We had a awesome meet there years ago. Great turnout. Had a private room.
Next time we tried to set something up they wanted something stupid like $1500 just to have use of the private room.

I believe the issue might have been we wanted the room for a holiday party. My guess is they don't want to turn down small companies with 50+ people because another group may have a good turnout? IDK
Id also 2nd giving them another try. The room was awesome and the location central. But if we cannot get the party room. meh Thats kinda what made that memorable.
I know you mentioned before about having someone (or a couple of people), become events coordinators. This way it takes the burden off of you and adds a different mix in to the options.
Maybe stop asking for volunteers and start throwing out nudges to certain people and ask them if they're interested.

Funny you mention that....I'm finally starting to get that event help that I've been begging for. Jerry, who some of you guys have met, has been leading the charge in finding spots for us, setting up introductions, etc. Hes really become a great friend to TCG and a trustworthy consigliere. John (
Os3d4) has also been stepping up and helping plan things as well. Its been super helpful to bounce ideas off new brains.
I’d be interested to see a survey of the age demographics on the site. I think you’re onto something. Anecdotally, it seems we have a lot of members with younger kids (or maybe that’s my distorted perception because I’m in that camp). And that’s not the most flexible age group.
For me, location is huge because if it’s an hour-plus away then I have to plan my whole week around it to make sure childcare is taken care of, and coordinating with the wife’s schedule. If it were a half hour away, I could easily pop over after bedtime. My attendance this year, however, has been greatly affected by cautiousness because of the pandemic.

Even with all the COVID crap I believe we are heading the right direction meet wise. This year I think was a huge success or past couple years IMO. As said Thursday’s should always stay. I believe Sunday C&C should also be an always. Even with our adult lives most people hopefully can make one or the other.
As far as other meets and different nights I believe they are a good idea because it gives people another day to show up if they are busy on Thursday’s/ Sunday’s. But we can’t expect huge turnouts all the time with these. I do believe they are a great way to get attendance from new or busy members.
Also I like what you have been doing with social media. Posting the cars that show up to meets throughout the week is a great way to make people interested. I think we as members could help share those pics more, but I feel it’s going very well.
And totally in for party at Dereks

I definitely want to reiterate again, that I'm not complaining even tho it seems like I am. I'm motivated again and I feel like we're starting to get back on track. But you guys know me, when it comes to TCG, I always feel like I could be doing more.
I’m dreading this winter after all the outdoor activities come to an end. Hopefully we can do some indoor dining meets
And I must be super easy to please but I'd circle Lake Michigan every year. I bet we haven't even unlocked 45% of things to do in and around the lake on all side.
I'm all about 3-4 days of road shenanigans with hotel shenanigans voluptuous magazines in the woods shenanigans. Etc

When restrictions and quarantine are lifted, get your passports ready and should go for a run around Lake Superior. That's a good 5-6 day cruise, averaging about 6-7 hours of driving per day. Did this on the bike back in 2014 (in five days).
I miss the armrest goblin leaving voluptuous ladies as a gift.
Baby come back, I've changed.
So let me start out by saying that I feel pretty lucky that the TCG reemergence has coincided with the time in my life where I have been able to jump back into the car hobby. I've spent more time doing "car stuff" this year than I have in a very long time. Luke's was an awesome throw back and cars and coffee has been great. The location is awesome and the Red Poppy Bistro has great food. The GF and I love it. The track day was also a great event and I hope to see a couple more next year. It has lit a fire in me to finish the car I have neglected for a couple years. There has also been some great events planned that I wasn't able to attend like the brewery so TCG is on the right track.
Now how can it get better? Well I wish I had more tome to make it to events. I think you hit the nail on the head
Mook , people just have a lot going on with family, work and friends. Back in the day I used to try to race Thursday through Sunday so that meant hitting car meets for 3 nights straight. Now cruises and hang outs seem like more fun.
I would love to finally make a TCG tour next year. I'm also looking forward to more track days, cars and coffee and Thursday night meets. See you guys in 2021!

Nccstud, is taps open inside full time now?
Like yes and no. They were shut down, but basically saying FU and staying open because they were losing money. Depends what current guidelines are and what not. I'm sure I can reach out to him and see what his take is on it. If you have an idea of people. 20 or so again?
