we have just appointed an Area Organiser for Scotland, so hopefully there will be a meet set up and maybe some events north of the border.
That's good news but arranging meetings in Scotland is not easy - I should know I tried to do it for the Caledonian Centre of the MG Car Club for a number of years. They have nearly 400 members north of the border, but even so, events generally only attract 10 - 20 cars, and evening pub meets just didn't work. We tried to set them up in various locations like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Aberdeen, but the only person that turned up was the local committee member who organised it. I think one of the problems is that distances in Scotland are so great and the membership is very scattered.
I guess the Dolomite club has nothing like that number of members in Scotland, and they will be all over the place like the MGCC members are. Nobody wants a 2 hour drive to attend a pub meet, although they might for a day's event. I'll watch what happens with interest. I wish the Scottish Organiser every success.
