I was just at a bottle show and talked to and spent time with members of this forum, people I talk to all the time on the internet. Thing is I didnt know it!
Does anyone else feel the we need to organize and personalize this forum? I talked to Roger years ago about buying the forum to revamp and organize it, he wasn't interested because he didnt want to see anyone have control over it which I understood completely.
The problem with that is that this forum is the largest bottle club in the country, and there is no representation at shows, no personal experience, its all on the internet except for when forum members make pre-show plans to meet up. I think its time to take this forum to the next level, put a face on it, have a table at every show, possibly sponsor our own show? Does anyone else feel like taking this to the next step? We would need regional reps, a president, vice pres, treasure and fund raising. I actually developed a business plan for the forum years ago, and even if we were not to organize an individual club shouldn't we at least join the federation as a club? Possibly merge with the federation?
