I agree with mad89 .. Best time to break the ice is right at the start of the cruise ...
I think those who come out most often and knows who's who in the zoo, should proactively go out to meet new comers ...
I'd normally do that when I am on the cruise anyway....

have you come on a cruise funky...only jokin bro...whens the next adhoc coffee meet..

I think theyre good so far.

One thing i suggest is at some point, gather round the participants and perhaps introduce ourselves. Tell everyone our real names and user names and maybe just have a general chat? Sometimes its hard for randoms or individuals to mingle when theres groups that form among the people (because they already know each other).

It happens at almost every cruise/show/stereo comp/whatever that i've ever been to. Not everyone is outgoing enough to jump into a group of say 5-6 people that know each other already and are chatting, and just be like "HEY GUYS!" haha. Awkward much?

Hopefully this makes sense? lol.

I came up to and introduced myself during the dyno day at port hacking (I think the place was port hacking) I spoke to u when ur car was getting on the dyno. Not so sure if u remember me though lol.

Like the Brest cancer charity cruise, I built up the confidence to the group of rexnutters who I have never met before n said "Hey guys!" lol we ontroduced ourselves, shared a few stories n I quickly disappeared to go grab some photos

but by doing so, I think it would help me mingle better now that i've met them.

In regards to feedback for cruises. Make them a bit later lol I'm always late coz they're too early lol

We can do that pete...but why are you always late....if we change the time it doesnt really mean that you will still not be late...?

It's alway cause I went to bed late therefore waking up late lol

i don't expect the start time to change because I want to sleep in. I was only kidding.

We all know that it comes down to dedication and getting my arse out of bed

Yer but sometimes its hard to make them later...cause then the day drags on too long and we get stuck in stupid sunday traffic getting home...its good to start them early on a sunday as there arent alot of cars on the road

Good plan! lol.

Yeah i have never been on a cruise with a car club(save for vintage car club cruises when i was a kid with my family) and so yeah i can understand the reluctance to attend - and also the difficulty involved in introducing yourself - it takes some balls to walk up to complete strangers and say hi - im so and so - and yeah i dont think i am that ballsy - so sooner or later i may muster up the courage to attend a cruise but i dont know how ill be - prolly just hang back - so yeah i do think the intro bit is prolly a good idea

Well, the mods are planning to buy some RexNuts Tshirts for ourselves so it will be easier for all newbies to recognise us, and come say hi. That way, you will see some familiar faces as we all generally attend all the events that are organised.
I was in the exact same boat tho.. im a fairly shy person, but attending cruise after cruise and getting involved really helps

You just gotta keep in mind 'We are all there, because we have something in common'! And thats the very reason we created this forum.

Just watch out for anyone driving a blue rex.. we carry knives. Lol, just kidding. I am yet to come across a single asshole that attends the cruises

Dont be scared mate of us...we all enjoy a laugh and all of us have different levels of experience with subbies...Some alot and some not so much (me)..so it doesnt really matter what you know or who you know...After the first meet you will be set...
Ive met some really good people on here since we started the forum and they have become very good friends...
