Old Salt,
I think that would be a wonderful idea.  Dinners are nice, but it is difficult to carry on conversations.  So if this is your poll, count me in.

I think it is a really good idea. It is hard to visit with everyone and this would allow for that. Line a wall with maps and let the dreaming begin.

OS - Even though I'm local, I'll vote for the room block. I'd definitely participate in group gatherings like that.

I'd also seriously consider a gathering at my house like we did a few years back. If I could count on decent weather like we had this year, I'd suggest a cookout on the deck  Thumbs Upup

Then again, that deck had 8" of snow on it this morning  Shocked Tongue

If we had a block of rooms, we could probably get a meeting room at the motel and order pizza.  We did this for a wedding a few years ago and it worked well.  Some motel have rooms they use for their free breakfast and those rooms are always empty in the evenings.  Whether we could drink beer in those rooms would have to be checked out.  Some motels have fairly large areas next to their pools. One downside of being next to a pool is that it can be noisy.  Anyway that is my basic thought.

I have the same idea, Westwood. I don't want any proximity to a pool, due to noise. I don't like yelling at my friends. The impromptu, unofficial QJ social committee will begin checking options. If any wish to join this austere group, let me know. We welcome your input. Cool

I would be likely to attend such a gathering. Would this be in lieu of an evening meal?

Hey, thanks everyone for coming. It was a good one, the weather cooperated and people seemed to be happy.

If you want a room block, let me know and I can see what sort of deal I can get since I am already negotiating prices for next year's rooms.  The Sheraton will have a regular room for $109, which is pretty dang good.  If you all have cars, the Country Inn right behind Rutabaga is run by nice folks and I bet I could have them comp a meeting room if you wanted to have a get together.

Anyway...back to work...

Gratefully,

Darren

P.S.  Canoes are back...we were way above our projected units for canoes. I think having North-bell-star back helped, we sold all but two of our boats that were supposed to last us until June.
