AB - what's the chance of a count down clock as a sticky or permanently in the banner for the forum meetup?? Something like the Nissan 4WD Drive club of Queensland have on their site for the next club meeting?

Food for thought??

Too right! Like a constant reminder to everyone ... and something that new comers may see and be curious about - hence questions, hence banter, and hence more attendees!!!
