Meeting Idea's

[carb850]

We have kicked around the thought of having a meeting every since we got our new name here on Reef Central. Since we will be a year old in March I think it is time to make this happen. :beer: Anyone else interested? If so, lets start brain storming here.

I'm thinking the first meeting should be just a meet and great. We can put names with faces and talk about our hobby we all share. Since I don't know of any good places I'm proposing maybe a restaurant and do a dinner. As for location since we are spread out seemingly from Charleston to OH and KY I'm suggesting maybe Taeys Valley or Bourbousville.

yip, im in. providing im not out...

 

[coralreefer]

Lets do it.

 

[rsuplido]

I'm in as well.

 

[baldwinaquaman]

Sounds good to me

 

[Kung]

cool. soon is better. Once March rolls around it's track season, and I won't be available until June.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[carb850]

How many folks do you think might show? We have 6 in this thread and maybe by the time this happens we might pick up another 4? I cannot imagine more than a dozen showing up but I'd like to be proven wrong.

I still think Teays Valley/Hurricane would be the most central location for most but I don't know of a good place down that way. Potentially Applebees but that place can get so loud at times it might not be a good place to chat. My bike club had meetings at Panera Bread out South Ridge (near Charleston) which worked out nice. They have a room sort of separate that they let clubs use while dinning but it was pretty good size area. If we do end up being a small party they may not reserve that extra room for us.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

As for when I figure February is as good of a time as any.

 

[rsuplido]

I would suggest a more private venue -- maybe reserve a meeting room at a local public library or a state office building conference room.

Your welcome to use my house to meet. I live near Wallmart on Corr G.
1st topic:
See what happens to a reef with 3 days of no power and 50 degree temps.

I don't care to revisit that ANY TIME soon.

Do you know of any? I heard of groups using the South Charleston Public Library before.

 

[cdbias2]

What's your ideas for first topics?

 

[cdbias2]

Our club is not matured enough to be declared non-profit or not. The fees for libraries and state conference rooms could exist.
You haven't paid your dues yet. LOL

Could we meet on a Saturday - just because.

 

[baldwinaquaman]

Well i don't if you all would agree or not, but buffalo wild wings in southridge has a private room for groups and meetings. It could be a good place. I don't know how much they charge or anything.

 

[spinnerbayt]

Depending on the date you pick I might join in the fun.

Ah cool. Maybe the new BWW over at cross lanes would be open by then.

 

[baldwinaquaman]

Yeah it might be, but I don't know. We really need to elect some officials, and that way we can get things more organized. I really just do not know the best way to do that, anyone have any ideas?

 

[carb850]

Agenda:
If we are not careful the meeting will start here on the thread. Even the topic of should we elect officials might need to be discussed first. I suggest we pick a time and place then at the meeting the topics can begin to be addressed. I have already started my own list of things I would like discussed. How about everyone that plans on attending send me the topics they want to talk about and I can compile them into an agenda for the initial meeting? If someone else would prefer to handle this that would be fine by me too.

Meeting Minutes:
We probably need a volunteer for someone to take notes during the meeting. That way we won't forget the details.

Location:
Again I'm figuring only 6-12 will show. Would that work for the BWW meeting room? If so, I'm game. Other suggestions are still welcome too. We just need to pick a place ASAP.

When:
Lets tackle this after we pick the location.

 

[baldwinaquaman]

I think that the room will easily hold that many.

Red Lobster in Charleston has a back room that holds 16. I use to work there, but you would have to go on a weekday mon-fri and stay no longer than 2 hours.
