October meeting
I was thinking of haold an October meeting. more more like an event. It would probably be getting cooler so out door wrench turning, but may be a bon fire. at nigh of course. more of a get together just to meet people.
|
Sounds like a plan. Do you have a location in mind?
|
I would have to clear it with the wife, but i was thinking at our place outside of DeWitt (Eastern Iowa). Our farm, great place to have a bon fire on not good for camping. Not far from Davenport. Another idea would be Scott County Park poeple can camp, but not sure of a bon fire. If people don't like to camp hotels are near by in Davenport.
I can check on SCP if people want to camp. A date: not the first weekend in Oct. We will be out of town (Green Bay). JUst some ideas. |
well I like the sounds of an Oct GTG, but first and third weekends are out as I have races both of those weekends but that doesn't have to stp everyone else if one of those weekends works better for everyone else.
|
I'm open for time, at this time, if it works, let's call for 2nd weekend then. I would say your farm is fine, if you didn't have something I might have gone with my parents place at Marengo, but we haven't had a truly eastern meeting yet, so sounds like something to go for.
|
i second dewitt ,pretty long drive from camanche but think i can handle it :-X03
|
WEll, consider that it could be Des Moines, or south from there, pretty close... Marengo even is a ways away from you.
While I'm thinking about it, there should be another swap meet at Hawkeye downs in Cedar Rapids on the 3rd weekend of October I believe. I don't know just yet if I am going to it yet or not, will have to decide that closer to time, courtesy of the fuel prices... Just found this: 15-16 — 27th Annual AACA Cedar Rapids Region Swap Meet - Hawkeye Downs Fairgrounds, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Saturday 8 AM - 5 PM, Sunday 6 AM - 3 PM. For info call 319-846-3499. |
Tried all weekend to talk my into it. It's a no go. Would have been fun. Need a new spot.
|
Are you taking about at the farm or at the campground? Maybe you can think of another place around the area...
|
The farm is out. I did get prices for Scott County Park. Minimum camp is $11.00 a night and max with all the hook ups is $17.00. Prices not bad.
|
October being what it is, it would need to be either a bonfire type thing or have the ability to be indoors somewhere. I don't know if many would be camping or not. We can even just get together at a restaurant or something like that, it can be anything. Depends on what all everyone would want to do, just hang out and BS, or do something or whatever.
|
Resturant sounds good. Quad Cities or IC/CR area. My October is filling up. I only have the 29th open. All other are filled in with other must attend functions.
I would perfer the Quad Cities. I would like to sugest Old Chicago. Good Food and plenty of beer (world beer tour, 110 beers from aound the world on hand). If we could get a possible head count hotel rooms might be an option for long way travers. I think a min of 10 rooms to get a discount. I can check on that. If this sounds o.k. I will lokk into it. |
Room Rates
Days Inn in Davenport reg 54.99 + five per person extra. If around 10 rooms 45.00 + 5 per person extra. If we can get 15 rooms 35.00 + 5 per person extra. Plus tax on each. Heated indoor pool, weight room, and just off the interstate |
i have a couch and an air mattress if some one wanted to save some money and spend the night here :-X22
|
15 rooms wow ! that would defintly be a big meeting, defintly the biggest so far.
