Bob's got a point. We've got 531 members and only 3 showed up in the EVENING. How many of us are working at 7:30?
Now in my defense, 3 hours advance warning is crap (aka Koll... couldn't help myself). I had already planned to go out and eat and when I read this message it was already 7:30 and I was on my way over to meet my friend at the Tiger's Tail. Had I had a phone call, text message, or better warning I would have changed my plans.
Still, 531 members and 3 show up. That's pathetic .
Not all of those 531 members check these boards 24/7, or even once a day. Some of them haven't ever checked the boards since the day after the joined. Still others do work, as I'm betting the mean age is pretty low (late teens early 20s) where they are in school and take night jobs (I realize it's summer, but that doesn't mean they automatically switch to days). Still others are in classes (like myself) and have things due.

There are some people who an hour notice is enough...I'm betting for the majority, and less than half a day's notice won't work.

On top of that, not everyone can afford to drive to Bridgewater...this isn't a central jersey site. Add to that this little meeting wasn't the only meeting last night (some people went to other car shows and the like).

My point? Your 531 members just went down to maybe 25 or so who possibly would or could have attended if given more notice.
