In the September issue of the Report, I mentioned the idea of having more than one meet up type of Regatta for the organization; I was wondering if there could potentially be three? One east coast, one central US and one west coast that could give folks in these areas a closer venue that they could attend. I've heard from a few people already that this had been considered before, and I wanted to put this idea out here on the forum and try to get some feedback about the idea. I know there's a strong west coast/northwest interest. We have the central covered with Carmel. The Regatta in Groton always pulled in a lot of members, so I'm pretty sure we can find something for the east side of the country.
I would really like poeple's thoughts on this. It takes some volunteers to pull these off, to be sure. But having something "official" in some geographically disparate areas seems like it would open opportunities up for the organization to grow and expose more people to the hobby.
All I can see that would be a bit tricky is having them scheduled so that the weather cooperates for each one.
What do you all think?
