I'm a member of a local sports club; in the course of the inevitable navel gazing/fundraising discussion that crops up at the bar after too many pints have been consumed a possibly stupid idea coalesced in my booze addled cranium. We have a clubhouse and a carpark with space for maybe 20-25 cars, a licensed bar and a kitchen. Given we are in a relatively scenic part of Scotland about 1 hrs drive from Glasgow is this potentially something that might be an attractive destination for car clubs/PH run out/whatever?

By Loch Lomond or somewhere in the other direction?

Well I didn't look that far into it but I take it you're essentially around that area. I was going to suggest it's prime ground for car meets heading on a decent drive from Glasgow. We did Duck Bay last time with a drive down the old military road. Was quite good fun so I could certainly see there being a demand of some sort.

Sounds good to me.
The facility there would be very amenable to the good driving roads in the area.

A bit further west; we're here. On a sunny day it's reet nice.

I know your area really well and would be an excellent place for meets/lunch stops.

The A817 roller-coaster is on the way smile

Now the weather is warming up are there any clubs/groups with an interest in having a meet? What would you want/like/need for a decent run out?

Sensible like-minded drivers with nothing to prove.
