"To anyone who has never been to one of these meets, they are the most laid back get togethers you'll ever experience. No pressure, just hangin' out with friends, including the ones you haven't met yet.
Even if you're just curious about it, but don't have any gear (yet; you will after you attend, trust me), just come and hang.
We're currently locked in for Saturday March 23rd at our previous meeting space. Post your thoughts, and what gear you'd be bringing! Same stuff applies regarding used gear sales/trades, etc; please read the slightly-modified copy pasta below.
*We ask that you stop at the table at the room entrance to sign in. We'll issue you a nametag to list your name and Headfi name.
*At the sign-in table, you'll be issued a single raffle ticket at no cost so you may have an opportunity to win a plethora of gear we'll be giving away to a few of our lucky members or guests. We do ask that you're in attendance to win please. If you step out for lunch or whatever you may be doing, please just make sure you're back in time. We'll hold the raffle at 3PM sharp!
*We'll also issue you however many index cards you'll need so you can note your equipment that you brought, so our members can easily see what gear they're looking at on your table.
*We'll also have a poster hanging at the back of the room for you to list any type of gear you want to sell and for what you're selling it for.
