Calgary Protege Club???
 

Hey,

Has there been any progress on this club? I thought someone had come up with a dealership sponsor (sadly not mine, I get good service, but it would appear that everyone else hates them). Just wondering what’s going on.

not really.. we don't have nuff ppl yet actaully we have like 3-4 ppl interested lol

Ok,

What (besides people) is required? What are the benifits? etc?

well we need at least 15 ppl to start the club (min) and these ppl have to be deticated, benifits are that.. we get discounts from mazda? LOL hmm, look at this site they have weekly meets

Hey E, you don't need 15 people. We started the Edmonton Protege Club with 9 "official" members. By official I mean that someone gives you some money and we gave them a membership card. We have more pople that could not make it so we may get up there but I would think 5 is fine for a start. The BIG thing, I believe, is to get a Mazda dealer to backyou guys up like we did with Jarman Mazda.

Form it and they will come.

i have since lost interest in a calgary club as i am also losing interest in this forum, my computer, and this city..... I'm happy to just work on my car and stay out of things from here on in......

You don't really need anything formal like sponsorship or even membership card.

I come from the Toronto Protege Club. It started with 6 people interested in their P5's. They started chatting online, and others joined the conversation.

Now, there is a bit of structure in that there are reps for each region handling group buys, official events e.g. Darknights, etc. Other than that, most of the social events and many group buys are initiated by different club members.

As for sponsorship, there is no real expense, except if we want to get our own domain name & web site or go to any large events / shows as a group. Once there is a critical mass, the Mazda dealerships will offer discounts on services and/or parts.

I will be coming in November and I very much want to continue to be involved in a car club. If some of you are already meeting on a regular basis, it IS a club. Hope to meet some of you in November when I move to town. I am willing to help out in any way possible, or just to share some of the fun stuff we've done in the big smoke. :)

Well if people want, I can provide us some webspace etc. I have a server at home and/or via shaw..

let me know
 

Let me know, i'd be interested in meeting others to see cars and the mods on them.

Well ... my car finally arrived! It's sitting in the train depot right now. I am hoping I can pick it up before the end of the week. Perhaps a welcome meet for me & I can share some stories from toprotege.com (aka Toronto Protege Club)?!

I'm up for that, except not this weekend. I need to go to edmonton.

Mesoh,

You keep saying that (I think that this is the third time I've read this from you) and you're still here. Are you in or out...nobody likes a fence sitter. :P



actually this is the first time i said this, and i have no intention of starting or participating in a calgary protege club. i still come here for the purposes of asking a few questions and antagonizing people,:rant:

why?

i don't want to repeat my frustrations, i just have issues

So you guys are the Calgary Protege Club? I might be comming out there in a couple of weeks. My dealership is having a walkaround contest on Proteges.
Winner gets a all expenses paid trip to Calgary.
Who do I call when I get there?
