At the meeting we discussed setting up in ADVANCE all meetings and locations...we were/are discussing QUADRANT locations...therefore people up in the Woodlands will have at least one meeting in the North area every 4/5 months.
We are hoping that we can find a place that will be able to sit a large group, at one table(s), comfortably, (House of Pies was a little tights for even 5 folks).
Some locations to consider, I believe if we meet at "Icehouses/Honky Tonks/Nightclubs" (places without "slime in the ice machine" PLEASE!!!!) in late afternoon we have access to beverages, food...laid back atmosphere...and taking our money to smaller business -vs- large franchises.
Maybe we can meet at someone's home, and we can have a food group to defray the FOOD burden on the host.
Those were some suggestions that were tossed around.
I suspect the NEXT meeting will be in the CENTRAL area ~ Saturday at 3 pm January 19, 2002. In keeping with a SCHEDULE folks can take a pen to their calendar and make notes on time and places.
I will be pushing for a meeting at the Mucky Duck http://www.mcgonigels.com/...nice English Pub, great food...excellant beer from around the world...and great coffee too. Smoking is tolerated.
I'm going to start clearing my calender for January 19. A thought - there are many non-Houston FReepers in the area. I understand we are still in search of a name and it would be nice to have the Sugarland, Woodlands, Kemah and others feel at home. Okay, Stafford, too.
I suggest, in order to keep the IRA off of us, you refer to it as an Irish Pub! ;-)
Radio City in San Leon, owned and operated by jpsb. :) Find our web site by searching for "Radio City San Leon".
Would you consider meeting some time in the 1960/Champions/249/Spring area?
