I've recently spoken with a few of StereoNET's advertisers / supporters about the opportunity to host exclusive SNA days or nights, to demonstrate their products, tell us some information and for those that retail, to offer some exclusive prices on the day to members.

A number were keen, so now in order to take it to the next level I am seeking expressions of interest from you guys to see if you would be interested in this. In some cases, there may be a small door charge (say $5 or $10 per person) as not all have suitable facilities for hosting such an event, and their may be venue hire charges, and of course likely finger food and drinks provided. I don't foresee this being an issue for anyone?

I can obviously volunteer myself to look after Victorian events and coordinate with members and the host. It would be great if some members could step up and volunteer to be a "representative" of sorts and assist coordinating in other states where necessary also.

So, would you be interested in days / nights like this? Would a small surcharge bother you? Would you be going to potentially buy products, or just for the information and social opportunities? Days / Nights suit you better?
Any feedback welcomed, encouraged and appreciated so that we can kick this off and make it successful!

Cheers

We've already done a couple of SNASA nights at VAF Marc. Fantastic idea.

[88pro]

Great idea. Surcharge is no problem at all. Night would better suit I suppose.

On being a potential buyer, may be not. Mostly just for ust for the information and social opportunities, to be honest.

Again, a great idea and would love to participate.

[houdinifangs]

Excellent idea - nights would be better - surchage fine - be great great to see a coordinated event like Vinyl-Eye and Pure Music collaborating for a TT evening

[Marc]

That would absolutely be possible yes (pending discussions with them both of course)

[caddisgeek]

I'd be keen if I ever found myself in town on the right day/night

I am pretty much on the same page as this. Unlikely to buy on the night unless I was already very interested, but would be better informed the next time the upgrade/change bug bit - would appreciate the opportunity

[John H. Darko]

I'd be keen to attend an SGR demo in NSW. Happy with entry fee (or whatever).

[mr-happy-pants]

Nights or weekends preferred, surcharge no problem.

[gainphile]

Happy with the event and charge ...

[Vortexjah]

When I move down south to Victoria you can count me in. This seems like a really good idea. Surcharge would not be a problem.

[Drizt]

Great idea, and I would pay to attend.

Nights / weekends only.

[Upfront]

Sounds like a great idea! I'm happy to help out with WA events, ie. volunteer.

[proftournesol]

This is a great idea and really adds to the value of being both a sponsor and a member.

[Eggmeister]

I'd be in it, not sure if I'd buy, but I'd love to attend

[A J]

Yep I'll be keen to chew the fat & kick some tyres

[Catostylus]

Count me in.

[mrdave]

I'd be in.
Not sure we'd ever reach critical mass down here, but I'd be happy to help Dejan deck out a hall and dazzle a few of the locals with SGR's contemporary weapons.

[Lil Caesar]

Ditto to all of the above

[perthpete]

Plus ONE for WA event(s).. Day or Night, including fee ..

[holdencaulfield2007]

Good idea. I would attend,subject to availability on the day. Evening or weekends would suit me .

[Phill451]

I'd fit it in to the calendar if something turned up in Sydney, again hard to commit to a purchase though.

[Marc]

Sounds too easy guys with so much support.
I will refer those I have spoken with to this thread so they can see the response, and hopefully organise the first official VIC SNA gathering shortly.
We can then look to other states too.

Thanks again, it is encouraging to see this much motivation.

[kunalraiker]

I would like to attend, preferably on Saturdays (mornings are better as the better half can go shopping!)

[Eggmeister]

Would be nice to have a vinyl sponsor present......

[Tony M]

I'd be really enthusiastic about doing whatever I could to help make this happen in SA.

[Bunyip]

I'd be in as well if I have the night free.
Surcharge not a problem.

[Paul Spencer]

It's almost uncanny that you mention this Marc, because just this afternoon I had the same idea ........... whoa .... (just checked the time of your posting) even more uncanny, I was having it at about the same time ... just weird!

[cheekyboy]

Hi Marc,

Happy to take part in this, so I'll catch up with you soon and see what can be organised.

Cheers,

Keith

[CJCC67]

Great idea PMG have already such at Baker st with the TT workshop. Fantastic events

[rantan]

I'd be really enthusiastic about doing whatever I could to help make this happen in SA.

Myself also.
This would be absolutely wonderful and like Tony, I would be happy to help this along in any way possible.

[frankn]

would definitely be on the radar for me. Doubt if I'd purchase on the night but who knows... certainly would be useful for making contacts for upgrade considerations. The social side is always welcome. Surcharge is okay if kept to $5-10. Would be willing to help to make it happen in SA. Would be good to see a t-t event and a seperate digital event

[A J]

I'd be in as well if I have the night free.
Surcharge not a problem.

Don't worry Bunyip - it'll be chickenfeed.......

[RockandorRoll]

Super keen. I have money

With all this ranting about blind tests etc, I reckon it'd be great to compare some amps or similar on some neutral speakers

[Rural Rat]

Work permitting I will be there. Surcharge no issue. Great stuff

[Viognier]

I am in if one occurs in Sydney. Great idea.

[Zen Mister]

I would be interested, depending of course on date and venue. surcharge fine.

[audible1]

Yes me interested too in Sydney.

[Rob181]

You can count me in and I am happy to assist with the organisation for Qld....

[bhobba]

You can count me in and I am happy to assist with the organisation for Qld....

Absolutely - count me in and am also happy to assist in Queensland as well.

Thanks
Bill

[Marc]

The interest in this is evident. Thanks for the feedback. More discussion is taking place on our end and I hope to have something more concrete shortly.

[Bodhi]

Sounds like a great idea, I like it! Since I have a rock solid relationship with my Dealer (unfortunately not a sponsor) I would just be in for the social opportunity & information. Nights or Sunday afternoons are best for me
Cheers,
Bodhi
