Ideas and Views for Glasgow Monthly Meetings
Discussion
I don't do democracy very well! I blame Uncle Benito for corrupting my thinking.
Anyway, as always we have differing views as to what we should do and differing requests.
Some guys are very happy with the monthly curry night at India Quay.
Others want a place to see the cars and kick tyres and also eat and drink.
Having always operated on the principal of 'Benign Dictatorship, I thought possibly do one of them, on the basis that one can never please everyone!
Another possibility, is to do do a month about, perhaps over the summer months? The difficulty as always is finding a venue for the 'kick tyre event' with food and drink.
I am not sure that Glasgow PH could cope with two events per month? I am at tinderbox each Sunday morning for coffee and so far only graham430 appears. It is his regular haunt though.
The main idea should be to attract people to meet up and not just type! If people just one to do that, that is fine, I have no issue, but many want more.
Anyway, ideas on a £20note posted to my home address ( or you can post a reply here, sob)

Is tyre kicking a historical method of judging the pressure contained within said tyre or a form of morris dancing?
Current curry format suits me fine.
As most know I prefer my car shows to be dynamic and mechanical musically accompanied rather than static.....horses (heads) for courses.

I'm enjoying my monthly curry but the summer evenings and potential dry weather could mean an extra night somewhere like Duck Bay as mentioned before.
As long as I'm not on a shift week I'll go anywhere mid week
Yep, duck bay is the place to do this, nice drive to get to, big car park and food/drink. Would be good to give it a try.As long as I'm not on a shift week I'll go anywhere mid week

A local Jockey there told me sometimes he hated the Derby, but life is full of Epsom Downs! 
Dreadful joke but somehow matches the place. 20 years of going to our office there, yuck! Even if it was opened by Derek Bell and his Le Mans winning Porsche. Sh!t, I'm ancient!! Almost every year they would hold a meeting during Derby week, frigging chaos to us engineers coming down from all over the country.

Hi
I have been to the wheelhouse a few times as we used to have our planning meetings for the Italian Car and Bike day there.
It is about 20 minutes from Glasgow. Literally just off the Motorway going towards the back end of Falkirk.
Parking is fine and you can see the cars.
Any views as having this as a month about? Or say an additional evening and invite our friends from the East and Central as say a mid May Motor meet! They have a bar too, so you can just have a coffee or drink instead of food.

I agree with that, but it is a bit far west for some guys. I was thinking more of a mid Scotland mid month meet to go along with the curry night.
I was hoping to get guys from Falkirk and Edinburgh along and see if can get say 30 + cars?
We could do the 'curry night' at Duckbay or have that as an alternative Glasgow night?
I will check dates with Pardeep as we cant go there if there is a big concert on at the SECC.

Falkirk suits me a tread and is central...... duck bay is a great venue and will suit some from Glasgow area. You could possibly pick a venue West, Central & East and rotate. The only problem i could see, is that people only go to the meet when it's in their own area. The run through and back to a venue would also be fun.
