Subpilot how much Pom Pom you have and what else U got? I really do not expect people to come up here. Driving down the hill a lot better than going to LA or the Valley. Couple of reefers up here. I met a reefer by the name of Tracy Gray at Steven Tyrees place today. He lives up here. Really cool guy. He has some nice SPS, Really Nice. Got my "Original Purple Monster from Tyree and some other "Limited Editions" When ready I'll have some nice stuff available. I have alot of Zoo's. Within the next month or two I should have a lot more SPS. All I have are personal rare frags for now.

Very interested in Inland Empire Reefers! Live in Riverside and actually offered to have a frag swap at our home in the thread "Next Encino Frag Swap" and it caused a bit of problems as most So. CA reefers preferred to have it in Encino. Count me in for the club! What's the next step?

SoCareef, I was hoping you were gonna host. Someone posted that you were not ready though. I started the thread in hopes of getting something out here going. I think people were not willing to make the trek to our neck of the woods, so they made a big deal about trying "rock the boat" or "mess up a good thing". Dave's is awesome. He's been a blessing to all of us by opening his home. Now it would be nice if others would too. I would love to host one, but really, How many would drive up to "Victorville"? Lets get this going!

I also posted this in another thread somewhere and thought it might be better here. So if it sounds familar thats because it is.
.................................................................................................
I'm all for it.
I think the clubs out west are great. Just not practical or convenient to participate on a regular basis... such as monthly meetings due to the time required to drive. Without active participation there really is no point in becoming a member.
Does anyone have experience in the operations of these clubs? And is it being suggested that this be a formal club, or just a bunch of reefer fanatics. If it's formal is there a club that we just become a chapter of? This would be much easier as the bylaws and such would already be in place. The problem with informality is that without these "rules" groups just tend to fade away due to the lack of direction.
Count me in, FWIW. I will commit some time to this and we will need others also to do the same.
If we just want to get together once in a while for swapping corals & BS, that's ok to.
I live in Grand Terrace (which is between Riverside and San Bernardino off the 91/215) and my house is open for a get together before years end if some would like to meet a discuss the formation. For those in the High Desert I think we need to find how many of you there are. If substantial, maybe things will need to be moved around to keep your side of the mountain active. But then those of you that live up there are kinda use to long drives.
So to make a short story long... we need a group of dedicated people to make this work long term.

Can't say I have the experience, but I would sure love to help out in any way. Steve, Do you think just a couple of informal meetings like swapping & hanging out can be a starting point? I do. As the meetings pick up momentum we can decide on all the details? Im sure people up here do not mind driving down the hill as opposed to driving to LA/VALLLEY in traffic.

As far as I know there is Eric B and a guy I met the other day Tracy Gray are up here. I'm sure there is more. Maybe this club would entice them out of the closet. I'm sure for swaps and maybe even meetings reefers from O.C. would make the drive as well. Where do we go from here? Steve by the way those Xenia are doing great, Thanks Eric C

I can host an informal gathering. My weekends for this are limited due to our Auto Swap schedule.
The dates I have available to host are...
November 22-23, 2003
December 21-23, 2003 (bad idea)
January 3-4, 2004
January 24-25, 2004
I don't know what everyone's feeling on a Friday night would be, but that would open up more possibilities for me. Not sure where everyone works and lives and how long it takes them to get home. I think at least one of the clubs has switched to Saturdays because of this.
Most other weekends I would be ok to attend on Saturday but not Sunday. I can attend on these weekends but not host because that way I can go home and go to bed when I'm ready. We get up around 2am to get to our Sunday only meets.
Even going to the last Encino swap made it tough the next day, with the drive home and mounting frags and trying to unwind and get a little sleep.
