Seth I'm having fun. I'm sorry for some reason you aren't. Do what you need to to have that fun, it beats the alternative. :yesnod:

 

Ok Chuck.... Not at all the meaning of what was said but whatever.

 

Piqua MINI Society

 

Your right Seth, Nick has tried to set up things and the current group of people choose not to do them. I'm not lambasting you, I'm challenging you and whoever else shares your feelings to make a difference. Work with MAG to have a meet and greet, start a FB page, make an effort to go to other car events and meet people. Just saying you want everyone to have fun and create a fun atmosphere is worthless without effort. Will you lose current people because of this....maybe, but that happens regardless. There are probably only 4 or 5 people still around from when I first started hanging out with this group back in 2007. If you take out the people who sold their MINIs, it drops to 1 (maybe 2 if you count the sole member of PMS[emoji6]).

I said before that you (whoever) need to determine what you want out of a group/club and then do it.

 

I've said my piece throughout. You haven't said anything I haven't heard before. This was blown completely out of proportion and I'm done talking about it.

The thread is about moving locations for the 3rd Saturday of the month. Continue locational ideas please.

- The MOM Pariah.

 

That was what I figured would happen. Back on topic...if the location moves, how does it get communicated out to the masses? Doesn't seem like everyone who shows up is very active here.

 

Why not do a donut tour? Pick a "local" donut shop every month and drive to it. Or a mom and pop donut shop or what have you? I know logistics would get hectic with newbies though.

Schulers is my número uno pick!

Or do something like breakfast with Nick and just breakfast hop to different joints and shop around for a new spot.

 

Hah... 3rd & Hollywood, I did the awning and planters out front and all the metalwork inside... They do have good food there... But the parking lot is not very large....

You almost need to pound a stake in the ground and say this is the new spot... If it keeps moving around to different locations it could be a problem and people might lose interest...

 

That could be an idea....a tour of Metalman's handiwork!

 

Nope..... Donuts would be better...

 

Part of the problem might be that we do take up a lot of restaurant space at Tim Horton's, but management doesn't complain because we sit on the closed Wendy's side.... Once we've had our two donuts and a cup of coffee, we sit around and chew the fat for 1-1/2 hours or so without spending anything... Would another location be as accomodating?

 

That was definitely an issue at the first TH. Small store and small parking lot. I love me some Jolly Pirate donuts, but there is no way that it works as a meeting spot for a group of people.

 

What is funny is that the opposite seems to be happening in this instance.

 

Opposite minus the dues and leaders and formalness. Drama will always be there.

Thanks Dave for steering the topic back off the path as we just got back on it. Lol

 

Probably not....

On those rainy days, the donuts will be served up in California, including an impromptu drive.....

 

I've enjoyed getting to know you guys. I'll head to whatever new place you pick. Would it be insane to just meet at Cars & Coffee (the same parking lot)? We could grab our own row, meet, and hang out talking about - and seeing - some cool cars.

 

I'm all about C&C, but the limited breakfast options (just bagels) and seating in Cup O' Joe would make that challenging. The Giant Eagle idea sounds good in that it seems central to most.

 

I second. I'm going to have to dust of my parliamentary procedures handbook from my Future Farmers of America days in high school.

 

Just do cars and coffee instead. Half of MoM doesn't have MINIs and doesn't like them so it all fits together. The MINIs can be together. The VWs can be together. The Mazdas can together. The Fords can be together. Steven and Chris can even bring their trucks.
