We let the weatherman ruin our last GTG. Anyone have any ideas on a place to go for a GTG, A fishing trip was one idea we talked about. Lets try to do something.

 

Lariat, I thought we just about had a fishing g2g going then Greywolf i thought bailed on us. I also thought someone with enough powers could e-mail all the chapter members and get them to chime in instead of putting up a post and hoping they will log on and see it then make some comments or input. Guess i need to stop thinking, it makes my head hurt!

Let me thought one more time, how about a picnic type meet at a lake or sometnig where we could fish, the kids could swim, the wives could whip up sometrhing to eat type of deal?????

 

I'm all for that type of a meet. We need to pick a lake & a date. How about Pickwick? I've emailed all the local members of another club about meets. It did help inform the ones who don't post much. I'm the western chapter leader in that club.I don't know if its ok to do it on FTE. I'd be glad to do it if its ok with the FTE rules.

 

My suggestion would be the 24th and pickwick would be great.

 

I can make it the 24th. It would give everyone 3 wks to plan for the GTG.Pickwick isn't too far for me. We could fish the dam spillway or the main lake. The state park is a good place to meet & have a cookout

 

Check something out for me - just to see if you guys can do it, okay?

Click on the member list link up top there, see if you can order it by chapter, and then see if you can reorder the list with the advanced settings to show:

Tennessee Chapter members that have posted within the last three or four months.

It's a useful tool, but I don't know if it can be used by everyone. I think it can! There is only one way to find out tho...
The advanced search options in the member list area is a very useful thing to know about. But what I want to make sure of is that it isn't just some special thing I can do because I'm a chap leader.

I can't get a list of members by chapter. It must be a chapter leader only thing. Is it ok for you to email the Tn chapter members to invite them to a GTG? I do it when we have a GTG with another group I'm in. It lets the ones that don't post often know about the GTG

 

Well whats the decision on a meet? I'm gonna plan a fishing trip to Pickwick on the24th. I'll & bring the wife & grandson if a few members decide to go too. I like the Pickwick area. It has lots of things to see. It has a huge Civil War Battleground to see nearby.

 

Where is Pickwick?

 

Pickwick is about 100 miles east of Memphis. Its in westtntruckers neighborhood. I take highway 72 from Collierville to Corinth Miss then I take highway 45 north to the dam. The state park is there plus the battlefield is close by.The area has lots of things for kids & adults to do It takes a day to visit the battlefield. Its probably closer for you to take I40 east to the 45 south exit Greywolf. I might see about getting a campsite & make a weekend of it.

 

ill be near pickwick in august for my family reunion. otherwise, i cant afford to make a special trip out there. gas is killing me right now

 

I like it.

And I hear Cap'n about the gas, but for me I figure four gallons each way (Cuss me if you want!).

I also luv old battlefields, but if we do good what does ice cost for a cooler chest?

I WILL stock my fridge that day...

 

Nuts - I have a commitment in Ripley on the 24th in the afternoon/evening. I'm not sure if I can make it or not. I have to be back around T-County by 4 or 5 PM.

If I can get there in the morning though it would work out great.

 

Hey just wandering where the get together is and how far from cleveland TN,,,,,,

 

Pickwick is in Hardin County, looks like the 57 takes off from the 45 to the dam - is that right? Whereabouts are we going to be?

That's a BIG lake...
