Museums are OK but don't limit them to cars n motorbikes.. In my opinion, country parks with water, boats, cafés, play areas, rides etc are the ideal meeting places.. 
I have also found that at large meetings, people break up into small groups and it becomes very difficult to find specific people you may want to meet and talk with...

Hi James
At the risk of being selfish (as it's just down the road from me!!) this venue has a nice combination of an award winning Country Park (which I take my collie to at least 4 times each week):

plus at the same location a transport museum with bus collection and heritage railway (steam occasionally):

I can make enquiries if you wish, I know they do club visits
