I'd really like to see this happen. Here's my proposal.
On the first Wednesday of every month, we do a tank tour. One member steps up and agrees to an "open house" for other members to come and chat about his tank. Timing would be something like 7-9pm but would be at the descretion of the member hosting the invite.
Once every three months, on the second Saturday of the month, we have a frag swap. This is a slightly longer event, probably something like 1pm - 6pm but again is at the descretion of the member hosting the invite. The host can decide if beer is appropriate (BYOB) and whether he wants to offer hot dogs on the bbq or something like that.
I pick Saturday for three reasons:
1) Most people want Sunday for family time (whether relegious or just hanging out).
2) Having a frag meet during the evening seems a little problematic. I think more time is needed?
3) If we don't just pick a day, it will never happen.
Initially, we will not do the "tank tour" and the "frag meet" in the same month. Therefore, if there is a frag meet that month, it can be assumed the tank tour will not be taking place.
I would ask if there are any members in Calgary that would step up to own this initiative. Responsability would fall on them until such time as they find someone else to take over. I don't really want to do this.
However - if no one else wants to own this, then I will do it. If there is support, then I can make this happen. As a fall back, I can offer my house for the first tank tour or the first frag swap.
The organizer, whether me or someone else, would be responsible for arranging with another member each month for the appropriate event (and ensuring that an event takes place!).
At this point, I have a two very simple questions.
1) Yes or No.
2) Are there any volunteers to own this, or do you want me to do it?
