Proposal of meeting TIME change

I've been going to club meetings for the last year and half, and to be honest, I've always enjoyed the tire kicking/shooting the breeze that takes place outside in the parking lot prior to the meeting more so than the dinner itself.

That in no way is a knock on the efforts of Dave and Lisa in regards to making the inside part of the meeting fun. I appreciate very much what they do with the raffles and what not to spice up the evening.

However, as has been stated previously, we are a car club and I enjoy being outside with the cars and the owners. The meetings don't seem to be nearly as much fun when we simply congregate inside without having spent time outside seeing who's done what to which Fiero.

Except for the "Goodbye Nigel" meeting, attendance appears to be flagging at club meetings the last few months. I think John (Dr Fiero) is on to something with suggesting we have the meetings a little earlier (at least in the late fall/winter months). This might give the club meetings, especially this time of year, the little boost they appear to need. In doing so, I also believe we lock ourselves into keeping the meetings on Saturday (so as to avoid scheduling conflicts with work for many members during the week).

Keep in mind though, if it's a cold winter day with driving rain, the time of the meeting will make no difference at all in regards to us spending time outside kicking tires and shooting the breeze. It'll still be an inside only meeting, but at least if the weather cooperates we'll have the opportunity of spending some quality time outside in the daylight.

So I vote for advancing the time of the meetings (in the late fall/winter if not for the whole year). Seems like a good idea to me!

 So are we decided 6pm as a new start time?   Please respond with a

Yes your fine with the idea

or

No I don't like it and I won't be making the meetings.

Please take into consideration that with a 6pm start time, people that want to walk around the cars or show off there own cars should start showing up at around 5:30, as the meeting will be starting at 6pm.
