Be prepared for splits. Tractor lads whose nose us out of joint cause the car and bike lads won't wait on runs etc. It's hard to keep the peace. Have a "Mission Statement" and draw up a charter from the word go. Have a dispute resolution process outlined and ready to go.
Sorry if that sounds terribly negative, but you'll have lots of fun times as well.

We just meet in a house for the meetings and the tractor runs are done from the FILs yard (after a bit of a tidy up)

Local club meet in a Pub/Restaurant.
Free meeting room provided in exchange for the hope of selling a few pints.
I know that Longford Vintage Club have rented a premises in the old Army Barracks in the town centre.

Reggie.

A house would do ya fine as you'd be surprised how few members will show for a meeting
