TFCTFN ?? Where to go ?

[JohnR]

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!

John

John:

I will give you the telephone book of both New Bedford and Fall River if I see you at the meeting if that makes any difference.
What comes to mind is the Days Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) in New Bedford 508-997-1231, it has it all including live entertainment, bar, sleeping quarters, swimming pool, function rooms.Trust me this is the best that comes to mind for New Bedford area.
Providence to I195e to 140N to Hathaway Rd. exit to 500 Hathaway rd.

VFW #2892
109 Middle Rd
Fairhaven
508-997-1707 <==== Steve

I called Steve at the VFW and I indicated to him what we do and he said it would be fine. He was presently putting a fresh coat of paint on walls.
It is very very similiar to the American Legion in Fairhaven in fact it is about 1/8 mile away if that and close enough to the Express Inn in Fairhaven.

Please ignore the above, my mistake, it is the VFW.

JohnR:

VFW is alive and well. Steve Murry is the person in charge. He is expecting your phone call.

The same room of previous years TFCTFN has a fresh coat.

How about the Red Roof Inn,the Holiday Inn or the Marriot Court yard which is next door to Picadillys Pub.All are in Mansfield,MA.located on RT 140.95 & 495 are just seconds away
Mansfield also offers the Elks Club I know some Elks so that'll help on the rent$$ plus there's a VFW both are 1-2 miles away from the Ho-Tells

I think it is fundamental that we have kitchen access and most important based on previous years' results, a hotel in stumbling distance and within the reduced visual field of view created when someone helps themself to a night at the baaaahhhhrrrrr.... In my semi-professional opinion 1500 feet would be too far from the hall to the hotel . So, if the Holiday Inn will let us BACK (excercise room) after the past three years, maybe we will do it there again

I have to make this one.....

I think I smoothed things over with the cop last year, so we should be all set. At least that's what it looked like in the picture...

[Clammer]

WTF / Lets blow it this year

The real estate broker that i am associated with was the previuos owner of the Holiday Inn, formerly the Seaport Inn. If you have a problem do not hesitate to let me know.
Sometimes it is who you know and at times it does not matter.

Ahhh you're just saying that,cause you just wanna check her out again

She told me,she's confident enough in our relationship that she dosn't think she needs to be there and watch us talk about our wood

[GBOUTDOORS]

John the V F W is going to be open for rent if you wish. They will also open the bar for us but you must pick a date NOW if you wish to do it there this year. The kitchen will also be ok to use the only thing is they will need to know NOW to save the date as they will be renting the hall out to a resturant in town and can save dates but must know SOON to hold it.

[Krispy]

This is all I remember, and about as focused too
