    Exclamation West TN Club Update / Planning Meeting


    First, thanks to Charger and Slab, for setting us up a sub-forum!!! Thought it would be good for us to have a place to bounce club ideas / business around, without cluttering up the main TN forum.

    As of this posting, we have 30 guys and gals on the "I'm in" list, and those are just the crappie.com folks!!!!!!!! I have also posted ads on Craigslist, and hope everyone is spreading the word to those outside this site.

    I have not posted invitations on the surrounding State forums (KY, MO, AR, MS, AL), although there are a couple of folks from KY and MS, as well as one or two from Middle TN who have indicated an interest in joining. What do you all think about posting some invitations on those other State forums? Let me know.

    Not sure when the FlashChat feature will be available again. When it gets up and running, that will be a great tool to allow us to get together and plan / discuss, without all the driving.

    That said, FlashChat is not available now, so I think it would be good for us to go ahead and schedule a preliminary planning meeting. Seems the first step should be for us to get together and discuss all of our ideas (how will the club be organized / structured, what sort of events / activities do we want to hold, etc.).

    There is absolutely no way that we can decide on a time or location that will work for everyone, but we need an idea of what the general concensus is. So...

    -When do we want to schedule this? Would a week day evening, or a weekend day / evening work best for each of you?

    -Where do we want to schedule this? Right now, for those on the list that indicated where they lived, we have to consider folks who live in Camden, Springville, Ripley, Rutherford, Trenton, RoEllen, Dyersburg, Samburg, Jackson, Lexington, Parsons, Arlington, Millington, Collierville, Savannah... not to mention North MS, Western KY, and Middle TN (whew). Personally, I think the first meeting should be central to all of West TN. So, where?

    -How do we want to meet? What about reserving a private room at a restaurant? We could eat, visit, discuss our business, and visit some more!!!

    I also posted this thread on the main TN forum, so no one would miss it. Feel free to respond to either one.

    From this point on, let's try to stick to the WTCC sub-forum, with regard to any club related posts, so we won't all have to be looking all over the place, hoping not to miss anything.

    Look forward to hearing from / meeting you all!!!

    George

    George, My 2 cents worth. It looks like Jackson would be a central location. I think meeting at a restaurant would be good. I'm open on during the week or weekend but I just need at least week notice when we plan to meet so I can adjust my work and church schedule. I'm ok with anybody who wants to be part of the club, no matter what state or area.

    I second that. Jackson does seem to be the most central spot. Maybe we can move future meetings around to give others a shorter drive in the future. Evenings 6:30ish should work for me or I could probably even meet earlier.

    Jason,

    I agree. If we decide to have regular meetings, I think it would be great to rotate around to different towns. That way, everyone gets an equal opportunity to burn some gas. Plus, I am sure that there are people that would attend a meeting very close to their home, that would not drive out of town. Would be good for everyone to have an opportunity to attend a meeting every now and then. The only other idea I had was for us to hold every meeting at Lynn's house. (Do you know if he can cook???) :D:D:D
