Best guidlines for setting up a regular meet be it weekly, monthy etc

1, Find venue and GET permission from either council/security or landlord etc in advance never just turn up without giving notice that way it will avoid any unwanted surprises, try and find one with a food or drink rather than just a car park as the novelty wears off when the 2nd meet happens and folk want refreshments
2, pick a day that does not clash with shows or other local meets if any
3, advertise it and keep plugging away at it as the more you put into a meet the better it will be respected and attended
