The short discussion is under new business. It appears that some groundwork had been laid for a Club Station.

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.

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.

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.
