Had a great time this Sunday, thanks to all.

We're going to reserve the area inside the fence for sellers setup only, so there should be plenty of room Teddy. We'll park the buyer's/browser's along the east end of the lake and let them walk unless they want to pay $5.00 for the vendor pass.

[sailr]

I sure hope there isn't another function going on that day.

I just hope we have a good turnout of airplane people. I started going through my battery collection last night and have put together a bonanza of small 3 and 4s lipos from planes I no longer have.
Found a few esc's that I'd forgotten about having as well. Even a nip Turnigy marine HV80.

Well I finally got the opportunity today to stop by ACE Hobbies in Venice and drop off a couple of fliers. I spoke with Dave (the owner) and and he was very receptive of both our club and, the swap meet fliers. He said he gets people in there all the time asking about local clubs and r/c activities. I told him some of our club members were also into planes, helis, cars, trucks, etc... so I hope that will help to yield the kind of turn out we're hoping for at the swap meet.

He also asked if WFMBA had a news letter, to which I responded, "not yet".... any thoughts on the news letter aspect....?

It would be cool to work towards that. Thanks for getting the word out Chris. Greatly appreciated.

Good deal Chris. I'm hoping the weather is good enough this coming weekend to justify a trip down to the SRQ facility so I can hang a hard copy flyer. I sent one of the pdf's to the club president when we 1st made it up and he forwarded it via email to all the SRQ members. Still, a little reminder as the time gets nearer is good for us folks that suffer from crs.

On the newsletter, I'd say just refer folks to our website. It get's updated frequently and I've started adding the same text descriptions used in our run day reports here to the imbedded vids there.

That's basically what I did.
