Finding a good place to have VW catch up in Sydney

Hi Everyone, I am hoping some of the Sydney guys might weigh in on this one, I am trying to find a good place to hold a once a month VW catch up. I have recently moved back to Sydney after living in Adelaide for the last seven years and my knowledge of Sydney is not what it used to be and there have been a lot of changes while i was away. While in Adelaide I started a night called "ParkPlatz" which is German for "Car Park", we would meet up the first Saturday of every month at a car park in the centre of Adelaide. It had across the road a 24hr servo and subway and it was just an outside car park. We would start arriving from 7pm and stay until the last people would call it quits (2am would not be uncommon). It is a great night and brought a lot of VW people together and it is still running today. So I am looking for suggestions for a sight here in Sydney, so we could try doing the same thing here that is if you guys are interested. The sight ideally would be convenient for people from all over Sydney to attend, be well lit, be somewhere where you could get a bit to eat or a coffee or snacks without having to drive away to get them, and of course be somewhere that can accommodate a group of VW's parking up together. The whole idea for this event is to bring VW people out and meet up on a regular basis, All are welcome, it’s not a club event, it’s not governed by politics, it’s just VW people enjoying VW's. In Adelaide this night brought out people who had dropped of the club seen for whatever reason, it had new VW people mixing with old VW people, it prompted a lot of new VW inspired help on projects between people who attended and it also started of a fair bit of car park boot sales of VW bit and pieces between people who meet at these events. It has become a really good little event in Adelaide, so i am hoping we might be able to do the same thing here in Sydney. Any suggestions on sites and locations are welcome, I’ll have a drive around at anything suggested, once I can find a place that fits the bill, we can set a start date and see what happens. Anyway, I hope some of you think this might be a worthwhile thing to try and I hope to hear from some of you. Cheers, Finn
