Help!! Holiday Party

Prob need to be some where central to everybody if you want people to come

 

Questions come up
1 ... members only, this would include spouse
2 ... location, time frame due to the season
3 ... time frame as all events this year were 2 hours plus away which brings more questions
4 ... raffle sound like a good idea, maybe limit 1 set per member, some like the small prizes while others like larger
5 ... vendors are always good

I think it would be a good deal and possibly a big deal. I have always like these events as lots of knowledge based people show up. This increases ones own knowledge for our hobby.
Only draw back may be the timeframe for some.

 

Guessing by the lack of responses on this, and nearing December this is now to late to plan for this year. I'm going to go ahead and get the ball rolling for Des Moines are to have a holiday party. It was a great thought, maybe next year with some planning in advance to December we could make this happen.

 

With all the December commitments everyone has I would suggest having in January. I believe DSM region has done this in the past. So not too late for this year in my opinion.

Earlier planning really might not help attendance because (speaking for myself only) it wouldn't trump other commitments (deer season, family Christmas, Work Christmas, wife's birthday, Christmas, New Years eve...) no matter how early it is planned. Whereas, when January rolls around the competing events dwindle drastically.

Just my $.02. Thanks

 

Well I'm planning a DSM area party. Started a thread in the Des Moines area tiled Help Des Moines / Ames haha

 

It's a good read also haha

 

Just a point of order the yearly budgets dont roll over so if you have your holiday party in Jan it will be next years region budget not this years at least thats the way I understand how it works

 

Actually (unless there's been a change in the last 2 years), that is the the one thing that the yearly budget has been allowed to roll over for (holiday party) - providing that the holiday party is in January.

 

Ok I stand corrected
