TFCTFN ?? Where to go ?
Time to plan for the annual TFCTFN 2006 (Too Friekin Cold To Fish Night). For those that don't know, we as S-B'ers rent a hall (next to a hotel) and meet up and BS, have a dinner and BS, and a raffle and a pretty good time - we even sometimes bring significant others   . It is also a good way to break up the winter.
My thinking is to find to a place central to Boston, CT, RI, and the Cape most centrally localized by our population on the site. So New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton seems to be central to all and I also want to find a hall next to a hotel for obvious reasons (so as to deter drunk driving  ) and to accomodate out people that come from all over...
I am looking for suggestions and leads to find something, preferably in that area, that is situated walking distance close to a hotel/motel that we can group rate on.
Thanks!

Centrally located
John it is very kind of you to try for a hall more in the middle of us all. I have been to the Lafayette Club before. My wife works in Taunton and her coworkers rent various places and thats one we've been to for different things and it was fine. The Stone Forge is a great place to eat also as mentioned by MrMacy.

Based on experience, we have 5 kids, the due date is the day that you are most likely not to have the baby on... |

OK so is it Feb. 18th????  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

John, that is correct number. I just spoke w/ Steve. He is there all day Wed. and Wed-Sat nites. He said that he was told that we are "golden", sort of a compliment.
I'll PM you regarding price and terms titled "VFW hall" |
