How about we chime in with what dates there are other events happening so we don't have conflicts.

we don't want it on the same day as TFCTFN
and we don't want to have it Feb. 27th when Plum Island surfcasters show is.
Not when MSBA show is either , but it won't be that late anyway.

I was thinking we can do it in January some Saturday like the 23rd

I hope to make a call to find a hall tom. if I remember.

any input?
thanks

That will work, unless you are going to an AFC Championship game at Foxboro the next day.... No football on the 31st....



Speaking of football, anyone interested in a squares p00l for the SB? We could start budgeting now for a really big pot....

MSBA Show is March 6-7 I think?? Early this year!

More time to build after Xmas would be my preference. Jan 21 seems early.

better start now then and small gibbs type darters but wired thru with same action please. I know you can do this so get started.

Bruce I will call you today. Got an idea for a place to have it.

All I know is I'll be there with my bic pen needle...you guys are gonna be floored...or to use a Flapism, "You guys are all toast." :hee:

Why not have it Superbowl Sunday?? Its over by 3-4 and the game is not on until 6:00????:huh: Get everyone out of the house so we don't have to endure the endless, repetitive pre-game drivel!

You forget us that travel i for one would not like to hear the game on the radio as i am driving home.:smash:

Bruce I looked into the Ted Williams camp and it is out. They have issues with the building, water damage I think, and don't want to rent it out anymore right now. Would have been perfect. If you need help give me a jingle.

Let's have it in New Jersey :rotf2:

Talked with Bruce thisd morning, I am going to check out the Order of Eagles hall just off of Main Street Buzzards Bay. It would be perfect, easy to get to, very large, big kitchen, not that fancy so when the machinery is set up for demos not much to worry about. Plenty of tables. Huge parking lot.

Right by the canal. It's got a lot going for it as far as our event goes.:uhuh:

Salty could be in the same room as all of us. Poor guy had to be relegated to the back closet last year.

I will keep you informed.

It would be nice to finally get #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& out of the closet! (Insert rim-shot here!):biglaugh:

I can understand that Lou.....you being a big Pats fan and all! :uhuh: :pats2:

But seriously folks......:rotf2:

I agree with the smart guy on this issue too.

22nd late enough? :rotf2:

Crap. Winter Planning :wall:

Time to break out the calendar :devil2:

Amazing its so difficult to schedule given there is never anything to do in the winter!!!:buds:

I do not know how difficult it would be John but why not have PlugFest the same day as TFCTFN??? All the out of towners would be here and could attend both??? Just a thought?? :buds::cheers2::cheers2::gu::buds:

what ever date it is.. I'm going.. I aint missing it again this year!

Uhhhhh....just thinking here, but in the case of a stray spark wouldn't Salty and NIB in the same room be an explosion hazard?

Ah, no problem with all the bs floating around the room even a class one division explosion proof facility would be rendered disabled.

We'll just live dangerously.

Scratching head - does that mean you would go to one :rotf2: ?

Joe, you can have three tables if you want. This makes very happy, it will be good to see ya!:uhuh:

Hey you could ride down with us. You and Eelskimmer in the backseat. Eeelskimmer is hilarious when he starts hitting on the direction chick inside the TomTom.

Uhhhhh....just thinking here, but in the case of a stray spark wouldn't Salty and NIB in the same room be an explosion hazard?

why would NIB come??
someone building golf balls? or custum clubs?
perhaps to get some hand made tee's?
or will there be some nice golf wear on exhibit?
perhaps some "plus size" plus fours??

the most explosive thing in the room is the kielbasa onion thing that flpa brings every year...

NIB if you do go Please wear your golf clothes... funny as a basteagd .. knickers,, little hat .. polo shirt .. I won't post pics ,,, honest ..:)

I hope to be Ross, I was worried about earlier in the month when they sometimes get a Sat. game, no problem is it's an AFC champ game, I'd walk there if I had to, been to all of the home ones so far.

Well, I was hoping to have it on a snowstorm just like the old days so January was my first choice so all you procrastinators, deal with it :grins:
Joe, it will be good to have ya , I WILL call you this year to remind you, count on it.

So, any conflicts with Jan. 23rd? (other than the prom queens not being ready)

I'd like to get the ball rolling earlier this year. thanks for the input you knuckleheads now go spin some wood:uhuh::fishin:

Is that a Sunday?? Cause I have church that morning???:angel::rotflmao:

me too but I'll got to 7:30 mass. I'll need the good lords help to be done by then most likely.

I'm disappointed. It will be a long haul through Feb with nothing to look forward to. That two month period after the new year was prime building time. Now it is down to 3 weeks, which kills any chance of building big numbers of plugs to hand away. :confused:

George....lets see how things go.....if winter is that bad I may invite a few guys over for an afternoon of spinning, swapping, and chewing the fat! Better yet....maybe we can get a few guys together and alternate "shops or man-caves" every few weeks all winter so we can all see how the other half builds???:uhuh:

you, slip, and flap are too tall for my shop. Way too many plugs hanging from the ceiling. Guess it will have to be 5' 8" and under at my place.:uhuh:


Again I am with the good doctor on this one I need the extra time. I will plead my case tonite when I drop by Slips. Pretty please works sometimes.

You would need a step ladder at my shop......either I build a cat walk for you shorties or its just the 6 footers and over! Be good having the under 6 foot crowd though....they can't reach the hanging goodies!:drool::drool:

don't bet on that, we are good jumpers. Got lots of experience at that. Can you say spud webb. Besides that is what they invented ladders for.

I don't want anything changed on my behalf. Less plugs and more socializing can work fine.

I like that idea, but it may get crowded

It doesn't matter to me when we have the plugfest, you guys want to decide? nothing will get decided then, that seems to be the way this site works with that sort of thing. We had no problems before having it in December, I don't see why late Jan. or early Feb. will be a problem. We can always have it in April and make it a flea market at the same time. I'd like to find some time to make a few plugs also, but if I don't it's no big deal. I like exchanging ideas as much as plugs.

They are all too tall for my shop too... they'd be whackin their noggins of plugs, roda or an air handeler... but they'd all be welcome anyway..

I would like to have a few guys over sometime.......lets see how the season plays out!

Slip is absolutely right. It will be March before we agree on a date in the forum :smash: . We used to have this even earlier.

Dates to choose:

January 23rd (SABBIT is scheduled on this day and I would love to go but Plugfest takes priority)
January 30th (my preference and between AFC championship and Super Bowl - just saying)

Jan,. 30th sounds good to me John

what is SABBIT?

See sticky top of main forum!

January 30th it is. All you girly men whiners (Numby & ProfM) better get yur priorities straight and start building.:smash:

You aren't going to get any more big fish this year so give it up face reality and hit the lathe.:uhuh:

Since that last 30 pounder I got Thursday night w/ 2naMike I have had dismal fishing so if I can't catch you guys surely are wasting your time in that endeavour (notice the english style spelling of endeavour?)

Get busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sauerkrut got a 31lber on Friday I heard so there are still a few around if that is the endevour you speak of

what's that?

I'll be putting up another thread when I can about more suggestions, helpers, etc.

I can help Bruce. We will need to put a thread up about the contests and things that people will need time to complete so they can get going? Just a thought.

I am going this year!! Whenever!

OK, we think we have a hall large enough - the Fraternal Order of Eagles hall 39 Cohasset Ave Buzzards Bay, MA

2 dates are available to choose from, it makes no difference to me. Feb. 13th and Feb. 20th

good job Bruce on getting that done
