Gentlemen,

when is the next one due?

Bob

At this point it's in the planning stages, I'm looking into seeing if there are enough members interested in making it a week-end affair this time. the 1st was a 1 day event and we all had a very good time. Weather co-operated and the fishing was good.

If there are enough members, I'll see what we could do to get a group campsite for the week-end. I beleive you have to have at least 12 people. For those who can't or won't rough it there are few hotels down in Greenwood Lake. Again I 'm not sure if you want to come back to Wawayanda or do you want to go elsewhere.

Check out the pics from the 1st one if they are still available otherwise I'll post them again.

Hi

I would like to know more about the next meet.

I'm interested in attending.  And seeing  any Pics from the last one would be nice if you ever have the time to repost them.

Glad to hear that you're interested. would also like to hear from those who attended  the 1st. Would you like to do it again? At Wawayanda or elsewhere?

I know the holidays are upon us, and everyone is busy so let me know as soon after New year's as possible. this way we can figure out what everyone wants to do.

Larry

LOL  Well it's after new years, I'm still interested in the meet.

I hope we get a very large group !!!

Sorry, you haven't heard from me in awhile. I've had some medical problems that laid me up for almost 3 months. I'm up and around now, but will not be able to organize the meet this year. I'll be more than glad to assist in any way possible. I still have the banner from last year.

Is Chong still around? I know that He would help and if any that attended last year would be willing to help we could try to get this off the ground again. Would you want to go back to Wawayanda again or does anyone have a better idea. Let me know what you guys want to do. You can e-mail me at bugmannj@hotmail.com.
