Sounds reasonable to me.

Sounds great for Swap Meet on Saturday, 11.27 at Skyway. Should we do anything for publicity beyond just the forum???

Best regards,
Tim

I was just telling someone else that today.
If you want anyone to know about it, I would say yes.
Not sure what to do though.

Have some blank signs for the Swap Meet from Home Depot. If we get a decent day for EB I was going to take them down there and stick them in the ground. Unfortunately it doesn't look that good for the next few days. Think its worth a try even if we only get a few people. If the 11.27 swap proves to be a bust, we might hold another one in early January when the snowbirds come.

Regards,
Tim

Your idea is exactly what I was thinking would be the best way to advertise.

How about some flyers or a Facebook event page? (I don't think the rangers will go for signage on park property for something that's happening at Skyway.) I'm not trying to be a party poopster, but they have rules to follow.
I think we're going to pass on the refresher clinic until we get more instructor support.
One problem that's always prevented more meetings, events, cleanups, and *fun stuff* around here is simply not knowing if there's going to be 5, 10, or 100 people show up. Many, many things have gone by the wayside for this reason-There's zero communication among kiters and that needs to change.
I will make an effort to re-launch the "TBKA" site soon, which will hopefully improve the communication, participation, and kick up the stoke meter a few notches.
There's some pretty sweet tech stuff on there that will need further testing, but the framework is there and ready to rock.
I will try to get it updated this week and I'll post a link when it's ready.
Anyone who was testing the previous versions will have to re-register- sorry 'bout dat....I'm a newbie

Have not put up signs at EB as yet because we haven''t had any wind that would send kiters there. If we get anything on Friday, I'll put up the signs. Regardless of success of swap on Saturday, I think its worthwhile to hold one in the hope that it will grow from year to year. The ones we held in Chicago with a smaller kiting community than in Tampa Bay proved to be very successful. Over time I can see no reason while one would not work even better in Tampa Bay...
