Is there such a thing? Why not? How do we go about organizing one? I think we should have one, there's GTO, firebirds etc. clubs. We could have differnt divisions and classes. Meet up at events. What do you guys think? Or am i of my roller rockers?

POCI won't bog anyone down.They want to see a membership roster and an annual report once a year.The annual report asks a few questions about what is going on in the club and an account balance and a list of officers.POCI also has inexpensive insurance for officers and directors.It will also be a good medium for free advertising(11000 members)for more members.You have 1 meeting a year at the POCI convention,or more,if you want.
I can do the paperwork,done it before. Let me know if you want me to proceed. The most important thing is a newsletter editor. The difference between inlaws and outlaws-outlaws are wanted

All you need to start a specialty chapter in POCI is have 12 POCI members who want one.You need officers,and the most important,a newsletter editor.I would join,and I'm sure many others would.I talked to some people in Norwalk who floated a similar idea.
If you are interested,let me know and I'll contact the POCI New Chapter Co-ordinator,Ginny Simmons. The difference between inlaws and outlaws-outlaws are wanted

OK, I'm back from the weekend guys. Didn't have a chance to check in. I'm going to put some info together and float a few ideas out to you. Spoke to my web guy and will meet with him this week to pass along some ideas that we all come up with.
This may sound like heresy, but I would rather not be a specialty chapter of POCI. I'd rather we were just a club. Getting bogged down with reporting to POCI, having required meetings, and reporting rosters and dues to POCI. I'm already a part of the Grand Prix Chapter and see what a nuisance it can be. Most of us are probably already members of POCI anyway but I would hate to have it be a requirement to all hang out together. Any thoughts? Also, I don't want my enthusiasm to make it appear as though I'm taking this thing and running with it! It was just such a great idea...I want to make it happen ASAP! It sounds like we all have a ton of resources that would allow multiple contributors, but since I have a web guy, I thought it would make sense to establish a "home-base" of sorts. Does that make sense? Karl really threw the idea out here, so I'm going to email you off the board Karl and perhaps we can chat by phone. This is gonna be fun fellas! John |

You said it John!
 I'm in too. I'd love to see this go down. I can not get enough of the full size pontiacs. If it was a drug I'd be dead by now of an overdose. Well my wife may kill me anyway. My kids love the old boats though. We definately need to welcome the westcoasters as they have all the good metal! I'd love to see that swap meet area! How about you?

Lets do it. We will need a large Docking area. I nominate Port of Charleston in Charleston SC.

I'm in...."Big Time"
remember: Clubs = dues,time,paperwork,someone to organize,time,websites,newsletters,time,members, time The club will only be as good as the members running and organizing it (time) I always have loved the idea, but never the time to do justice in organization for the cause. But as member, I can give my piece of time, effort, and cash to make it happen. hmmm...if it didn't sound so "hip-hop"...how about "Big Timers" "Big Time Pontiacs" "Big Time Pontiac Owners" A cut off for years restricts membership potential.Although I'm not opposed to the restriction. Car owners only ?, or All interested in biggies? Body class..a,b,f....restrictions or how about name badging. Example ("GP's" only, any year) A blending of old and new tech and body styles would say we're more interested in the "names" than the actual size of our rides. This "Island" of a Catalina in my garage is in as well....BIG TIME !!!!! |

POCI also requires full membership of a chapter to thier club. This is where the dues comes in.

I just noticed in the latest Smoke Signals magazine that there's already a website for '71-'76 full size cars, at www.classicpontiacs.com... so, maybe this group should be for full size cars 1970 and earlier.

I like the idea of a full-size club but I don't want to have to surf POCI's website for info, I'd rather keep it here where it's less formal.

The way I look at it is, if you want to take the ball and roll with it, more power to you. It takes people like yourself to get these things going in the right direction. Probably we need to get some kind of database going. Me along with a few friends of mine started a club for collectors of Dean guitars. It started out exactly like this and now we have the DOA (Dean Owners of America). This was in late 2001 and now we have over 150 members. If you want any info let me know and I will be glad to help

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by 64cat:
Here's a thought. Just let cars in from the Bunkie Knudson (1957?) era thru 1970 When the cars were the gentlemans hot rod.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, I totally agree with that, maybe push it to '75 cause the cars are so similiar until then and that would also increase membership.

A quite wonderful idea if I do say so myself!
Now all we'd have to do is rent out an airport for a weekend so we could all park our cars together!  I personally like taking up enough parking spaces for 3 Honda Civics. Another Red Light Nightmare

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
