If we went out to Skyline we'd have to stay pretty well within the limits.

Agreed. The last group drive I went on was with my WRX club. Although there was no trouble with the law, some members got out of hand as far as speeds and driving went. I actually even got passed on a turn by the event organizer
. That kind of turned me off, and then I saw a post from the Porsche club where one member got killed on a group drive because of such jackassery. I'm not into violating the posted speeds, pushing my car to its limits on public roads, or potentially wrecking my daily driver. I'd rather do that legally and learn what my car can do on a track, which is a controlled environment. God forbid I do mess up and wreck, at least there is medical staff nearby and hitting a wall of tires is always much less damaging than slamming into a tree.
However, I would be for taking a scenic group drive up to Skyline to enjoy the scenery and camaraderie of fellow Z enthusiasts. I think that's controllable if you know the people and/or can keep the group relatively small. I think you're kind of laying the ground work by having the first few meets to allow the members to get to know each other. I'm not sure how you'd enforce the policy if someone starts driving crazy though.
