    Hey all

    I though we could get together sometime, see what is going on in our area, and see who is who.

    Any idea of where we could get together? I dont mind my house, but I live about 18 miles south of Waterloo on gravel.

    It would be more convenient for most people if we can find somewhere in Wloo or CF to actually meet.

    I'd love to check out your new setup! If not at your house I'm game for anywhere! The tapper wall at Beck's may be fun sometime too. Maybe both!

    I'm good for the 20th! What time and where?

    Sometime down the road I could host at my house... if we're really desperate for a location. I'd love to get some feedback from all of you on my setup...

    We had an nice meeting at the Waterloo library, other than attendance. We could go to Ferraris and see Josh W's cool tank. We could do pizza and bowling. We could organize a road trip to the QC LFS. That one should coincide with a QC event. Anyone else feel free to chime in.

    How about a tank tour, check out some of the setups in the area. Put some names with faces.

    You guys are all welcomed to come to my house for one of the stops if we are short on tanks to look at. It is still very new... it's still cycling. I took Craig's advice and redid the rockwork so feedback on that would be nice. I would also love to show you some of the simple tank automation I've incorporated into the rebuild.

    Not getting a lot of stops on our tank tour, not sure who to even call. I think we need a back up plan incase we don't get any stops.

    Have we asked? Have we sent out a mass PM? You cant expect everyone to sign up for something when the title says meeting place ideas.

    I tagged everyone in the region.

    I personally would say even if its only a couple stops I would have it and eventually it will grow. If Bud doesn't mind we have some stuff from new sponsors maybe we could supply a gift to giveaway for the meeting.

    @Region: Waterloo & Cedar Falls

    Its only been 3 days. My guess is not everyone has seen that you are trying to arrange a tank tour. I would keep bumping the thread and tagging the region every few days. You'll get more people to sign up i'm sure.
