Why don't you guys set up a West Coast NERBs Gathering in either Temecula or in Del Mar? We've spokeen about it behind the scenes, this might be the jump start to putting it together.

Is anyone in this area interested beside Jerry & Randy?

Can you imagine a new builder walking in on Randy while at work? If that had been me I probably would have hung up my spikes immediately. What high bars for a newbie to luck up on! Mike do not miss these golden opportunities - I might just buy an airline ticket and go with you. Mark will probably tag along just to pick up another customer.

I'm definately up for a NERB style gathering - but we need a new acronym - SWERB, SCRB, I dunno, But I'm in......I know I was one of the guys "behind the scenes " talking to Billy about this a while back. If a venue is an issue, I'd be willing to host. If anyone else is interested, email me and we'll see where this goes. Randy, if you still want to host that fine with me - either way works for me .....Jerry

I'd be glad to host away if everyone else is willing to drive up here. I'm easy and can drive down there as well. Jerry how 'bout SWARM (South Western Area Rod Makers), LOL. I think I threw that one at Billy about a year ago.

Bill your certainly welcome as well.

OK Randy - you host this one, go ahead and pick a time and date - hopefully this will come together. Who else is in? Doing it in Temecula at Randy's place make it a little easier for anyone a little further north. Lets see if we can't get a few more.....SWARM lol - we'll figure it out at the first gethering.......

Temecula is a bit far for me to drive but I'd make one in Del Mar especially if you have good snacks and diet coke.........
