WRJY601 Posted Friday at 03:53 AM Report Posted Friday at 03:53 AM Good evening folks! I've often heard many of your comments that we should have a get together and I figure why not? So I wanted to put some feelers out there on what kind of get together we should have. Should we reserve a table at a restaurant? Maybe a pavilion in a park and bring our own food (cookout or potluck)? Also, when should we have it? I figure maybe sometime in the late summer or early fall. Let's get some ideas together! marcspaz 1

WSEZ864 Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago ** IF ** we wanted to use a park pavilion, it looks like HoCo parks do offer pavilion reservations: https://www.howardcountymd.gov/recreation-parks/rentals The smallest one (Waterloo Park) is for 25 people and is $145 to rent/reserve. Centennial Park is pretty decent and only a few dollars more ($165) for a pavilion there. I've fished Centennial Lake quite a bit and it's not far off I-95 x MD-100 or I-70 for those that might come that way. For inside venues, our ham radio club has about one "club breakfast" a month at the local (Arundel Mills) Golden Corral buffet. They don't do anything special for us, but do let us grab a couple tables in back for our group (15-20 people). Food is regular price and no one ever gets very sick. I'm sure there are other spots like this around. As mentioned by WRJY601, we could reserve a table in a restaurant. I'm not that familiar with what's in HoCo, but I'm sure there are plenty spots around with a "banquet room" or similar that we could reserve. I guess it's really going to depend on how many attend, right now we could all hit a drive-thru in my truck... If we're going to do this outside, it's probably best to wait until September for the temperatures to get reasonable again. If inside, any time. I have business deadlines that come and go, but should be available if we don't have a compressed bid in progress. Thoughts?
