Default how to start a new rs/car group???

Ive just moved to a little town in scotland and after having a scout about for a day or three find there is quite afew cars but no local club.

just wanted a bit of info bout what would be entailed in starting a club up.

Is there anything i need to do??? or do i just try to arrange a meet and take it from there??

anyone got any advice???

thanks peeps!!!

The Central and East Scotland Group of the RSOC will be having their monthly meet at the Bo'ness Transport Museum, Falkirk from the first Friday in March.
Only about 60 miles or so from you.

nah he bought the saph from my mate. Gary and Brian are good mates as well. That saph has been about. another mate of mine bought it out the trader couple of years back, drove over a huge boulder and wrecked the underside, flattened the exhaust, smashed the sump etc. its had 3 owners since then.. went like a train. really annoy's my mate cos my silver 1 was faster..
