Upcoming Meetings

[scooters reef]

No clue if we'll be able to afford it by then, but I still hope to finish my basement and host a combo FVRC/Packer Game party. Hopefully we will by this Fall. Once we get it finished, I'll be sure to schedule it for an away game so Jon can make it

With Connie's income finally starting to pick up after a year unemployed, we have our fingers crossed!

when is the drs foster and smith frag swap for the june meeting

[MSU Fan]

[Lishoop6]

is there a car pool going on

[Limpit]

Is there going to be a meeting during the F&S thing?
Just wondering what time and day so I can plan for it.

[jmkarcz]

With Rhodescholar out for august, I submit that we all meet on Auguat 26th, sunday at a park that is easy to find, like Bay Beach or Pamprin, with a cooler full of our own drinkables and grillables. Some could bring grills and the kids could play. We could talk fish and relax.

This is only an idea to get it rolling. if anyone will second it, or make another suggestion as to a better, or locationaly more compatible park that is EASY to find, please speak up.

OR if you have a plan... lets hear it now. Lets have something ironed out by the first of Aug.

This way no one has to have it at their place if they don't want... and the weather is favorable for only a few months a year, lets take advantage.

OR, speak up.

I think that a park is a good idea, Jason. However, I would prefer it to be the weekend before that just because we are going to be out of town that weekend.

[jmkarcz]

ok... I don't see any issues withthat... yet... but someone else will chime in shortly...

Does any one have a problem with the plan, (not the time, we can vote on that later... it could be even saturday for what it's worth... )

Jason

Mako said he would be willing to move his meeting from September to August if need be but we need to tell him now.

[jmkarcz]

I dont know... this might be a good ritual event to set during the summer, at least one meeting not at someone's house.... I think we should do it every 6 months... in the winter, we should all go somewhere with a nice fire and be cozy warm and talk tropical

It's his call. I felt that thi was an oppertunity for our all "unofficial club to act and decide something" rather that let today turn into tomorrow... then next week then complain because nothing got done... you know, we've discussed this before.

If I had not had a last minute oppertunity to take the kid to Disney, I'd have been at Jons.

[hobbzz]

^ Actually I think Mike said he'd be willing to do both.

[Lishoop6]

well for not having a meeting at someones house I think I saw how well that worked out in March

[customcolor]

im in favor in the good weather out door meating and sat's are better then sundays for us (my wife works 3rds on sun) or we would just show up just for a short time. we do like baybeach idea. its ben a wile since we have ben there.

[jmkarcz]

For those of you that have been negative, now post a helpful comment.

ahem.....


Seriously, I have no problem with mike.. he's got this really cool red car... and an awesome house. I was just trying to throw something out there fast and hopefully agreeable for everyone...

I would really like someone to grab it or toss out a winning idea. It's tuesday already... and this is how nothing ever gets done...

I will proly work till 4pm most saturdays for the rest of the summer but I will gladly come there after.

JK

[mako56]

Wow lots of discussion here thats what I like about this club everyone is so agreeable. Hey Jason you never know I might have Customcolor paint my car red, but then it will be black I imagine. I'm up for anything, I will have to see when the sweet corn will be ready. If anyone wanted theres lots of room to set up tents or campers you could make a weekend out of it if anyone wanted too. Oh ya I got two fire pits, horse shoe pits, volley ball net and ball, and a fishing pool. The kid just hooked up a 57 inch wide screen in the garage when do the Packers start playing. And then theres the park very cool idea too would be more central for everyone and probably more fun for the kids. Hows that Jason?

[Lishoop6]

That sounds very good Mike I think I may just have to drop by and maybe camp over if it works out in my schedule. By the way props on the fishing pool.

[MSU Fan]

Doors are always open here from 8:00am to 8:00pm and is located by the water tower at the north end of Seymour off Bronsen Rd. If you want to stop by and have me be there when you come please send me a PM

[Limpit]

Daddavis1,
Little confused by your post and looked on the forum for maybe another post explaining what's going on. Is this a meeting to sell this system off or something else? I take it that this setup is somewhere else than your home, correct?
More info please

[daddavis1]

Not looking at selling really, just posting some things that people may opt to trade for.

And yes this is not in my home. It's located in the Meadow Wood portion of the Good Shepherd Services complex in Seymour. This is down Bronson Rd. by the Water Tower. The street is across from the north end of the Outagamie County Fair Grounds.

Its always open from 9:00am to 8:00pm if you want to stop by and check stuff out.

PM me if you want something reserved most everything in the system is of fragable size. I can have things ready to take on the day of the meeting with about a weeks notice.

There is a fat fox face needing more elbow room for those of you with bigger systems. PM me if you can find a decent home for it.

I realize I don't have the dates mentioned above. But the 10th and the 11th work well for me. 6:00pm-8:00pm should be the time on either day.

Jason has talked me out of fragging the monster green galaxia. Sorry,

Dan
