sun Jan 1/27- club party

Changed to Sunday 1/27 - I will be hosting a club get together / chilli feast at my house. We've been talking about the need for a club meeting and non-trail get together so I figure beer and chili - that hits it for me!

We can build on an open house from 3pm-9pm. Chili and whatever the grill will work is the menu. I'm located in Severn by Ft. Meade off 175 by Arundel Mills mall. I'll post directions and parking later. Please post who's interested so I can make sure we got plenty of whatever.

Dude! thats like the day of the superbowl.

Fudge ---- thats what I get for looking at jeep and vacation schedules.

Then we go the weekend before - Jan 27th! same deal.

Awesome! Make it a strong possible for me. Is this a family friendly gathering? Just need a place for the kids to play or arrange for sitter. Should be plan on bringing something to share? We can do whatever...bring grill stuff or side or I can make the famous "bottom of the barrel gangs heat wave chili".

Bottom of the barrel chili?! Sure - I figure a couple of kinds of chili would be great. As people PM or respond we can build on it as to what others can bring if they want.

As for kids - I dont mind them, have a couple of my own but they are grown. I'll leave it up to you. I have a townhouse with a deck. Not sure what I have for kid entertainment but the small backyard is the dogs (they will be taken care of for the party) but we do have a ok size common area behind us and if the weather is good theres space to toss a ball and play. Theres also a TV downstairs in my sons room if they want to break off from the adults.

I'm really looking forward to this - I think it would be nice to have the group together outside of the creek.

Let us know what we can bring.

Gill, It's looks like I can make it let me know what you need me to bring

Gill what is the official day for the gathering?

I did see the 27th, but on another message he send me he had said something about Feb 08, but that's ok. the 27th is good I guess.

You are right T - the original was 8th but thats superbowl so I did the edit message to move it a week earlier. In light of your email maybe this would be a good time for people to relax, have a few brew and talk about the future of the group. Or we could just eat chili and act out scenes from Blazing Saddles. I dont care - i just like good times and the people.

Gil,

You may count me in also. My wife works for a beer distributor, Coors & Miller products. Let me know how many cases you want me to bring.

Paul,
Is Barb going ?

Gill,

Thank you for your gesture and commitment to hold a general meet and greet at your house. This is highly appreciated, I think a home environment lends to our clubs brotherhood that we are a family of close friend’s not just club members. I am particularly appreciated because my house is too small to hold such festive situations, hell, if I have more than 3 people at home aside from myself and family I have a full house. So thank you again.

Addressing the membership:

This function has been sanctioned by the club and your participation is requested for maximum participation club direction, but most of all it is a fun meeting. I don’t want to make this a long dragged out discussion. I rather have fun chatting and meeting a lot of you out there. So if you are a reader, rather than a writer, come to the party, if you are a writer come too, if you do neither come join us. But make sure you are a paid member of the club!

If you want to bring a dish to add to the food entre, please do, if you want to bring snacks, beer or sodas. Let’s have a great time!

Are you talking about the lines from around the campfire sence with the chile we should be able to do that dialog.

that would clear a room.

Count me in for 4 cases & my wife will make sausage & pepers .

Gill,
Thanks for the invite and all of your work putting this function together. Unfortunately I will be in Deep Creek snowboarding. Sorry I won't be able to make it.

See you on the trails!

I'll be there with my wife.

I will bring BBQ and rolls

Gil,

Did I miss the directions ?
