I didn't know any of the people on the board before we started planning the June meet. I'd expect small/localized boards to be cliquey, especially in the beginning. But the boards and our cars brought us together. But like Jake said, anyone can come hang out and meet everyone, you just have to keep your eyes out for chances. Hell, I just met a few members for the first time last night.
but it seems like most of the n00bs that are joining right now live half way across the state or farther. :dunno:
