As announced in the August edition of your favorite MG publication DRIVELINE, we will visit places that you, the members, nominate. And we're glad to have received several suggestions that meet the most important criteria: ample free parking, within 1 mile of an Interstate off-ramp, private or semi private area for our club, reasonable prices and menu selection, and a low noise level. The first search-night was November 13, when about 25 members came to Roundhead's in Downers Grove. Everything was really good and it may become a strong candidate in the contest. But more is coming! If Downers Grove was too far South, because you live too far North, December is going to be your chance because we'll be at Stadium Sports Club in Rolling Meadows. And, you can't get any closer to an Expressway because Stadium is right across the South bound Algonquin Road off-ramp from 53/355. We'll have the so-called Alcove area in the restaurant section and can hang out in the bar later in the evening. Stadium has a full menu with sandwiches and pizza and we saw pasta entrees that could easily serve a lunch-for-two from the leftovers.

So, here is the plan for Tuesday December 11. We have our area from 7:00 PM onwards. The reservation is under MG Club and they know that we don't all come at the same time and that we need separate checks. Come on out to try the second location of the contest and help to pick the future place for our Natter 'n' Noggin.

Note that Stadium has another location in Des Plaines, but we'll be in Rolling Meadows.
