Hey guys, im very excited to announce the start of the New England Protege Owners Club. This is a preliminary overview of who we are and what we are all about and im sure this little document will be changing over the next month or so. Please feel free to send any questions/concerns and most importantly membership info to the e-mail address below.
Name:
This club is called the New England Protg Owners Club also called by its acronym: NEPOC
Purpose:
The purpose of this club is to provide a community in the New England area for Mazda Protg owners and other Mazda enthusiasts.
Dues/Membership Fees:
At this time, we do not anticipate collecting any dues for the 2004 year. The club is just being established and it is not clear at this time what its role will be, nor is it clear what the expenses will include. This means that membership is free for 2004, but also means that if any fees are going to be incurred by the club (t-shirts/stickers/meet costs) that these fees will have to be covered by participating club members.
Description of Activities:
The activities and events that NEPOC will be participating in may in include:
1. Social gatherings, such as picnics, parties, meetings
2. Fun Runs
3. Local and Regional car meets
4. Autocross and Drag-Strip events
5. Car Shows
6. Member discounts*
Membership Requirments:
Ownership of or a genuine interest in a Mazda Protg or similar Mazda model (3, 323 etc..) will be required for membership. You do not actually need to reside IN New England to be a member, but all official events will take place within New England. For the first 6 months (Until July 1, 2004), NEPOC will be open to any party interested in joining the Protg community. After which time, NEPOC reserves the right to permit new membership pending an application process which will be defined at a later time.
Note: There will also be a more broad New England Mazda community to include owners of all other Mazda models. This community will be closely related to NEPOC, but members of it will not be members of the Protg Club.
Goals/Plans:
The bottom line goal of NEPOC is to DO things. Car shows, autox events, meets, picnics, fun-runs, a standard weekly/monthly meeting time and place etcthis clubs purpose is to provide a community of owners so that when you want to go to a race at Limerock, Rev-It-Up at Foxboro, Maine Forest Rally in Maine, enter your car in HIN in Boston, or go to the Berlin Tnpke in CT to hang out with the ricers one Thursday a month, you have a community of owners that you can draw from to best represent Mazda and Protg Enthusiasts. While there may be a mandatory minimum number of events you must attend per year, we do not anticipate any single event having mandatory attendance. Another goal is to get larger turnouts for our meets and events. Over the past year we have had a number of meets and at each one there are lots of new faces that have come to see what we are all about, however there are always some of the faces from the previous meet missing. I believe this is due to a lack of communication with all the owners in the area, and hopefully, having this club will solve that problem.
Mazda Rev-It-Up at Foxboro is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of May 22-23 and this will be the first official NEPOC event. It is
