How can we create a poll to see first of all what day of the week works best for everyone? Then another poll to pick the date. Am I doing this at my house? Remember, no drinking, and crappy tank.

Are we having it at your house? I appreciate the enthusiasum but let's plan at least a week ahead of time. Plus only me and you have said Tuesday is good so far. And I am in the hospital. So that just leaves you haha. What about next week Tuesday?

I noticed the poll does not allow for Sunday? Is this for religous reasons? If so we should probably take Saturday out too!

<polls don't show up in Tapatalk - I see it now>

I'd definitly like to participate, but it would be nice if someone put forward a proposed time and place?

It's my poll. I'll decide. Lol. If anyone is offended by having Saturday in the poll but not Sunday, pm me.

I'm in Thorncliffe (NW) but I'll drive a bit to hang out with similarly deranged individuals.

I kinda like the idea of a standing day of the month and a specific meeting place. This makes it easy to plan for. Somewhere with beer would be good.

ok.....somewhere with beer is essential.

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?
