Great stuff guys, and

Great stuff guys, and apologies for not making it.

Sorry I couldn't make it,

Sorry I couldn't make it, all sounds good to me. Just one question: if its a corporation wouldn't it be GSNZ Ltd.? Perhaps the society naming rules are different but when I created my corporation here the name had to end in "Limited".

Temp Account Info for GSNZ Membership

Hi

I've sorted my savings account so that membership payments can be deposited it this account on a temporary basis, until GSNZ is incorporated and we can get a bank account specifically for GSNZ.

If you can email me with your full name, NNO name, email address, and contact phone number - this serves to create a NNO/GSNZ contact list and I will email you back with my account details.

If you have any troubles, just let me know :)

Can we have address

yes

buisness cards

hey guys i just got an email from smilecity saying i hav won 250 free buisness cards. now i havnt actualy looked into it and i imagine there will be some twist but from what i hav breifly read i think it cud be genuine. so i though i might as well make them for either NNO or GSNZI (u get to design ur own obviously). so any1 got a pic i can use for the background that would be relevant? and did we have a confirmation on what the website address wud be? and any other details i cud put on it.

The website will be

The website will be www.gravitysportsnz.org

and i think it's about time we start discussing a logo for GSNZ

themes, not specifics

Yes, we do need a logo, but design by committee always produces poor results.

I think if we can come up with a broad idea of what we want the logo to be, then leave it to a designer to come up with a couple of concepts.

What do we want from a logo? Should it have a skteboard element? New Zealand? should it look like it's going fast?

These are the sorts of things we should give to a designer; amateur or otherwise.

I would avoid having the

I would avoid having the skateboard as part of the logo only because it might drive other potential gravity sports away and the more members we get regardless of their disaplin means more money to hold events. Definitly need something that automatically makes people think NZ, maybe a koru patern in the 'GS'.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...'Holy Mother of God...What a Ride!!!''

Logo Wise How about......

Jestah has a designy kind of guy working with him at the moment so we could ask him to do some draft designs.

My first thought is a Tree with an Apple falling from it and silloette of a guy sitting at the base of the tree about to get hit by the apple. The tree Truck could be shaped like the 2 Islands of New Zealand, The trees leaves could be little skate wheels ;p The Guy could have a Helmet on. The words Gravity Sports NZ would be either positioned under the tree or something like that. Obviously this design is inline with discovery of Gravity by Sir Issac Newton.

that sounds very cool

that sounds very cool

We could take a simple

We could take a simple approach and use the IGSA logo with the letters swapped out as a base, perhaps with some other slight adjustments to represent NZ.

LOGO

Thanks for your offer of help.

We need to choose a GSNZI member to be in charge of this task. Any takers from the Board. I am busy with the Google Apps and Inc Soc application forms so can't fit it in. Can someone drive this one please.

Nick

Great Max has it

OK GSNZI Members, Max is on point for the Logo stuff. He will drive it and contact matty b any anyone else he feels he needs to contact. Suggestions direct to Max please and Max will present min 3 logo designs for the GSNZI members to decide upon.

And not that I want to chase for money but very few members have paid their membership fee to Steph. We need the initial cash to register the incorporated soc. So if you haven't yet paid please pay as soon as you can.

Thanks.

Nick

Was there a post with the account info to send funds to?

Email me

If you email me your details - Full Name, NNO Name, Address and Contact Phone Number - then I'll send the account details back in return.

I apologise for late

I apologise for late payment. I'm going to be a little strapped for cash for the next week or so thanks to traveling.
Will this be a problem?
