On February 14, 1999 a meeting was held at BERT’s Restaurant in Mechanicsville, MD with (6) local old car enthusiast to talk about forming a new Rod & Custom car club in Southern MD.  These (6) people:  Bob Dick, Roger Hamilton, Clyde Hamilton, Steve Padgett, Alice and Joe Wood, along with Carol Dick, Dee Hamilton, and Pete Small, began the meeting at 7:15 pm and discussed several issues concerning the new club.

First on the agenda was a name for the club.  It was decided the name of the new club would be TRI-COUNTY CRUISERS Rod & Custom Car Club.  Then the club needed a logo.  Steve Padgett made up several samples and a logo was decided on using the club name and 2 CARS:  A Street Rod and a Custom.  Other items that needed attention were as follows:

  • Dues – 1st year sign-up $25.00 then $20.00 per year thereafter.
  • There will be only full-fledged members, this means all new members will pay the above mentioned dues no discount for significant others.
  • All yearly dues must be paid by the January meeting in order to vote in the elections.
  • It was decided that the club would put a cap on membership, to cut-off would be 40 members.
