FE Regatta

Doug.........you suck. Just keep feeding the monster. It's like yer chumming the water for sharks. Hahaha.

I could see us doing it at some point. Not sure when. Can't say enough about the current MMEU gang. They've even talked me off the ledge a couple times.

One of our very active club members owns a restaurant 5 minutes from this location. We're in there all the time. Could work out nice if we wanted to do a banquet.

Doug.........you suck.

I think that it the nicest thing you have ever said to me Terry. I am deeply touched.

No pressure my brother!

I sprinkled some if that magic dust at the pond today. Nobody punched me in the face or anything.

Good work Terry, I too know the hard work and patience involved to secure water for us to play on.

Also, welcome to the IMPBA! I've been a member for 40 years and I can say it is definitely a "grass roots" organization run from the bottom up. Our strength is our members.

[T.S.Davis]

Our strength is our members.

This sounds familiar. I said in an email recently "An organizations character is defined by it's members...........". Both organizations with a few exceptions are the same good people. Those exceptions made a difference to us. Our club still has to vote on it but we've talked it to death prior so I don't see an issue. It's better for us anyway as there are no NAMBA clubs or races near us. We were it. 46% of the D2 members were MMEU club members. So about half the district was us.

Even if this site new falls through we still have our home pond and Shadow Lake for the Michigan Cup. We just like this site better. Ton of work to be done if we can land it. The access reminds me of Thread lake back when it was sketchy down on the flats. Minus the socioeconomic issues. This happens to be a really nice neighborhood.

That site at 50 points must have included some hoop jumping too.

The Michigan Cup......are you saying it might not be back at the Elks in Leonard

[T.S.Davis]

Not yet but maybe someday. Deffinately will be out there for 2017.

Speaking for me & my Family.....We love the Elks Club & pond in Leonard

[T.S.Davis]

I do too but it has issues. Some I lose sleep over some I don't. It works. Wish we could get a fireworks display like that one year. That was nuts. Best race ever. haha Runs about 10k to do that right though.

This other pond is so close to home for me I wouldn't have to stay on site. I probably would but I can be home in 10 minutes to take a real shower. 5 minute drive for Kenny. 5 minutes from Mr. B's restaurant. Try the wings. So good.

I have a number of State employees researching this other site on our behalf. No word yet. Nothing would be ready for 2017. So no worries Ken.
