I've been letting ya'll discuss and monitoring the posts.
Can't answer all the idea's, but here is what I picked up.
* All want to somehow be included in rides/etc..
* Want the door to swing both ways. (Not just new guys asking to be included)
(Old Guys need to express interest in new folks riding along).
* We need to develop a way to encourage participation from both sides of the door.
Group/Led rides, ride drawings, New rider meet-up location, ways for folks to meet.
* We need a way to get the word out better.
* More that I didn't type.
I'll start with, most of what you posted,,,,
has been tried.
It made things better, but didn't accomplish what we wanted.
We need to do better in Kerrville!
We have a big Hurdle.
COG has not allowed Group Rides because of our insurance. So,,,
COG did not do group rides. {Being Inventive} Some of us posted info that we were leaving to go XXX at a certain time.

"and" If anyone just happened to be going to the same place, they were welcome to join us...
As COGgers, We can do that again, and maybe, {just maybe},,, we can find a way around the insurance problem.NOTE:
I'm not part of the rally Team, and I don't have any authority to decide anything.. So, I can't promise anything, but I'm willing to try to arrange some things.
It might be possible; to arrange a First Timer / Orientation meeting on Monday of the Rally.
to arrange a sign up Board.
{Individual groups could post where they intend to ride on a given day, and allow folks to join in}
to arrange a daily meeting point where folks can get to know others.
{For instance; Parking lot, my bike, at 6:00 PM) {or Rev's room, & he's buying) <sneaky grin>
I assume, COG can give First Timers a Red Tag on their Name Plate again.
post signs encouraging Old timers to include the new Folks in their plans..
Keep the discussion going..
Reply to my thought's.
