Love the ideas above, and not much else to add.
There was a meet at Crathes Castle suggested a while back which I thought would be a great idea. Nice place for displaying the cars, and a great cafe/play area for the families. My girls love it there. Maybe turn it into a series of meets at various interesting NTS places? Lots of marques do that up this way. Drum castle already host Jaguar and MG meets, and we could do something similar. A nice variation on the usual Sunday meets in a coffeeshop car park.
I'm feeling the urge for some Sat-Sun trips that don't interfere with monday-friday life, with an overnight stop in a hotel/B&B somewhere on the Saturday night. A sort of softer addition to the Campagasm schedule without all the packing and planning. Just chuck some clothes, toothbrush and wallet in a bag, book a few rooms somewhere remote, drive there on Saturday, drive home on Sunday. Don't plan too much. Fish n chips. A few beers in the bar on Saturday night. The less planning and timetabling, the better. I'll probably propose a few of these in 2019. Maybe Kylesku hotel, and one somewhere on Skye, and maybe a raid over the wall to Northumberland?
Would a shared calendar for events, meets etc be useful?
I see there are some calendar extensions for phpBB, but none particularly enticing, and I'd rather not burden our esteemed sysadmin with all that jazz.
Maybe a Google Calendar, linked from a sticky post in the meets section?
I wouldn't mind maintaining one and sharing it.
