I chose other cuz im one of the few that are WAY up north from the rest of you guys. Maybe somewhere more north would work better for the northerners :P

while Langley can be quite a drive, I would agree with the good Mr Oswald on this.  Mostly a middle ground.

Maybe this might work?

One meet in Langley, one meet farther east, next in Langley, then one farther west?

Eg, Meet at 264th Exit, bs for a bit, go for a drive north of the hiway, some great twisty roads, head back west on the back roads, make our way back to the Collussus on 200th, have eats at Spaghetti Factory.

Next meet, Abbotsford, for a drive and maybe fix cars at a local members place?

Next meet, Langley again, maybe in a parking lot in Langley City, the old part, take some pictures, have some eats, do a cruise when the sun starts to go down.

Next meet, somewhere in PoCo, meet at the Ikea parking lot?  I don't know that area, so I'd leave that up to others.

We could also do the Fort Langley thing, very nice area, good food, and great pictures.

We could also do the Albion Ferry from Fort Langely, then hit the AWESOME twisty back roads behind Mission, GREAT Stuff over there, then food at Mission Springs Pub.

Moving the meets around is a good idea. Each one would be a slightly different experience. I think this would also encourage a different mix of people to come out.

Yeah, move 'em around.  Having every meet in Langley is going to end up being too far for Vancouver guys and too far for valley guys.  If you're doing 'em every week then shake it up a bit on a rotation.  Vancouver, Chilliwack, Poco, Abbotsford, Langley, Mission, etc

Get a regular rotation going and schedule it up in advance with dates that don't move around and it should get a good turn out. 

Maybe rotate days too.  Saturdays, Sundays, the occasional weeknight at the coffee shop or whatever.

Every SECOND meet!  Thats the central point.  One meet west of it, one meet at Langley area, next meet east of it, then back to the Langley area.

It's way out of almost every other members way. Just to come up here for like 3-5 members I doubt many would be interested.
