work if people actually visit other clubs to see each others cars and displays Its a 2 way process club stands must be inviting and people are not shy and walk to other clubs to see their cars and meet fellow owners

Im nervous to how it will go this year, most stand managers have reported visitors to their stands ,prehaps other clubs dont want rival clubs looking at their displays I dont know but I want to see everyone on the field moving from display to display ,been wellcomed by other clubs if that happens ,it HAS worked .

this along with my new hatch section in the arena will be my main worries !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Club stand judges are

Lord harding (CS/TTS )NBO Chairman
With over 26 years management experience running shops always looking at perfection ,design ,layout,salesmanship and passion .some say he is mad but his commitemnt to getting Subarus together in a field will go on untill NBO 10 (prehaps longer )


Gus (CS chairman )
Gus was in at the NBO right from the start ''his planning of the field and logistics is fantastic and has helped get the NBO to where it is today "

Mark (classic wr1 show car )
an experienced custom car man ,winner of many awards on the cruise theme owns one of the most photographed Subarus in the UK and has worked closely with us for many years and spends his time visiting other car shows to give us inspiration.

Weasel 555 Andy (USA special envoy )
Andy is so dedicated to the uk subaru scene after living in the USA and controlling the american forums and whole scooby culture over the water that he is a great asset to us with his international experience of subarus

Clare (CS scoobs )
Clare who formed CS babes is a long standing member of CS and the NBO and its important that women are represented in the subaru community her atention to detail and has fetched many ideas to the concept many of you realised she was the mystery judge that marked you all !!




The five judges will score up to 200 points per display giving a total of 1000 points We worked this concept last year and the results were amazing with less then 15% seperating the top 5 !!!We all have different ideas but will all be following the following Criteria

The sections and points are

CLUB STANDS

Banners /signage 10
Bunting/ flags 10
Use of colour/equipment 10
Space uses wisely 10
position of vehicles 10
impact of display 10

60 maximum score
----------------------------------------
CARS
clean and tidy 10
Variety of modles 10
Boards and specs on cars 10


30 maximum score

------------------------------------------
CLUB HEADQUARTERS

Quality of tents/ equipments 10
club info/leaflets etc 10
Catering/hospitalility 10
SWAG and kid friendly 10

40 maximum score
------------------------------------------
Club members /Activities
Roles of members 10
Details of club activities 10
Club Regaila /uniforms 10



CLUB STRUCTURE 30 maximum score
-----------------------------------------------

WOW FACTOR !!!

Desire to win 10
The X Factor 20
Club Theme 10



IMPACT ON THE DAY 40 maximum score

--------------------------------------------
Total 200 points per Judge per display


notes on the above to help the club stand managers Is it wellcoming to outsiders ?
Is everyone treated like a judge ?
does your entry look good from a distance ?
are you advertsing your club ?
If it was a shop would you go in and buy something ?
would you buy into the club/subaru concept did you plan it out beforehand ?
Cars is there lines of scoobies crushed in together or have you put some thought into the layout in colour ,age ,modle,variety and possibly a centre piece ?

Remember we have the show Arena for the entries for the car of the day !!!
are all cars on show looking their best with spec sheets (you will see only max 30 points are awarded for this section as there is more to a club display then just cars !!!

(lordys pet hate is someone polishing the car wearing umbro/addias or looking bored or scared when the judges are wandering around) Is your Club HQ looking fantastic ,this is your headquarters ,your conference room and rest area Does it look the part ?

Do you have club documentation ,leaflets ,buisness cards, photos etc?
Have you refreshments for your troops and guests?
A well fed club is a happy club ""Very imortant part of club structure this !!

Have you developed the SWAG section (Subaru wives and girlfriends ) and activies for any Subaru children as we have become more mainstream /family orintated rather then just men dressed in jeans and T-Shirts looking down at engine bays what we started ten years ago !!


There is many points for this so plan it out well!!

Club members make the group ############

Are they Buzzing and passionate and as excited as Lordy and the judges ?
or are they standing around bored and thinking of the silly world cup Are they advertsing their club and scoobies or addias and umbro or england<chav style > flags ?
Is the club well organised with structure and meetings ?
does the appointed stand manager shine and is he committed ?

##Can he sell the benefits of the club ### Is he/her the ultimate salesman /spokesman and purist ""
the club stand manager and his team ,their excitement and manner has won many tropheys !!

The X Factor !!!

Has the complete stand and staff got it?
Does the judges walk away thinking that was fantastic and wishing they were part of that club ?

and we are repeating again this year !!!


A Theme ####

We would like every club to come up with a theme for the day ,it can be 'anything' scooby OR non scooby

It could be dressing up ,collections ,a charity, a new display, some thing different ?
---Its your choice ----
that is your club theme for the day and you will get 20 points for that and that tied up with the X factor could make you a winner ,

good luck for the gold !!

New clubs dont panic the judges are not as bad as they make out dont be frightened as we are tougher on the Big Hitters """
Some clubs are richer then other newer clubs ,thats why we have developed different criteria that doesnt need hugh amounts spent ,passion is sometimes as important to give every club a chance for the gold




we have final list of clubs now for the NBO 8

stand Managers

##PLEASE CAN YOU ENSURE THAT EVERYONE FROM YOUR CLUB WHO IS GOING IS ON THE NBO LIST AS INSURANCE IS GETTING BOOKED THIS WEEK and the field has been planned and we can,t change it for late comers

NOT ON LIST YOU CAN'T COME IN !!!!


stand spaces will be anounced soon but dont panic you will all fit in if your numbers are correct !

see you all soon

Lordy
