Yeah, that's be great...

then maybe if this works out, in a few years, we could try for a larger meeting where we just have ONE meeting and EVERYONE comes...

what would the prizes be for? like what kind of contest or whatever would we have to do to win them?

I think it would be cool to like make up a big banner or sign, when the members from each region meet up. LIke we would have "SG Michigan/Ohio 1st National Meet" like we could make up stickers, and signs, and custom shirts.

Then "SG Canada", "SG California", and so on.

if the graphics guys could make up some graphics for stickers, that would be cool, then we could put then on our car, so when we meet up for the first time, we will know what cars to look for!

Ken,

It would be a great idea, why it hasn't happened before now is beyond me!
We are going to shoot for Jan/Feb 2002 im Michigan, after we see what kind of turnout we have will determine the next meet.

MG, beer prizes are good! ;)

Mike, You're never going to live down the "Fairy Wings"! :D
