ralph4hand Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I'd like to take this opportunity to both; 1. Thank You Dennis for the GREAT job you have done overseeing and developing these boards and 2. Thank You Mark for so enthusiastically "picking-up-the-rains" for this important tool from Dennis. I really enjoy these Forums and their continuously improving evolution. I'm very pleased that you plan to aggressively stay on that track. A suggestion for our consideration; Enhancing our Convention attendance with a "Convention Planning"(?) Threads aimed at; 1. Encouraging attendees to consider Room-sharing. 2. Facilitate Ride-shares for both the dive to the Convention and the Airport-to-Hotel Ive done both the above for years with a number of different IPMS members. I've never had a problem, made new friends, saved $$$, and enhanced my convention experience. Include other convention planning items. For example - my Convention Pocket Schedule (Excel format) I prepare each year ( listing my Meetings, Events, Appointments, Phone #s, etc.). I offered it (free) last year on the Forum. etc. A few other members have utilized the Forum for the all above but it's been on a catch-as-catch-can basis. Perhaps a more focused approach might increase member participation and better serve our members. Edited November 12, 2013 by ralph4hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetrolGator Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I see no reason why a pinned thread could not be created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph4hand Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Chris, Thanks for your quick response and Sounds Good to me Yes, "Pinning" the Thread will give it more focus. We'll see..... Please feel free to use anything from my proposal in the Thread Intro/description/prompt. TAKE CARE and see you in Hampton.

Guest PetrolGator Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 You too, Ralph. I'm REALLY hoping it works out. The wife and I have been wanting to make a trip to VA for some time. Buying models isn't a bad stimulus and hopefully I'll have something worth putting in the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph4hand Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Chris, Hope it works out for you. I grew up in Norfolk (but I've lived away from there for 50 years) and the Hampton Roads area has lots of great attractions. My top rated place for new visitors would be Williamsburg ( a short and easy drive from Hampton), with Virginia Beach #2. Good Luck and See you soon, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 You too, Ralph. I'm REALLY hoping it works out. The wife and I have been wanting to make a trip to VA for some time. Buying models isn't a bad stimulus and hopefully I'll have something worth putting in the show! Waddaya mean "you hope"? You've already took a Best of Show at one contest; you definitely have contenders for the Nationals! The closest thing I had to a contender was Dora and she fell flat on her barrel; figuratively speaking of course! You will surely place at the Nats in Hampton. I only wish I could be there to see it.

Guest PetrolGator Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I was in the right place at the right time, Mark. I'm proud of my "Best of" but there were plenty of others who could have won. I'm still in my infancy with the hobby with a lot to learn and tools to get. :) Your Dora is/was amazing. Don't kid yourself there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLoup Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hey, just because I'm pretty and like pretty things doesn't meant you have to get all personal, Gil. I mean, PALM BEACH? My fake tan ain't that dark! ;) PRETTY!? I just spit water on my monitor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
