lol ok so we have 4 "yays" so far... alright...

so should we start the discussion/poll for the day of the month and timeframe and location of the monthly meetings in another thread and include a link to it from this thread or carry it out in this one?

Sounds good...I couldn't make it this weekend but I'm in for the idea. I like Great Falls too...more central to the folks in areas like Silver Spring/College Park even though you still have to cross the river.

i'm in, coming from oakton/vienna area

I recommend a weeknight like tuesday or wednesday

Ok, so 6 in for the monthly meets so far.

So is something more towards the Great Falls location better? I just realized that though it might be a great place (huge parking areas, grills, easy access, etc), if we do get rained out, there is no close location (that I'm aware of) to move the meet to. Like at Accotink Park, we could have easily gone to the Springfield Mall's parking garages....

For days of the week... We have Tues/Wed/Thur/Sat...
How about which week? Is the third week of each month good?

We had last year's meet at Great Falls and I remember paying to get in. Also had to pay toll.

**W3bMa5t3r** · 08-21-2006, 07:43 AM

suggestions anyone? need plenty of parking, so we can have our group off to a side, without other folk getting all up in it, and if we're gonna do the "get-together / meet and greet" side of things, we need a place to grill and just chill for a few hours at least.

Springfield mall parking lot is a large area. There are many 'satellite' lots we can take over. And we can grab some food at Bennigans or something. If we're having these during the week I'm sure the parks all close at dusk.

i'm coming from the oakton/vienna area as well, nice to see another person from this area with the same hobby (MadJad), I guess now I have competition, haha.

I'm really looking forward to these meets, because I can get quick and accurate help and recommendations.
