[PVRCNC] Meeting location change?

[ko7x@att.net]

I have not posted to the reflector in a long while so I hope this works.

As a newcomer to this chapter let me say that after being a member of many 
clubs over the years (46 years, to be precise) I have attended meetings in many 
different types of locations. From schools to banks to lodges to restaurants 
there are lots of choices out there. Guy's list is excellent and those items 
need to be kept in mind if we proceed.

When I joined the NCCC we met in a meeting room in a bank. I think one of the 
members worked for the bank and had free access. After the meeting we retired 
to a nearby pizza joint for the BS/technical/brag/war story discussions. The 
Southern California DX Club met for many years at Clifton's Cafeteria in 
downtown Los Angeles - as unlikely a locacation as you can imagine but the 
attendance was consistently above what you might expect with people driving in 
from places like San Diego and Santa Barbara. In the beginning, the SCCC 
meetings moved around the member's homes and I hosted one of those in the 
early '70s.

It is now possible, with the lack of a meeting attendance rule, to make some 
other changes besides location. Perhaps 6 meetings per year spread out over 12 
months might work (every other month, for example) and I would be interested in 
an all PVRC chapters meeting up in Virginia somewhere over a weekend. That is 
how the West Coast DX convention in (Visalia/Fresno) California came to be - it 
started out as a meeting of members of the Northern and Southern California DX 
club. Everyone always looked forward to the Sunday breakfast to see how Frank, 
W6AOA, the perennial MC, was surviving his hangover... Frank was usually a good 
sport and it was quite a show.

For what it's worth Ryan's is satisfactory and works for me.
