ATLBIMMERS UPDATES

Updates



Just a few quick updates.  I'm sorry about the lack of post in the past few months.  I'm going to try to do better about this.   Meet season has started and we had another meet at Gordon Biersch in Buckhead.  We did a quick cruise afterward and it was a lot of fun.  Turnout was kind of small but it worked out ok.   It was on a beautiful Sunday and we got all the events in just before it rained.  As you all know Facebook has been where most of the members are.  We have two pages.  A closed group and a community page.  I'm actually thinking about taking the group to a secret status.   I feel like the group has grown too large and we have lost the closeness we once had when we started.  I realize that a lot of members no longer own BMW's but we do have some new blood that have come in. We just need more enthusiasm.   Some of the newer members bring different dynamics to the group some good, some bad, some in between.  Things have been rocky at times with this new growth but we are going to right the ship. 

Now that I got that out of the way here are the updates:

Meets:
The Varsity is going strong every Tuesday at 8PM as long as the weather holds up.

There is a monthly meet at the Consignment Shed on Thursday May 15th at 7:30PM.  All ATLBIMMERS members have been invited.  Should be a decent turnout.

3 for $9.99

Hey everyone. Sorry about the delay.  I have been super busy this year with my new job and I just haven't had a ton of time to post stuff.  But I'm back and trying to update you on the latest events.  So I'm going to keep this sweet and simple.  Here are the pics from the Bimmers, Beer and Football meet at Gordon Biersch in Buckhead.  It was a pretty decent turnout and we had a ton of fun on the cruise we did.  We cruised from through Buckhead to I-75 to I-285 back to GA400 and back to Gordon Biersch.   It was a lot of fun.  Don't miss the next one!

Here is a link to all the photos!

2014 UPDATE

Hey Guys and Gals,

         I just wanted to give a statement for the group.  The new year is here and this will be the 3rd year the club has existed.  We have gone through a lot of ups and downs lately and 2013 was a strange year but a growing year for the group.  I'm hoping that 2014 brings positive changes and better things.  As you know this is the cold season and we normally don't have a lot of meets around this time.  However a lot of the Facebook members have been antsy about not meeting as of late so I will try to have a meet within the next coming weeks.  Also there is a new Forum called GABimmers aka BMWofnorthga that has just started recently.   Scott Eisner is running this forum and he will be hosting meets as well.  He has a meet coming up on the 25th of this month. The details will be posted in day or two and in the event section.

          Facebook has been a double edged sword.  It has allowed the group to grow but it has also presented unforeseen challenges that we are working through.  We currently have 755 members although some are a mix of M-Atlanta and A-Town M Club and we have lost a lot of members due to the negative effects of the Facebook growth. Also a couple of additional clubs have popped up from the negative growth.  I personally look at it as a good thing because it allows everyone to have a place and it gives us a larger infrastructure for the BMW clubs overall.

        This year I'd like to gain more sponsors and try to come up with more creative ideas for us to do.  Being that we are a free club there isn't much that I can offer considering that we don't have a club budget, however I will work with the board and my current sponsors to try to figure out new things for the group.

        If anyone is interested in stickers I have about 12-15 left and our sticker guy Jesus Leon has some left as well.  Feel free to contact me at atlbimmers@yahoo.com for his contact information. You can also contact me for stickers and they are $3 each.

        I would also like to thank our board members and admins for helping to keep things under control on Facebook as well as helping me make tough decisions.  The Board Members are Nivedh Manohar, Brian Berman, Will Shabura and Myself.  The Facebook admins are Alex Funari, Emily Danger Fest, Doug Bryant, Will Shabura and Myself.

       I hope 2014 is a prosperous year for everyone and I thank each and every one of you for being a member.  ATLBIMMERS wouldn't be what it is without each of you.  Special Thanks to our sponsors Solomotorsports and Markert Motor Works for treating our members great as well as doing great work and special thanks to my good friend Dani over at Butler Tire for always being supportive from day 1 and also thanks to United Auto Brokers for hosting us in Oct.

Your Group President
Darcy Campbell
