Early BG Event News

[rkreigh]

this is the early agenda for the NCM schedule. we are free to add more and I plan to do just that!! we are attracting the speakers for the seminars, and we will need to get 50 participants for the sat afternoon drags. I will have Dave open up a "store" for signing up and paying for the drags so we can measure the participation. come on out.

some other ideas are a trip to the WAH BAH steak house (thurs night)

naturally we'll have the pizza and beer registry sponsored party to open the gathering wed night.

I'd also like feedback on doing a poker run, and any interest in doing dyno pulls. can't wait for spring!!

please let me know your ideas so we can flesh out the schedule with the events YOU would like to see. thanks.
