Re: 2012 Bubbles & Blazes Gathering!

[Guest guest]

One thing I was going to suggest was something I've seen occur in NJ gatherings

on a couple of occasions, that is having them at a VFW post or something

similar. Rent a hall for a day; it's way easier.

That way no one has to volunteer their home to be trashed and there's plenty of

space to see demo's, spread out the buffet, etc. Seemed to work out well.

Sounds good to me. I think some of these organizations would appreciate the

extra income.

Thanks for your input, Bob. We're actually working on a site like that.

Of course, that will probably make the event more expensive since we'd

have to pay for using the space.

Is that a problem for anyone? I'm trying hard to keep the cost down, but I

want to provide a good experience for everyone.

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks, Susie. That is always the challenge--making it homey without being

crammed in like sardines, lol. Things work quite nicely with our size

group at 's, but few of us have the large open space that she does.

I am more then happy to volunteer to host one of these times but the house needs

a little work done first. So it wont be until another year or two. But after we

do that I would be really excited to host as I have more then enoug parking, a

nice area for demos and a large shaddy yard and garage for lunch and so on. Plus

it's on the lake so it is nice and cool during the summer.

But alas, we got a hole in the ceiling and a shed falling apart to deal with

this summer yet.
