Two members won't be able to make the outing today. But they contacted me one way or another. Thanks guys for giving me the heads up. See the rest of you later today.
Directions:
From the Turnpike:

Exit 5 (Chicopee) Follow the Montgomery St. Sign. At the end of the access road, take a right. Go straight through the lights at the intersection. The Amvets is on the right about a quarter mile down.

From Memorial Ave.(rte 33):

At the lower(southern,near the Hue Ke lau)Westover rotary, take Granby
Road(left if traveling north, right if going south) to the lights at the intersection of Montgomery St.(first set you come to). Take a right, and the Amvets is a quarter mile down on the right.

From 91:

North or South, take exit 12 (rte 391) take the 2nd exit(Exit 3, Granby Rd.), the same one you would take to the Chicopee boat launch on the river. Take a right at the end of the ramp, go straight at the lights(up the hill), through the lights at Grattan St.(a double underpass), and then you will come to a double set of lights. Go through the first, and take a left at the second set(7-11 on the left and Gas Station on the right). Amvets is
a quarter mile down on the right. The Amvets is right about where the o is on the word Montg o mery.

As far as food goes I think we are gonna keep it pretty simple for the first time around, and may order a bunch of pizza's if that is okay with everyone. Its a easy clean up.

[JeffA]

[Jackie-T]

I plan on being there.

[Toad]

Will be there.....with bells on.

[seabass]

im in.Grinning1 my family is getting together so it will be for the first or second half of the game.Beerchug
unless somebody is wearing bells

[fisher16]

My wife will be attending this event as well. She says she can't wait to meet all of you guy's and girl's.

[Fishstory]

I'm 100% there!!!!!!!

[buckmanjr]

I will make my dad be there. So count us in. Save some rootbeer for me!

[CRAPPIEHAPPY]

I will be there. Sounds like a good time and the AM-VETS is an old stomping ground of mine. The only thing that will prevent me from being there will be if there is safe ice anywhere. Great Idea

[buckmanjr]

Wait, just realized its an over 2 hour drive. I dont think we will be making this one.

[Crazy Joe]

I will be there.Beerchug

[Jackie-T]

Can I have a street address? Can my son come as my driver he is 19 dosent hunt or fish does race motorcycles If not then I will just leave before it gets dark. Do we bring eats? Like a potluck?

[ThomT]

will try and make it all depends if someone deciedes to take the day off. THomt

[fisher16]

Can my son come as my driver he is 19 dosent hunt or fish does race motorcycles If not then I will just leave before it gets dark

Jackie T I think you will be able to let me ask Gill Finn and I'll get back to you. I think the age issue isn't a problem with this event.

As far as food goes I think we are gonna keep it pretty simple for the first time around, and may order a bunch of pizza's if that is okay with everyone. Its a easy clean up.

Currently we are also discussing holding a Raffle if anyone would like to bring a prize to donate that would be great. This idea was brought up by Mack, and dicussed with Gill Finn, and he's given the thumbs up. I believe raffle tickets are gonna be sold for a $1.00 per ticket. The prize donations can be fishing/non-fishing related. The money raised from the raffle will go directly back towards the site. For items such as Trophies, Plaques, or Awards for Members.

We may also have to pay for the room. The price hasn't been determined yet. When Gill Finn gets the final amount will post it up. The price won't be that bad and we may all just have to chip in $5.00 to $10.00 per person depending upon turn out for this event due to renting the room on the second floor.

If anyone would like to bring a prize please reply in this thread. I would like to keep the prizes secret until that day. For example reply "Yes I would like to bring a donation for the raffle", and the list would be updated.

[JeffA]

my wife and i (BadBassBabe) will be running the raffle, we already have a few prizes ranging from fishing stuff to scented candles, so even if you can't donate anything, just buy a few tickets, like fisher16 said, it will all go back into the site, i think i idea of getting trophys and things like that is a great idea!
if you would like to PM me on donations, feel free.
thanks all!!

[fisher16]

Thanks Mack for taking the lead on the Raffle. The weather can't ruin this one its indoors.

[JeffA]

no prob.Thumbsup do you think you can ad the raffle to thread title? this way people know as soon as they see the thread, it may spark a few more members to show up.
thanksThanks Mack for taking the lead on the Raffle. The weather can't ruin this one its indoors.

[fisher16]

Once their up one of the mods or I can edit my first post and place them in.

Thanks Gill added them up to the top of the thread.

[tacoma]

What time is it going till...I won't get out of work until 3pm and would be coming from Greenfield? Worth going or will any be there???

[fisher16]

Thats a good question Tacoma. The game runs till 4:00 p.m. and I am sure some others will be coming and going during the game. But we haven't thought about the ending time.

I'll leave it up to Gill, since this is his place, and outing.

[knotreelly]

[GILL FINN]

The Pats/Bears game has been moved to 4:15. Bash1 Bash1

The meeting is still on for 1:pm. Downstairs at the Am-Vets. We should be able to get some serious debate going in the 15 minutes between pizza,Beerchug beer, Beerchug and sodaBeerchug (at least 2 rounds). I've got a couple of IdeasNotsure I'd like to kick around, I know Mack does too. Please bring an opinion with you.No idea is too far fetched for consideration, except adopting Scooby-Do or Spongebob fishing poles Fishing1 as official MaAnglers gear.

After the dust settles, we can watch the Patriots, led byYikes VINNY TESTEVERDE???Yikes , take on the new Monsters of the Midway(if they haven't collapsed by then)

See you there

I'll be running abit late, but as soon as my wife gets home from work, I'm there, unless I can find a sitter, then I 'll be there sooner!

Is the Raffle cancelled???? I had already picked up something, I don't know if others had also, but if they did and we still want to have it, it will be pretty easy...I have tickets, and a empty can to put them in, thats all we really need to have this!!! If you want to wait until another time thats fine also, but I'm bringing back the Loomis rod and Van Steel reelLaughing1 Laughing1 ....

[JeffA]

if you want to handle it, i can bring a few things also, but thats the best i can do right now.

[tacoma]

I can pick something up for the raffle also! It would be a good halftime event to hold a raffle! Unless we aren't going to have a big outcome?

[fisher16]

I've picked something up as well. I orginally cancelled it but if you guys still want to do it we can have it.

[tacoma]

How many people we looking at? Will we have a core group throughout the game? If so I say do the raffle..and if not then save our raffle items for the ice fishing outing...we could have a raffle then!

[fisher16]

See you guys tomorrow, Can't wait.

[Jackie-T]

Sorry guys I am going to have to cancell, family stuff.

[fishinbuddy]

Does everyone know that the strarting time of the Pats game has been changed to 4-4:15 so that it could be televised? Will this impact our start for the social gathering?

[fishinbuddy]

Does everyone know that the starting time for the Pats game is now something like 4:15 pm? Will this impact our starting time of our social meeting?
