[TVARC] FYI - Past work by K4VRC on a Club Station

Mon Jul 17 16:05:25 EDT 2017

The Villages subsequently denied us any space in the new El Santiago rec center.  We were offered the use of a lot behind the woodworking shop on Rolling Acres.  They failed to recognize we needed electric power.

John:

The following is the minutes of K4VRC for
Sept. 17, 2013, which reported a presentation given to The Villages (Rohan) on
establishing a club station in the update of El Santiago
Recreation center. The short discussion is under new business. It appears that
some groundwork had been laid for a Club Station.

Hi Earle,   

Once again, plowing up snakes, I'm good at that. 

One thing I would like for you to do at this Club meeting is to appoint
a couple of folks who would actually work
with me toward formulating the game plan to make this club station
thing a reality.   

A lot of folks say "you should do this" and "you should
do that," but never lift a finger to actually help with the
process.. 

When you appoint these people, please emphasize that we will ACTIVELY
have to meet and work and not just be named to a committee and do nothing.

See you 2nite,   

73,

Hi Folks,

Here is my 2 cents worth for today:

We obviously have some people who are interested in a club station - I wonder how many and how
interested? 

Step one, I believe, is to answer that question. 

We could start by a simple show of hands at a club meeting however I
believe a wider and more in-depth approach would be better. The question is how
to reach as many members as possible. To that end, a mailing to all 203 members
might be considered. In such a mailing we need to define at least briefly what
we envision for a club station and then ask for responses and ideas. Survey
questions need to be brief and leave options for answers we didn’t think
of. Some folks prefer on-line surveys so perhaps we could both. In any case K.I.S.S.

Let us start by defining the club station as we (this group who have
responded by email) would like to see it:

Where will it be,

How big,

What modes would the station support,

How is it to be funded and who gets to use it? (Sticky wicket
this) 

Naturally there are many other questions to be answered but this survey
of club interest in a club station needs only to be a simple as possible to get
the answers we are looking for.

The Village
wood shop has no spare space at all; they are constantly having people storing
wood or projects take their stuff home to make room for work space.  I
think George has the right idea; setting out what we ideally want and going for
it.  Our needs, even for an ideal station are much less that those at the
wood shop.  The Villages built the building, and purchased the initial
inventory of all the tools(many lathes and drill presses, planers, jointers,
routers, an elaborate dust collection system) and they provide the
utilities.  The Club maintains the tools and replaces equipment as it
wears out.  The Village recently increased the size of the parking lot to
about double the parking.

The Villages
wood shop might be a good location.  I don't know if there's a closet or
anything there, but I believe a garden club grows vegies  behind it. 
It's in an industrial area, so it does seem like a reasonable tower of some
kind shouldn't be a big issue.  At least if common sense prevails. 
It is accessible by golf cart.
