Greenteg,
I admire people who don't give up.
I offered this to your predecessor. I'm not leaving you out, buddy.-Bob

General principles of keeping a meet going.
Based on an observation of meets that come and go
and discussions at a lot of the meets which I go to..............
If a person expects people to come out to a recurring weekly meet,
the meet organizer/sponsor needs to keep the thread active.
One way to keep a thread active is by posting every week, so people
know that at least the organizer/an associate/sponsor supports the meet and
will be there. When an organizer doesn't show, people don't show.
A second way to keep a thread active is by posting up pictures of people
and/or cars every week as a way of showing that the meet is still active.
If a meet happens every other week, someone needs to post
during the meeting week so people know if the meet is on or off.
When people show up a couple times and it is on the non-meet night, their
perception is that the meeting is no longer being held.....and they won't be back
until they see another posting from someone running the meet.
Examples of what I'm talking about are available only in face to face conversation.
See you at the meets and keep checking the first couple pages of TR Local Events.-Bob
