[J22-Fleet 1] End of A-series party

Wed Jun 10 12:14:52 CDT 2009

Cheap and easy food (provided free) is 80% of getting a series party done right. These events shouldn't be a huge burden. 

I love the jumpedy jump idea, but don't know how many kids will be there. Saturdays seem to have far more younglings. Gutter races are multi generational and could easily fill the remaining 20%.

  Suggestion: keep food simple. Burgers, buns, brats, potato salad, etc. are super cheap at Costco - buy those, then have boats bring desserts, plates, napkins, silverware. Get volunteers for set up, grilling, clean up and promotion. Kids activities is up to those with younguns. 

  Just a note - it is Father's Day, so I'd be wary of planning for too many people to hang around.

  Thanks for starting this,

  I was just about to send this plea out to the fleet as I was informed on sun by the board!!

  Any and all of the mentioned ideas sound great1

  We need to provide food, cook and  serve it. This also means we pay for it, I think we can squeeze it but the budget is thin. I'm ok with the bouncy thing but let me go over the check book with George before we commit. 

  Ideas for food???

  I was thinking ribs and corn? maybe to early to get corn? something easy is the idea.

  Volunteers to cook and serve are needed as well.

  I think Pete Ice has a gutter race track.

  I'll post a notice as we work this out.

        Thanks to Mike Miller for pointing out that I had the wrong weekend.  The 21st is the date, the weekend after the ADA regatta.

        So far I've had 6 positive responses and no negative.  Still haven't heard from the fleet captain, so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes.

        Stay tuned.  And thanks to those that have already stepped forward to help, I'll keep a list for now but will turn it over to JP ASAP.

        Mike

          Mike,
          Both the Blue schedule and the website schedule show the date for the A series party after the race on Sunday June 21, not the 28th! The 28th is the last race in the combined series champ.
          I am also not a good menu planner, but would happily assist in purchasing, grilling and serving the feast.
          Your idea of the family event with Moon Walk also sounds good, even though my family is well past that age.
          Mike

                  J22 Sailors,

                  According to the club schedule, the J22 fleet is hosting the End of A series party on June 28th.  I didn't get a chance to talk to Johny P on Sunday as he was serving on the protest committee; if he's already got plans this may be moot.

                  The word at the club is that our fleet has no social graces.  So, I propose a family friendly event...

                  If the fleet is OK with spending roughly $180, I'll take care of getting one of those big moon walk/bouncy things.

                  Nicolie mentioned face painting, I wasn't sure if she was volunteering or suggesting we find one?

                  Anyone else have ideas?  Model sailboat race?  Parent/Child Opti races in front of the club?  Maybe we should put the bar off to the side of the club rather than front in center in the patio?

                  I'm not good with food planning, so someone else please jump in.

                  If we have a good idea of activities and menu, I'll also make up some fliers for us to hand out this Thursday and the following to publicize the event..

                  Thanks,
                  Mike
