Minutes of the Meeting of the Toyota Enthusiast Club held at Bamboo No. 2, South Valsayn on Sunday October 12, 2008.

The Meeting began promptly at 3:30pm with a welcome to those present by the host. Apologies were relayed for not having an exact copy of the Minutes of the last meeting to read, and the floor was handed over to Mr. Ralph Deonarine to discuss matters arising.

The named member informed those present that while exact Minutes were not available, the main points of discussion were taken and these were iterated, with those present at the previous meeting providing clarification where necessary.

The meeting then considered the Matters Arising out of the last meeting:

1. Logo - discussions continued on the details of the logo, with all present having decided on the general design. It was decided that for sake of comparison and completion that another font design be drafted. This task was passed to Mr. Jason Joseph who would provide a draft by 15/10/08 and then a decision would be made by final vote of members. The deadline for voting would be 19/10/08.

2. Registration of the Club as an N.G.O. Mr. Ramon Rabathaly outlined the process to those present. No further decisions were taken on this item.

3. Affiliation with TTTL - discussions were held at length on this topic and the meeting took a decision that the decided logo would be taken to TTTL by Mr. Nathaniel Lal along with a simple letter of fact, enquiring on any objection on the part of TTTL to the design.

4. Website - One quote was given to members by Mr. Deonarine and which was received by the meeting. Members agreed that perhaps two more quotes should be forthcoming and then a decision taken on this.

5. Constitution - Deliberations were held. Mr. Deonarine explained that given what other larger and long-present clubs determined as their Constitution and what discussions were held at the T.E.C's first meeting, a draft constitution prepared by Mr. Deonarine was circulated for Members' comment and discussion. The document was discussed and agreed to as follows:
TOYOTA ENTHUSIASTS CLUB (TT CHAPTER)
DRAFT CONSTITUTION

1. The Club shall be known as the Toyota Enthusiasts Club (TT Chapter) and Membership shall be open to owners and enthusiasts of Toyota vehicles and the brand;

2. The aim of the Toyota Enthusiasts Club is to promote and foster a spirit of unity among Toyota owners, tuners and enthusiasts;

3. The Club shall serve as a forum for technical support;

4. The Club shall be regarded as a social, not-for-profit organization;

5. The Club shall seek the interest of Members who compete/participate in legal motorsport activities;

6. The Club shall establish and maintain open channels of communication amongst Members;

7. The Club shall have bye-laws which all members must agree to and abide by.


One or two members however, felt that the document was to simplistic to be determined as a Consitution according to other interpretation of what a Constitution ought to be. Members resolved to research the matter, and also that a member of the Executive from the T&T Rotary Club would be invited to the next meeting to provide clarification and members would thenceforth decide.

6. Upcoming events -
Solodex 6 on October 19th, 2008 at the ARC in Santa Rosa. Members were urged to come out and support the toyota competitors as it would be the last competition for the year, and the chance of a podium finish for some. The event begins at 11am.

Also on October 19, 2008 there will be an event at Camden which members were openly invited to attend.

The TEC river lime is carded for November 2nd at Valencia...the meeting venue would be at KFC Curepe carpark on the morning of that date, at a time to be finalized.

Fundraiser - This was deferred to a later date.

7. Next Meeting - Sunday November 9, 2008 @ 2pm in Bamboo #2, South Valsayn.
