Hi all! :)

I have an idea to begin posting community/sporting events going on for the communities c/perth and c/environment.

I’ve developed some lists of events across the year for each, the one below is the one for c/perth so far.

Due to the nature of an ‘event’ there’re often commercial aspects, or they are outright commercial enterprises running these things. This means my idea to start posting about these events runs up hard against rule 4, no ads/spamming.

I’m looking for a ruling/guidance on how to choose an event to not be in contravention of this rule? Or even whether i need to walk away from this idea completely due to the grey area this imight be.

This post mainly pertains to the admins, but i’m really interested to know what others think, also if anybody has any ideas of events i’ve not thought about. @[email protected] @[email protected]

Here is the list i have so far for c/perth as an example of the events i’m thinking about.

If people have ideas for other WA events i’m definitely looking for more, i’d preferably like to develop an initial list of around 50.

• The Western derby (AFL)
• Avon descent
• Port to Pub
• HBF run for a reason
• City to surf
• Telethon
• Rottnest swim
• Camel cup (kal)
• Targa west
• Possible ascot spring carnival
• Astrofest
• ECU engineering school gokarts
• Margaret river pro surfing
• City Xmas lights trail, 22nd Nov, https://visitperth.com/events/rio-tinto-christmas-lights-trail
• Xmas light trails in the burbs
• Garage sale trail
• Record store day (maybe, could be considered advertising/promotion)
• Sculptures by the Sea
• Weekend post about which community markets are on that weekend inPerth.
• WAM WA music awards
• Northam Indy 500
• Canarvon Windfest day

My reason for thinking about this, is since becoming involved with Aussie Zone and searching for good sources for posts i’ve found quite a few sites that purport to be about promoting local “events” but are little more than paid tourism/hospitality event promotion sites. The most acceptable site like this i’ve found is probably ‘Perth is Ok’ who actually do put up the odd interesting article in between what look like paid placements. So i’s thinking a useful update service of real community events could be helpful for people.

Cheers everyone in advance for your input on this :)
