Well.. we'll be there still at 8... and 9... and probably 10 still ;)

One thing that needs to be mentioned: this is a place of business. Please do not come before 6pm in order not to interfere with business operations. If you get there early there's a coffee shop and other points of interest in the area.

Thanks

[GrimmJeeper]

Well.. we'll be there still at 8... and 9... and probably 10 still ;)

if it was on a weekend i would be there for sure ;)

i think an official meeting would be better had on a weekend :dunno: might get more people to attend. between work and my kids athletic programs i just dont have time during the week anymore.

i am sad to be missing this, ive never been to a MG where actual discussions of club buisness will be going on. it sounds like it will be a good time.

[tcm glx]

I am gonna try and make this one!

[erikwylie]

Me too! Working on some raffle stuff as well

[hellbilly04]

I'm going to "try" & make it as well but wife is not home till 6ish & with traffic it will be like 8 before I can get there..

I got to agree with Grimm on this one !! If its a Official Meet and Greet, a weekend would be better so members can come. To much goes on in the weekday for alot of us, I know i would like to go but just cant do it on a weekday, im sure there are alot of others like myself and Grimm

[Kejtar]

I understand where you're coming from but sadly enough it's hard to get a schedule that fits everyone and we're also working with facilities. Grant's shop is probably one of the best places that we ever had M&G's at. We have a huge parking lot to hang out, an outside BBQ, we can have raffle and so on.

The flexibility in how the place is setup allows for all to talk to each other, check out rigs, parking is not an issue and so on. Also there are folks that can't make make weekends cause they work weekends. So my apologies to all those who can't make it on weeknight, but we'll have the next one on a weekend (alternating them gives us opportunity to get as many folks covered as possible).

Thanks

[JohnX]

I'll see what I can do...maybe come later.

[FordGuy]

Man, that makes for a late night during the week. San Clemente ? To far for me on a Wed.

[Kejtar]

Btw, for all that miss it, we will have meeting notes posted online.

[Kejtar]

Btw folks lets not forget that there is a chapter event that is happening on a weekend a month later to cover the folks that can't make it on weekdays.

[4xSanta]

Weekends are for wheeling,weekdays are for talking about wheeling.......SANTA

[Darky]

I'd love to be there, but it'll keep me out too late on a weekday. At my new job I'll be working 7-3 so getting there would be ok, I could get there by 7ish, but I'll have to up again by 500am to get to work on time...

[rpraterxj]

I understand and agree that a weekend would be great. We will make sure that we have a weekend chapter meeting in the summer.

Timing just came out this way. We will be sure to post meeting "minutes" so everyone will get an idea of what was discussed.

[cds36]

Thats just too far away Attica!!! Attica!!!! Attica!!!!






Just F__kin with ya hah

[Monkey55]

I agree with Robert and Remi. If it were on the weekends, other people wouldn't be able to attend for the same reasons. Alternating weekdays and weekends is a good idea.

[Original_MudButt]

Your BOD will discuss items listed below:

5. trail ettique/rules - drinking, gear, vehicle equipment, etc...



I need a board to discuss my drinking ettique/rules? WOW you guys ARE thorough!! :laugh:

I will try and make it.... I will be out of state all next week, then leaving again on the 10th........

[Gerr]

I should be there

[TRNDRVR]

Welcome to the first Chapter meet & greet of the year.
I won't be there, but it was sure nice bumping into/meeting you today Robert. My wife and kids were digging the beach. I foresee a beach front vacation in my near future.

Dan.

[KRAKER]

I'm gonna try and make it.

[99xjache]

I can guarantee I wont make it. 3 hr drive one way = no way. I guess when they say socal they mean OC.

[Gerr]

I can guarantee I wont make it. 3 hr drive one way = no way. I guess when they say socal they mean OC.
ouch that has to sting a little.

It would be nice to have some of the bigger gathering in more convenient places for those who don't live in the oc. Hell even if you rotate it around it would be nice.

Im still willing to drive the distance spend the gas and waste my time in traffic to go since it is a important meeting.

[Kejtar]

I can guarantee I wont make it. 3 hr drive one way = no way. I guess when they say socal they mean OC.
Ouch.. that hurts...... but here's the deal: if you look at the distribution of the folks in SoCal chapter then unfortunately LA, and OC are for the most part centrally located. Xmas party was in Long Beach and couple of the SD folks said that it's too far North. Couple folks from the desert areas mentioned it's too far West. Couple folks from Ventura mentioned it's too far South. So... now when it went South East to get the South and East folks it's too far for some other folks. Folks who can't make weekends are happy but those who can't make weekdays are not happy.

Bottom line is this: I"m sorry that not everyone can make it. I would love to have all be able to come out but then there's Big Bear a month later. Big dinner Sat night, raffle and camp fire and so on: if you can't make it to wheel, show up for that. I know it'll be inconvenient for some, perfect for others. There is no place that will keep everyone happy, no time that will keep everyone happy, no day that will make everyone happy.

[Monkey55]

I'm going to say this for those who can not say it because of their position.

STOP WHINING and DEAL WITH IT!!!!

It's a f'n NAXJA meeting, not a meeting to end world peace. You can make events that I can't attend and vice-versa.

The BOD are not dumbsh*ts. They consider all of these factors and I'm sure they struggled with this decision.

So, give them a break. They do a lot of stuff "behind the scenes" and like Remi said, they can't please everyone..

Yeah it is getting a little carried away, my thing was just to get everyone together theres alot of guys I havent met and would like to, Now that I think of it I usually dont say much anyways and just drink beers, so im cool haha

[rpraterxj]

I can guarantee I wont make it. 3 hr drive one way = no way. I guess when they say socal they mean OC.


I understand the frustration, but NO, the SoCal chpater does not mean OC. There are many M&G's all over the chapter each month, plus work parties, hang-out parties, wheeling, etc....

This particular is just something new we want to bring to you, the members. I believe that the BOD should be heard from throughout the year, not just at election time. The members should care and want to know about things such as budget, membership, ideas, etc...

I did state that we will be rotating this type of meeting around the region. No, we will never please everyone at once and we will not even try.

We do want to offer plenty of opportunity though.

We also said the meeting minutes will be posted so everyone will be able to get a download and post their comments.

This group is an adult group, most of the time, and we should treat this as such.

Please bear with us and trust the BOD. We want to make this the best place for XJ owners and the best chapter within NAXJA. We have the best people, that's a fact!

With that said, I hoep as many folks as possible can make it next week. We do kind of need to get an idea on how many folks for food. Burgers and dogs will probably be the menu.

So finally, to those who can not make this one, we will see you at the next one.

Like Remi said, our BIG BEAR event is coming up very soon. Try to make plans to come for that. Stock to well-built can have fun up there. Some of the JV residents may not be super challenged, but they will still have fun. Heck, the BBQ, Raffle, and campfire are awesome!

Thanks everyone!

[rpraterxj]

I won't be there, but it was sure nice bumping into/meeting you today Robert. My wife and kids were digging the beach. I foresee a beach front vacation in my near future.

Dan.


Dang! You should extend your vacation by 2 weeks and make our meeting.... LOL

It was great meeting you today as well. What a small world we live in!

[SanDiegoXJ]

I can guarantee I wont make it. 3 hr drive one way = no way. I guess when they say socal they mean OC.

Um, I live so far south I can see the next country, but that doesn't mean I think I'm being excluded because of my location. Frankly, Anaheim is pretty close when you consider the total capacity of land that is encompassed by Southern California (particularly if you only separate northern and southern and exclude central california). That's a lot of friggin' mileage and Anaheim aint' THAT far away. So get off yer high horse. The fact that there are more active members in the OC/LA area than the SD area dictates that the meetings should be held in a centralized location.

In case your mommy didn't tell you, life isn't always fair.

EDIT: Oh, hehe, I prolly won't be there either guys...but just in case it comes up, I vote for chapter sponsered beer and tapped kegs at every run!

[hollywood32]

There will be food and a small raffle to help raise funds to help pay for the food.



I will try and be there, is there anything in particular needed for the raffle, I have tons of recovery gear laying around, and some of it is even safe to use.

[SanDiegoXJ]

...I have tons of recovery gear laying around, and some of it is even safe to use.

Wish I could say the same.....well the safe to use part anywho :doh:

[corbinafly]

Should be able to make it.

[crazyjim]

I'm in.

[FordGuy]

Its obvious that the So.Cal group is just a tight knit group of Guy's/Gal's and everyone enjoys getting together. Nobody wants to miss out. Sounds like a great problem for a group to have. Whining, not really. Hope I can make it.

[Darky]

Yeah, I'm just stating my excuse, don't take it as me complaining :) Wish I could be there but getting up at the butt crack of dawn for my new job precludes just about anything on weekdays, up to and including missing House! :eek:

[hollywood32]

Wish I could say the same.....well the safe to use part anywho :doh:
Well, buy some raffle tickets for socal fest I will be donating a brand new 30,000lb recovery strap, and if needed something for the chapter meeting. I promise not to donate any of the unsafe stuff, thats stuff is just for me.

[Kejtar]

woohoo ! Thanks!!!!

[djblade311]

I will be there of course! Big thanks to Grant for offering his shop (I know how much of a PITA it can be to host).

[rpraterxj]

BTT....

[gcurtis]

Thanks everyone for wanting to come out.

We did a bunch of M&G's at the shop a couple of years ago and they were great, but my business got too busy to continue.

Yes, it is a week night and a PITA, but bear with me. I'm working with my commercial landloard for a Sunday show and shine for XJ's late this summer, that could double as a BOD meeting. It takes time to execute a weekend and, frankly, I have very few weekends available if my chick and I aren't jeeping, traveling/hiking (we were out your way this weekend, Rick) or doing family crap; all of which we do a ton of.

Show up. Drive your heep (I'll be in the Chevy). Bring a sixer to put in the tub of ice. I'll have pulled pork sandwiches for y'all and raffling off an Odyssey battery to raise funds for the chapter. I'm sure others will pitch in as well. If you've been to these M&G's, they are pretty damned cool, especially when Kyung does burnies, Rollin's does brake checks and everyone has a great time. Bring the family and kids, it is totally welcomed and encourged. I'll let it run until the wheels fall off, the only thing I ask is you respect my shop and my business hours and show up after 6P and clean up when done.

Rock on.

[karstic]

Bringing this back up

[Brendan_91XJ]

If I am in town that week I will be there!!
But I am actually in town next week...hmmm two weeks in a row at home,

:party:THAT WOULD BE AWESOME:party:

[rpraterxj]

BTT....

This is next week!

[djblade311]

FYI, at this Meet N greet, we will be pulling the winning names for the new and renewed paid members from the membership drive. Some of the products may not be available for immediate pickup if the donaters do not come to the MnG but we will forward along the contact info to the donaters so they can either deliver or ship the items.

[slowrider]

I might be there if work and other things cooperate but if were going to do these quarterly in the future we'd have far more people show and far fewer people complaining if these quarterlies were held on the weekends IMHO.

[mikedashg]

2 hour drive on a weekday? Have fun. I have spy's there so if I win the membership drive thing I'll know.

Next time have it in the REAL SoCal, anything north of san clemente is halfway to MidCal. :D

[cal]

Somehow I didnt know about this at all until a non naxja member pointed out its the night after the valley m&g. Guess I need to work less and naxja more.

I may try and make it, but it is a 2 hour drive on a work night with LA traffic. :(

Just a question here, but shouldn't it be those that actually put up the incentive draw the names? I belive that is the way i understood it.

[Kejtar]

That depends ;) One I believe said he will draw a name and I believe the rest just donated the prizes. We will go through the threads though and honor the process those that are donating want to follow.

[erikwylie]

Just curious!

[Kejtar]

Just curious!
No worries. It was a good point :)

[djblade311]

yes. For those who want to draw their own names, they certainly can do that. Sorry if my decision was a wrong one...just trying to help make it easier for everyone else.

[strikedistance]

Dont have a Jeep yet but hopefully will soon. I'll be there if its cool with everyone.

Anybody coming got a seatbelt latch assembly they wanna sell me? I'm looking for the short (8-10") part with the buckle that bolts to the floorpan on the side of the central hump (oh.. for the front seat). If so, bring it... I should be there by 7.

I'll shut it down about 9 or 9:30 PM depending upon the crowd.

I got one still wired in the Jeep, the belt latch doesn't work tho.

[WraithKWK]

I'll be leaving in 30-45 mins so hopefully i'll make it there.... /pray i dont break down. I should be out there at 6

Dang... that's the broken bit on mine, too... seems like there's a part that fell out somewhere; it doesn't hold the other half of the buckle in.

[crazyjim]

Leaving here in about 10 minutes... see you guys there!

[md11fan]

you guys still need another bag of ice?

[JohnX]

Bring it....If the drinks are cold, we can always use it on some (FEMALE) nipples!

Thanks to everyone that came out and made this a great meeting!

Thanks to Grant for opening his place and cooking the great food.


Sorry I did not get to socialize as much as I wanted, but my boy was being a normal 4 yr old.

We had a great turn out, lots of new people showed up. I didn't get a finally tally, but we were definitely over 30 people.

We will get some notes posted up about what we talked about in the "meeting".

Thanks again to everyone!
