Or how about we have a vote on it... I'll cross post it in all the west coast chapters since I'm a staff member and I have permission to do so.

Lets let this thread stay for a day or so... Let people come up with names, and when we get a good idea of names, we'll vote. Sound good?

I truly think that if we want the funding and sponsorship with potential to grow larger, the BAIC makes it sound like a local meet. Trying to get national recognition with a local name is going to be tough. We get the people but not the sponsors. We need the sponsors, recognition. Wicked big was Drive Magazine this month. Ours is larger. why weren't we in there? See what I mean?

When I read "clutch" I thought of a small women's handbag.

Or how about we just remove any sense of geographical direction out of the name and just keep it really simple and call it

AIM "Annual I-Club Meet", or the Annual I-Club Meet", held in the San Francisco Bay Area, blah blah blah... And Call it "AIM I'm sure our graphic designers could have some fun with that acronym.

Woman's hand bag? I'm worried, that's borderline

Actually I just checked and a womans handbag did not show for any definition for clutch

First item on google searchhttp://popular.ebay.com/ns/Clothing-Shoes-Accessories/Clutch+Purse.html

Technically it's a small purse, not a "handbag" as I wrote before.

Also, since there is already a "West Coast Subaru Show" i would suggest avoiding starting with West Coast in the title of your event.

Ah I read further a "clutch bag" yet still the use of clutch here is the bring together many into one unit. See?

I corrected myself, and I agree with avoidance.

Yes, technically accurate use, but archaic at best. We run into this issue with writing headlines all the time. It may MEAN something... but if people have to think about it too much, it's not a good choice. I think the only common use for the definition you are using is referring to certain groups of certain species of animals.
