COPIED FROM THE SCRC FORUM(wasn't me at the meeting)
Alright folks here's the scoop on a Bike Night here in Lexington Park.
I went to Lone Star tonight on a business meeting and mentioned to the General Manager what I'd like to do... After explaining what I'd like to see and explaining it would be nice to be able to have a beer in the parking lot, girls serving beer etc I was told the following:
This is private property.. you can drink in the parking lot as long as folks don't violate that rule. (Outback was inside only because it's in a shopping center)
I said having some beer tubs set up is a good idea and they are willing to sponsor that as well.
They are also willing to provide power for music in the parking lot and will block off an area as needed. (I'll work the music thing.... although maybe not the first few nights)
After about an hour of drinking during my business meeting (it actually was a business meeting) the General Manager came back and said she had talked to two local radio stations and they will advertise.. (98.3 & 102.9 apparently she knows T-Bone & Heather because she talked with them).
She also talked to Foot Locker and they allowed for any overflow parking as needed as well as a couple of businesses near by in the back. She also said she called Evolution Cycles, a friend that owns All-American & Ft. Washington Harley and they will support as well. (Her and her husband ride as well)
By the time I was ready to leave she had called Guy Distributors and also offered up to get the Miller High Lite girls and do whatever else she can to make it a success. I said one small step at a time and let it flow to see how things go. They will be making a Bike Night Banner as well for advertising. They're also up for bike shows etc.
Moving really fast here but we decided to start on Wednesday 13 July 2005. TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!!
This is a start so lets show our interest and build this into a weekly event worth going to.
Time runs from 05:00pm - 10:00pm so lets make a showing and pass this on to anyone you know. They even offered up some free appetizers to get things going.. we'll see how that goes. I'll make some flyers and pass them out at the local Bike Shops as well.
Lets get this thing going and make it a regular weekly event. I'll also make some flyers and put the word/flyers out to SM City & Jaggs Cycles.
