    I agree on formal introductions (prolly twice like Mark says). This cruise was a cruise/rolling shots event so that likely added some complexity. I think we should have a set of ideas for either or cruise or a rolling shot/cruise, as one would be easier/different than the other as far as manageability. Certainly smaller groups, right turns only would help people keep up in general.

    Someone smarter than me can help with that when the time comes. For instance, for a rolling shot event we might want to circle back and redo the same part of the road several times to get all the cars in. You wouldn't have to do that with just a cruise. You might even want those as separate events. Just thinking out loud on the keyboard.

    My .02-- formal intros are ok, but I think improving the name tags are a better option. If anyone is like me, by the time we get done introducing person #30, I've already forgotten the names of people #1-25.

    Five minutes after the intros are done, I'd still be looking for name tags.

    I love the name tags ideas sadly I could not make it this year but I have heard many great things.

    I do also agree that just from hearing what people have said that we need to do something to lessen the burden on people such as Dane and his family, the boss man and Keith. Personally I wish I could do more but sadly I am in Florida so since I am a good distance from Virginia I would be glad to help with anything else I can as far as future meets.

    One Idea I just though of and some people up north might like. I know many people here have children and it would be a longer drive but maybe we can put together some sort or Disney meet? After all we are a family and I bet the children in out little family would love it.

    This is clearly a growing family that gets better with each new member so lets do what we can to make sure the family reunions keep growing and getting better as well.

    Just thinking out loud here..............how about Laynards, with screen name and real? I have a local guy that does all of our BMW stuff for driving schools, autocross etc. Maybe ZHP Mafia SigFest with our names?

    I like the lanyard idea. But for someone like me, I can recognize someones avatar almost instantly. A name without an avatar will take me longer to adjust to and identify with. Unless that person doesn't use an avatar. Food for thought.

    Larger names would be good. The intro session sounds cool but impractical.

    I'll just rock a shirt with a big bio hazard symbol on it for everyone.

    Avatar name tags is a great idea.

    Everyone already knows static as the guy with mad delicious treats. But I guess the biohazard symbol is a close second.

    Cruises: we had some bad butt mother effers in our mini clubs who would (no matter how many cars in the queue) run lead and caboose. They'd block intersections until everyone got through. For minis, people found this cute, adorable even. For bmws, we'd probably get loaded baby diapers thrown at us. For me, the cruise was fun, as it was splendid to be chauffeured. I'm not a gargantuan fan of driving 6 hours only to drive some more, especially if it's not on a track. But that's just me. The rolling shots were amazing, and I can't wait to spend copious dollars on them.

    Name tags - some other mini clubs had major lanyards and printed name tags. It was all quite official and definitely helpful for noob toobs. I know it's not going to be cost-possible, but what about shirts with names on the front?

    But seriously, these are details. How do you improve the event? Not sure. The event is about the hanging out, making connections, talking about silver cubes, appreciating some mutual respect. To me the structure and such are secondary details.

    Will remember larger name tags for October's Columbus Day weekend gathering. Artsy-craftsy, I'm not, so if someone wants to try something more ambitious please feel free to do so.
