Lots of feedback on the Cruise Night issue, as I expected. And there certainly are a lot of differing opinions. When we left Home Depot and moved cruise night to Mels, attendance dropped and dropped quickly to the point where there were only 15 to 20 cars showing up, and Mels kept reducing our allotted parking spots. We tried a couple of other places in Derry (Walmart and the pizza place just off 93), but for whatever reason, tese didnt work out either. Advance Auto is a bit farther north, but not much. The big pluses to remaining at Advance Auto are that they give us plenty of parking, 20% off at Advance Auto, and 10% off at USA subs. And Dunkin Donuts and a couple of restaurants are within walking distance. Bass Pro Shops did not work out this year as they would only commit to 50 parking spots, and I think we all agree that is not a sufficient number. So we remain at Advance Auto for 2014, but we are trying some things to increase attendance: 1. We will publicize our Cruise Night considerably more than in past years -- tons of flyers with member assistance to distribute them many other cruise and show events, and other clubs as well 2. One cruise night for a birthday celebration party for the Mustangs 50th birthday this year. We will produce flyers to distribute for this event, ad send specific invitations to club members with specialty Mustangs who dont usually bring them out to cruise night. 3. Another charity cruise night event. We already have one in Sept for the Ricky McGregor Memorial Scholarship charity. I was thinking of a second one for the NH Food Bank; setting up as sort of a challenge event to all other local clubs to see which club can bring the most in food donations. 4. We could have another cruise night with a car/music trivia contest. There are my thoughts, and now that the planning for World of Wheels, moving our Fall show to Canobie Lake Park, and deciding on where Cruise Night will be this year, its time to get to the details for our Cruise Night events. So, any and all ideas are welcome...
