Default Re: Calling all Los Angeles County Crossfires

Personally I can't do the next two weekends but the 25-26 of June looks good.

In July the 9-10, 16-17 and 30-31 weekends look like a better bet than the others - 4th of July plans may impact the 2-3 weekend and CAA is scheduled over 23-24.

Cross_Phire, if you like, take control of this. One of the biggest challenges we face in So Cal is having someone step up and take rein in organizing a meet. It gets to the point that the only way we have one is when a volunteer declares where, what and when the next meet will be. You have a pretty good handle on what is involved so I'd like to suggest that you polish the meet up with a date and place to eat.

Suggest an activity, date, and where to meet and then stick to the basics. There is always going to be someone who won't be able to attend and a meet will never be held if the date is constantly changed. By the same token the date should be a good three weeks or so away to give owners time to plan for it. In the meantime owners can offer ideas on what to do but have something planned as a basis - again, C&C is a good activity. I wouldn't be too concerned about the where other than it be a convenient place to meet up at. With C&C it would be nice for all the owners to gather outside and caravan in to C&C, for example. As for LA folk driving vs SD folk driving, we've pretty much have alternated between the two cities and right now it's LAs turn to host.

I'm kind of goading you into organizing this but that's because you've down much of the groundwork already. With a little more effort a meet will be ready to go. Don't worry about hosting the perfect event - this is simply a gathering of owners and friends and that's all we really need.
