Austin, Tx Area Sharks
Myself and a few others are looking at starting an Austin area Shark club. So email me at bower@infraworks.com if you are a 68-82 owner and interested in getting information re our first meeting in late May!!! I know San Antonio and Houston have C3 clubs, so why not us?

Re: Austin, Tx Area Sharks (Gage)
Our group in San Antonio isn't a "club." It's C.R.A.P. (Corvette Restoration and Preservation), a loose agglomeration of crazies who love their C3s and can talk about the merits of various carburetors (among other things) for hours on end. And of course we :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Although we're affiliated with one of the mainstream clubs here in town, nobody has to be a member of that club (or any club) to attend our events.
The minute you start using the word "club," you court disaster: Roberts Rules of Order, membership dues, meeting minutes, newsletters, blah blah blah. And you attract people who believe a club should have all that nonsense.
All that "club" stuff makes me wanna :U
Our group is loosely based on the Colorado Corvette Crazies, who drink more beers and fix more cars per capita than any car "club" anywhere in the world!:yesnod: Consider forming your organization accordingly.

Name a place & a time, and I'll try to be there. I go to the occasional CRAP event, but I'm far enough away from both Austin & SA that I can only be a part timer.

The Big Country Corvette Club in Abilene is a club without rules, bylaws etc. actually more of a social group that goes to a few events yearly and meets every sat for dinner and friendship. Members 20s-80. You can have your cake and eat it to sometimes. :D :cheers:
