John,
This forum is dealing with general car chat and going to car meets is related
to cars and part of the car culture.

Private message?
More like giving encouragement and credit where credit is due.
It takes a lot of work to put on a meet and car show combined.
I mentioned the name of the organizer so that people who read this will know the person
who was in charge, since most of the meets that I go to require more work than people realize and people deserve credit for the hard work which they do.

I see too many people who are criticising and complaining all the time
about something, and they NEVER tell you they had a good time at anything.
You can tell by the number of views that there are a number of people who have read this post and my imagination says that some of them are among the complainers.

For people who don't go to meets, my post publicises one that I went to
that was mentioned in TR's Local Events, as a way of encouraging more people to
get involved in the fun of our hobby/sport.

For someone who has not yet put on a meet or car show, it gives them a few
ideas/tips/pointers of some things that a well run meet had, as far as organization, and
some of those ideas may be useful when they, themselves decide to organize a meet.

It was a busy weekend for all of us and I missed seeing you there John.
The food was great.-Bob
