WSHD327 Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 I realize I'm very new to the group and have only had my license for less than two months but what do any of you think about possibly renting a pavilion at a park near Moline for people to come hang out and meet face to face? It would be cool to meet everyone and put faces to callsigns. I've done a little bit of googling and the closest park with a pavilion seems to be Bysterveld County Park near Wayland. I've chosen this park because it would be relatively central for any and all who regularly use the Moline repeater and would like to attend. A half day rental is $80 and there are morning and evening time slots. a half day morning is from 8a until 1:30p and afternoon rentals are from 2p until 8p. I'm more than willing to throw in $20 towards the rental should we decide to do this. I'm also open to other ideas on other parks. Especially one's with grills and I could possibly bring a full-size propane grill if need be. Please let me know what you think!! Harley

Harley Ken (WSCW958) and I just discussed this last night after the net and are hoping to put together an event soon for people to meet up. We will be posting something on this group page and the facebook page for people to select their available times and suggest a place to meet! I think meeting in the Moline area is a great idea!
WSHD327 Posted March 25 Author Report Posted March 25 As do I!! Considering we hang out on Friday nights on the moline repeater, it just makes sense that the get together be somewhere in that area considering it would be centralized. Let me know if there is any way I can help with setup and whatnot. I'm on the fb page as hrly whting
