As a follow up to a post started by Jack Hilditch last month in the RV9 Section, we are putting out feelers as to who would be interested in visiting and hosting a RV project each month in the Southern Massachusetts area.
Because of contacts made through Jack's post, I had the pleasure of Capt. John, and 2 other RV builders visiting my project a few weeks ago. We all seemed to benefit from the visit, so it was decided to make this a monthly event when it was discovered that there are many more builders in a radius of around 50 miles then we realized.
The guidelines are as follows;
Meet once a month at a project site.
Be prepared to give a tour of your project and explain the reasons that you deviated from the plans in some areas if you did.
Be willing to answer construction questions.
Be prepared to meet new builders, and perhaps re-kindle the fire in some builders.
Keep the spacing of meeting places to about 1 -1.5 hour drive max.
Since I'm perhaps close to 90% complete, and I have heat in my hangar, I will have the pleasure of hosting the first meeting at New Bedford Airport.
Plenty of room if you want to fly in, and lots of room to park if driving.
We have to know who's planning on attending because of security at the T hangars, and how much coffee and doughnuts we need.
Details;
Place: New Bedford Airport, at Jack's T Hangar
Time : Sunday, Feb 24, 2008 10:00am till whatever
RSVP [email protected]
Rain or Shine or Snow
I'll forward complete arrival details upon receipt of registration.
I hope this will be of interest to all the builders in this area
Regards
Jack
