Should we continue to hold them every month, or every other month (alternating between sat/sun so everyone gets a chance to come out)?
What do you guys think?
As usual I will include a poll.

Also, Saturdays are much better for me.
Ok, I definitly think every other month is doable and needed. Rotation of Saturday/Sunday is fine as well unless its apparent that 10 people need Saturday and 1 person needs sundays... No since in rotation if it just means every other shop day has no one attending...
I agree with rocky, to a point, about the 3 month spacing. However, Im there anyway, so even if no body comes the shop was open reguardless. Only change is I have more donughts to eat.
So for now I vote to do the bi monthly rotation and see how it pans out. If every 3 months seems more resonable we can decide that in the future. Personally, I have a disassembled Jeep with a SHEEET ton of things to do on it; so as far as Im concerned lets do this every weekend or untill im broke... which means maybe another week or so.
If we do this next meet towards mid october then we should plan to do 3 months for the following because of the holidays and such. For January we can relocate if anyone else would like to host. I know Rocky had mentioned he would like to and its open to others as well.
Since we got a month lets take advisory comments on the date? It can be either Saturday , october 5th, 12th, or the 19th. I know I have a horsehow the weekend of the 25th-27th. But I think The Doghouse is good to go any other weekend. To everyone involved lets be proactive about the date selection. Lets get it arranged far enough in advance that folks can make the necessary arrangments to be able to attend.
