These are the most informal but so worthwhile evenings, they have an ultra relaxed format under shelter (if raining) currently at McDonald's Geelong Bypass Northbound (55-95 Kulina Drive Loverly Banks Vic 3221).  

7:30 pm is the start time and the venue caters for those who may wish to get a coffee / drink or food.  

Cars (usually BMWs) are always a good place to start conversations but many other topics of interest from local matters to world events evolve so everyone will feel included.  These gatherings have a feel of welcoming all and are great ways of asking about cars in all aspects and getting good advice.  You may also be the one who knows something and assists another club member over an issue they may be having difficulties with.  The venue and gathering make possible communication not available on day ventures while driving. 

  

No pressure to stay all night, members become friends at these gathering which is a major bonus, people come and go to suit their needs.

These gatherings are how club camaraderie, or Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl, is generated.
