Next GTG is this Sunday, November 19th at 9am at San Ramon City Center at Bishop Ranch. However, the spot near Philz Coffee where we normally meet is temporarily occupied by an ice skating rink, so we are meeting in the southwest corner of the same parking lot, near Starbucks. The location is closer to the intersection of Bollinger Canyon Road and Sunset Drive. (Starbucks address is: 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA 94583).
Hope to see a number of you there.

are we doing the 17th @ the alternate location (Starbucks?) 8:30 - 10:30?
might want to call an audible - weather says "rain" sunday but sunny on Saturday - would be better if it wasn't raining ;-)

EDIT: I just realized that Saturday will conflict with the Farmer's Market held at Bishop Ranch. Let me scout possible alternate locations nearby else we may have to skip this Saturday.
Dave good callout on the weather. With rain in the forecast I predict low turnout and probably no interest in a drive afterward.
Proposing the following:
Saturday December 16th (INSTEAD of the usual 3rd Sunday), 9am - 10:30am at San Ramon City Center at Bishop Ranch, near the Starbucks which is inside the plaza close to the intersection of Sunset Drive and Bollinger Canyon Road ( 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA 94583).
The date for the last GT-car-focused get-together of 2023 is coming up and I am switching things up a bit.
.
Date: moving the get together to SATURDAY December 16th, instead of Sunday December 17th because the weather is forecast to be sunny on Saturday but rainy on Sunday
Time: 9am until ~10:30am
Location (CHANGED FROM WHERE WE NORMALLY MEET): Blackhawk Plaza in Danville (address: 3380 Blackhawk Plaza Cir, Danville, CA 94506) because Saturday conflicts with the San Ramon Farmer's Market held at our usual location at Bishop Ranch City Center in San Ramon. Meet at the eastern side of the Plaza, which is best accessed from Camino Tassajara
Drive: at the last get together we discussed the idea of a drive following the get-together. If people want to head out for a drive afterward that is an option.

@Itzkirb I am aware of the Saturday Farmer's Market and ice rink at City Center in San Ramon. That's why I moved this month's meeting to Blackhawk Plaza in Danville. AFAIK there is no Saturday Farmer's Market and ice rink at Blackhawk so it should not be too crowded.

Awesome seeing some great GT cars this past Saturday! Serendipitously the original owner of a Sapphire Blue 997.2 GT3 was reunited with its current owner at the get-together. Enjoy the pictures and I hope to see people for the next one on the 21st of January.
All, this Sunday, January 21st at 9am is the 1st GT-car get-together of 2024. Hope to see many of you there. As always, all cars are welcomed.
We are back to our “normal” location (City Center Bishop Ranch San Ramon, in the eastern corner of the parking lot near Philz Coffee - 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd Suite 1609, San Ramon, CA 94583).
I have heard that some people may go for a drive after the GTG, around 10:30am, to Alice’s in the Santa Cruz mountains. I am not organizing the drive, just passing the info along that people might head out toward Hwy 92 and then Hwy 35.

UPDATE: The weather forecast has turned to mostly rain on both Saturday and Sunday, so unfortunately I'll CANCEL this month's GTG as the fun factor of standing around in the rain isn't very high even with a backdrop of GT cars.
