[TR] Car club meetings

[dave1massey at cs.com]

 Sometimes a good, ole rivalry works wonders.  Last Spring our club president
challenged the MG club to turn out more cars to the annual Easter car show
(hosted by the Horseless Carriage Club).  On the surface this sounds like a
fools errand.  The MG club Roster is MUCH bigger than ours.  But, the prospect
of a come from behind victory pulled out cars we haven't seen for years and we
won by a wide margin.  What was at stake? bragging rights.  Nothing more.  But
sometimes that is enough.

Looking for some ideas. Our local British club has been in place for a couple
of decades. Same core people hang around. Some come, some go. Seems like as
time goes on more go than come though. Years ago our monthly meeting used to
be pretty good. Now they are pretty stagnant. Could be because we have been
following the same exact format for years. Maybe it time to try something
different. You folks that attend local car club meetings, what do other
groups
do that makes the meetings something that folks want to attend and
participate
in?

Thanks,
Marty
