Creating a driving event
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2016 10:10 pm
One of things many people enjoy is going for a drive with fellow enthusiasts. To make organize this type of event, board members should include the following information as a minimum:
In the subject line: Date of event & Destination, [eg, 2016-06-24 = Port Dover]
In the message body, follow this example:
Place to meet: Tim Horton's, 1167 Garrison Rd, Fort Erie, ON
Departure Time: 2:00 pm
Route: [use BBCode bullets and include waypoints and stops along the way]
Board members are welcome to make suggestions but the topic starter has the final say in the organization of the event. If the date and/or destination changes with the discussion, the topic starter should revise the subject of the topic's first post accordingly.
For a more involved trip, the organizer should consider handing out maps showing the route to participants.
