Several of the areas are in the process or organizing tank tours.    Tank tours are events where club members spend an afternoon visiting eachothers tanks.  You don't not have to be showing a tank to attend a tour.

For more information please read the following forum threads:

• Cedar Rapids Tank Tour (Oct. 19th)
• Waterloo/Cedar Fall Tank Tour (Oct. 26th, Tentative)

We incourage you to join us for these very informal, fun events.

Check out pictures in the gallery!

Saturday February 23rd we will be meeting at 1:00 to discuss and practice drilling tanks.
Jason (glaspie) and Caleb (calebjk) will be talking about two different ways to drill a tank.
We will be drilling JB's 29 bow, hoppers 60 hex, and benjis.
If you are getting a hole drilled with a dremmel you need to buy and bring a grout removal bit for the dremmel.


After we are finished drilling tanks, we can head over to Buffalo Wild Wings if people are interested (club is NOT paying). Looking forward to a fun meeting; don't forget eye and ear protection, safety first!

Now that the club has elected its new Board of Directorys for 2008, we are moving on to the process of nominating local trustees for the 4 main regions of the club.  Trustees play an important role in supporting the GIRS BOD and making sure that each region is well represented in the club.  If you would like to nominate someone (or yourself) please do so in the following discussion threads:

• Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Nominations Thread
• Des Moines Nominations Thread
• Quad Cities Nominations Thread
• Waterloo/Cedar Falls Nominations Thread
