2. Finances: state of the SoCal Chapter finances will be announced.
3. 2006 event planning: so think about what where and how.
4. Drawing for all the attendees: all that show up will receive a coupon for a drawing that will be held sometime during the meeting (incentive to be early and stay for the duration ;) )
5. Planning for the maintenance of the adopt a trail
6. An announcement of an ongoing top secret project!

Non-members are also welcome!

[Kejtar]

Just bringing this back to the top as people are returning to their comps from the holiday break :D

The event planning schedule that came out of a similar meeting last year didn't work very well (to say the least). I highly recommend that comments be taken, and the chapter board sit down and work out a workable and sensible schedule.

Setting up events is much more than just seeing who wants to go where when. Timing, opportunities, facilities, and leadership all need to be taken into consideration. That is very difficult to do with a large group.

Richard I agree. I think that too many events were chosen to be "semi official" last year and for the most part participation was poor.
I think that as you say, the meeting will be a spot to get suggestions and ideas as to what people are interested in and then an official event schedule could be posted around first of the year with understanding that it will be impossible to make everyone happy.

How 'bout people make suggestions to trips and date here in this thread 9or start another if you like). They suggestor must be willing to be the trip leader. then the BOD can choose a quarterly trip and present them at the meeting. Or something like that.

How 'bout they think about what they want to suggest and talk about it during the meeting? If they can't make it to the meeting they can send me a message and I'll read the suggestions during the meeting (if you send me a message about a trip, please make sure that I confirm receiving it)

Hey Remi, you lost me at the word "meeting". Actually, I have someplace to be Sunday ;) afternoon/early evening so I can't attend (and I despise meetings), but take these words of advice with a grain of salt.

When I ran an advocacy club (pedal not throttle), all meetings except one were kept to a time limit. That time limit was listed on the agenda next to the topic (the meeting time was broken down by agenda item) and there was no deviation from that unless there was valuable discussion. At that point, the discussion was moved to the end of the meeting so those that wanted to stay could and rant and rave at will. Everyone else could go about their business.

Open discussion is great but it can be a facuet that is difficult to turn off. Once it over runs the sink everyone gets wet and none are too happy about it.

Time limits, my boy, time limits. I've found that attention span for a meeting of any sort is no more than one hour. :)

Sat?? It's on Sunday :D

[gcurtis]

Sat?? It's on Sunday :D

Sorry Remi, my post says Sunday! ;)

Seriously, after years of running a club and being at meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting with the club, board of directors, Forest Service, Irvine Company, County of Orange, water districts, other clubs, Tupperware parties, land owners etc, I'm meeting'd out. All I'll do is sit in the back whilst I groan and fart. Really, not good to have at a meeting and rather disruptive. ;)

In short, Remi, I'm retired from meetings. :)

how long do you guys think you are gonna be out there?

[johnnyc]

IIRC last year, people starting showing up around 1 pm to hang out in the parking lot. Then we were inside the restaurant for a couple of hours. And then more hanging out in the parking lot. So maybe 5 pm??

C'mon by Cupcake. I'm sure people would like to meet you...and slap you around a bit. :laugh3:

Pretty nice turnout. I think we had 14 rigs (http://www.kejtar.com/pics/lineup.jpg)

[johnnyc]

I think I counted 14 XJs, 1 MJ...and a scooter.

14 sounds about right :D

here's another pic of the lineup (http://www.kejtar.com/pics/lineup2.jpg).

[Loose_Nuts_Enterprises]

here's another pic of the lineup (http://www.kejtar.com/pics/lineup2.jpg).

I count 18 in that pic...maybe 17 but it looks like two real close on the far left.

Well... noone said that I have to know how to count :D Counting is Ron's job :D

But yeah, this pic shows the number of vehicles better.

[mikedashg]

Yeah, well since it's been poorly photochopped, there are TWO duplicates right after Tim's MJ from the left. I can count 15 Cherokee's and 1 Commanche (including the 2 that are real close, not inlcuding the duplicates.).


"So how's the trail in big bear?"

You're right... I just noticed that both of the pics (there is also lineup1) have duplicated one pic. Oh well, at least it looks like a bigger crowd :D

Good eye Mike.

Do we need to do a manual recount of Remi's election?
