I speak for myself only, but the purpose of a meeting like this is to get together part of a community of people who have had some interaction on these forums. Having new members join specifically for the purpose of joining a meeting, even if they are long term lurkers and know the ethos and some of the history of the place, might at best mean that the event becomes more difficult to organise or find a suitable venue, and at worst result in inappropriate behaviour that prevents future events or gets people hurt.Notches on your keyboard or something?

There is a tradition on this forum for older members - like me - to point out or comment when we see new posters. Hopefully this tradition will continue. Some people also comment on another's post count or months as a member if it is high but that's a side note.
As HughG has mentioned it kind of adds validity to the popularity of the topic if it has added a new poster. That's if your glass is half full like mine. This topic has added 3 new posters to the PH community. I think that's Big and therefore I will comment about it just so people are aware if they missed it. It also helps get my post count up too - that's a joke - in case you missed it
I didn't think this meet up would be this popular when I suggested it to the OP but I am really pleased it is and I hope its as good on the day with everyone being nice and friendly and sharing their obsession for these unloved - no wait - for these well loved Porsches.
The date is: Saturday the 24th June - 9AM - 12PM
Having spoken to Caffeine and Machine they are happy to accommodate us in "The Yard".
Looking forward to meeting you all in person!

Done as a separate post to avoid confusion.
We've just done a great meet courtesy of Nurburghsingh on here at Cotswold Barn (just down the road from Caffine & Machine) - we had free parking for nearly 60 of us in the field (parking there for the 'meet of the day', other people who want to go have a separate bit of parking).
Nearly everyone I spoke to today made comments saying it was better than Caffine & Machine (service, notably), and we didn't have to pay to park.

They seem to have availability on the 24th too.
Of course you've been good enough to organise Poppopbangbang, so I won't be offended if you tell me to do one
