I think if Borneman does do Green Bay we will have more flow over from the FVRC. I know a group from Minnesota were going to come last time.
Shnikered up? Now you've got my attention :-)

Bringing in Borneman would be great! I'd def. attend any of the speakers coming in. Hopefully something can be worked out.

daddavis1, mako56...

We are trying to keep the "club" informal. There is no signing up or anything official.

The March Meeting is in the works to be held at Coral Boy Farms in Kewaunee. No dates set in stone yet.

I have National Guard Drill dates that may keep me from attending depending on when the meetings are scheduled. I would be willing to host a meeting in April. Will let you know the dates later.

Digger,

Would you host the meeting at your place or at the nursing home?

I was told you donated those 92's ~ that's a pretty nice thing you are doing there!

Do you have any pics?

Glad to see you on RC,
~Spike

The Time is donated and some expenses. My wife wouldn't tollerate that kind of handout. Pictures?? I hear we have some photographers in the group. Bring cameras. What time of day is good to meet. The place can easily hold everyone. I can have coffee ready

Well I just didn't know z28cam informal is very cool with me I am not really into the the whole formal meeting thing and informal was the way I was hoping it was going to be but just had to ask. I was asked by a friend of my youngest son if I wanted to check out the guy in Kewaunee before he was into selling stuff I can't believe after seeing your pics from there that I never went I guess I just wasn't sure about barging in on him. Can't wait to finally see it. If the big tank thing works out for me this summer it will be very nice to have a supplier this close.

You should start another thread, you might get more help rather then using this one.

I think it'd help if we had some stickers and a sharpie at each meeting to make it easier to find people you haven't met yet at the meetings.

I think that's a good idea and will bring some from work to the next meeting in Seymour.

I did log down most of the names and coresponding RC user names of those who attended todays meeting at CBF.

I will post that in the CBF March meeting thread.

I just heard about the group and you can count me in too. I was thinking a year ago that we really should have a local group. I'm glad someone organized one.
