Fall SOBB

lamrith - 24-10-2011 at 09:27 AM

Just throwing this out there..

WBB does it 2x a year, and it seems to be working?

Any thoughts on Adding a Fall event for SOBB, or do we already do it? Challenge out here in Pac NW is the rains, which could but a "damper" on things... Maybe do it in May/June?

Your right about the rain in the fall and it might be difficult to schedule an event. May thru June sounds like good times and I am sure Phill would open up buggy camp whenever we needed it. 2012 is the 10th year for SOBB and it would be a great time to start SOBB2. What dates in May or June does everyone want to use?

What makes you think SOBB ever ends? LoL
Labor day weekend is just the offical kick off weekend for the year long event.

Is May 24 just a Canadian holiday ?

An event that includes that weekend would work good for us to come down?

That's right around Memorial day for us. How appropriate to have it that week since we have the other on Labor Day. What is usually referred to as the beginning and end of summer.

Lets plan something around that time!
3 days or 9 days, hmmm lets see, I know CSA wants 9 days...
Lets make this happen!

May 21 - 23 2012 would be the Cdn long weekend.

I'd certainly be keen to engage in more SOBB goodness then. :wee:

May 19th - 27th sounds good any objections?

Ten days in May sounds good. Tides look better for Memorial Day than Victoria Day.

WooHoo and it's not a holiday week for me so I can get the time off work!

If we go with the 19th-27th....

This is fantastic news!
It looks like we are going to have a gathering!
Excellent time for wind too

I have been called the instigator in the past, not sure what people mean by that :-p
