—Menuda reunión de viejas glorias —apunta con socarronería—. Creo firmemente que ha llegado el momento de ir recogiendo fondos para montar La Casa del Mod.
This comes from a conversation that takes place at a scooterist rally in Valencia. The interlocutors have been saying that these rallies are like the elephant´s graveyard of the Mods. Time to start collecting funds to support them, as if they were veterans. I know what the above means, I think, but I can´t think of what we say in UK Eng! Thanks for your help in advance.

haven is a good word for a literary text, like a cave where all of this old glorified rockers can go and stir a late drink

The Mod Squad
I reckon this has a good ring to it, and certainly sounds familiar.
Hope this helps

Mod's Place
How about "Mod's Place"? I understand it as if it were "La Casa del Cazador" or, "La Casa del Vino"... you know what I mean? As if it they were fundraising to found an institution or association called "Mod's Place".
It may help... hope so!
