I have been in contact with some friends that are involved with Channel 7 Adelaide. I made mention that everyone who attended the 2009 event had a blast. I was encourage to e-mail the news director of 7. He reponded shortly after and was more than happy to accommodate our organisation with some coverage with a live satelite feed from Lake G.
What are peoples thoughts as he will be ringing me back in the near future.

Tailored media is more appropriate.
Everyone here scoffed at Top Gear magazines coverage and simplistic commentary, and they're a motoring magazine.
Street Machine has done excellent coverage the last few meets,some of the smaller publications have done well too. The newspapers usually do a photo or maybe two and a VERY brief explanation/summary.
If the idea is to attract competitors/members/spectators then the kind of coverage that SM , Cruzin, ASR do is the way.....not Sixty Minutes, Current Affair....or any other 20 second news grab. It gives people the wrong idea,makes us look like hoons and attracts dickheads.
We have a 100 mile Fool Filter and this year it did it's best on the way home to convince plenty of the half committed to not go back......If the the meet is to stay well organised it needs repeat attendees committed to volunteering ...not an endless stream of annoying one timers.
My vote says stuff the news crews.
Sermon over.

I Totally agree with the Doc, regarding media coverage, non revhead type media coverage should be discoraged.
"If the the meet is to stay well organised it needs repeat attendees committed to volunteering .."
speaking of voulenteers, how 'bout updating the Task Assignment Schedule Greg, there's been no update since 9-12-09 , or has there been a halt in the "hands up brigade"?

The last thing we need is TV coverage, we had it in the past, & it attracted dickheads. The true enthusiasts will see our coverage in the car & bike magazines. S.A. has a very anti anything fast nazi running the state at the moment & we dont want him jumping on the bandwagon either. I vote no TV cameras . Pete. DLRA #6
