Young Interest in Club

[mad_keen]

Not really a site support question but its aimed at admin. How did u get so much young interest in this club?

Im part of a club up here and the average age is probably 40-50. Like one cruise was to the RSL for lunch lol, not cool.

How did you guys promote the club when you started out?

[EFFalcon]

I think its the type of car more then anything.
the Club started as an EA club, obviously EA's were cheap, it then expanded and took in EA-ED
followed by EF/EL

then 3ish years ago we rebranded to Boosted Falcon.

In my opinion its a product of the cars we drive, young people buy eseries as P platers, and now as the upper spec AU's and BA/BF's etc get cheaper and easier to go quicker, younger people are getting into those.

Probably helped by the fact that it was always 'run' by younger people.

I first became active in the club when i was 18, Sunny was like 15 or something

My dad's in a Morris Minor club, and the average age is probably around the 40-50 mark.

[mad_keen]

Its a performance ford club. But yer i think Im one of 3 younger members (under 20) and we all have e-series cars.

How old are u now? lol

But then again theres only like 50 members. Compared to this its tiny!

Did u advertise anywhere or just word of mouth?

[EFFalcon]

i'm 26.
We gained a lot of members because we were affiliated with AFF until 3.5 years ago.
so any eseries owners on there would sorta join because it seemed obvious.

other then that, we don't advertise apart from being at events/cruises/shows etc

[rhys]

how many 'active' members are there now? I know from looking at the members name there are A LOT of people who join but never make a single post.

[mad_keen]

We had a mini e-series cruise today lol a whole 3 cars. 1 is a member on here actually and hasn't made a single post. SOFT!

Did u create this site at 18?

I've actually sent a few people here from youtube, funnily enough - every once in a while someone sends me a message on there asking how to make their car faster, and I give them this URL

[holmsy]

[Eb Barbie]

Also thankyou to the partners of these dedicated people for allowing their time to do so

I'm a member not just partner, same with Kristy etc

You can see my work in progress at Charity Cruise which Pete gets all the credit for

[NUT347]

Oh Beth seems you have a little stalker!

Lol.

[Rollin]

I don't get what SnyperEB was thanked for. He was a mod at E-Series when we shot through to form this joint. Lol.

And any possible good he has done is more than negated by the crimes he has committed against humanity by fitting those wheels to his car.

[Hayden]

I think brockybb needs some recognition too..
He sent me a PM on the VCC forums about this place, and even though i dont post much (at all lol) i still go through the forums every day.

Also a big thanks to everyone on here, this forum is such a good resource point for alot of people including myself It's good to know in advance that altezza's are a monumental mistake

[mad_keen]
