Hi
I too need to come along and say hi
I used to meet at the sherbrooke with the tvr car club and we found parking was limited, They also hold lots of venue's, wedding ect even through out the week. A lovely place non the less but not ideal for large numbers with cars as we found out.
Cheers Scotty
thanks for the knowledge input. I too need to come along and say hi

I was thinking of the place at the Raith for an evening meeting, but Duck bay for a summer evening sounds a great idea
Further input appreciated
PS whats the issue with 406 coupes? Beautiful car!
I don't attend the meetings as they clash with a work meeting that usually runs on, so I don't expect my comments to be taken fully. Having said that, I think moving it to Duck Bay isn't going to help anyone? If it is for West Coast meetings, I'm sure there are more people around the Glasgow area? I Duck Bay handy for anyone? Great place in the summer but everyone, and I mean everyone, will have to drive. This will lead to you hardcore guys just moving your meeting around the country. If you want to attract more people, I don't think that will help?
If the Dakota is dear for drinks, what about somewhere like the bowling alley at the Showcase in Coatbridge? You don't have to go bowling, you can buy a burger and a drink while sitting at the window?
BTW, can all delete any reference to the Scottish Ace Cafe style venue as it is my retirement plan.

It'll be handy for me in just over a weeks time that didn't contribute to the idea or anything, i think the point though of the summer monthly meets is for everyone to drive, get all the cars out in a good safe location where can have food or drink etc. duck bay ticks all the boxes. and Tony, that's my good idea for 2012 If the Dakota is dear for drinks, what about somewhere like the bowling alley at the Showcase in Coatbridge?

Quite so.John.
It's also very handy for me and 'cos I know it well, I would be aware of any shortfalls with the location.
I don’t think it’s seriously being considered anyway, but for reference I find the Sherbrooke awful for car meets (Porsche Club GB’s Glasgow meetings are there). The exit ramp is too steep and has a sharp join to the road at the bottom—anyone with low front splitters etc will scrape them on the tarmac.
Take a look next time you drive past—there’s paint of all colours scraped off along the road!

It's about a mile through Mearns Cross A77 heading Southbound and 1/2 mile off M77 junction Northbound on A77
Cheers, will have a drive past to scope it out. Not explored Mearns much, but have lived here for nearly 2years lol so thought I would have heard of it before now.EvilZ said:

Edited: I just noticed that this has already been mentioned
I've never been inside, but been past a few times before as there is a hand car wash operating next door. Loads of suitable parking, and given the local area, the clientele should be ok.
Another option that has good parking, a beer garden, and a pretty good reputation is The Osprey (just off Junction 4 of M77).

I'd be more than happy to meet up for a drink/ food at either. Both look to have a good selection of food at very reasonable prices too.

What about carbeth inn out past milngavie?
Usually lots of bike meets go there and park out front but there is lovely new car park for cars.
Not too far but still options of a hoon!
That's a good option too, do we need to take a consensus?Usually lots of bike meets go there and park out front but there is lovely new car park for cars.

If it helps my first choice woud be duck bay, food, drink, good car park, good drive to get there and an awesome setting, how many more boxes can it tick
