Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Meeting in Georgia

Frank how many have signed up so far?

Greg

I have 17 so far counting you, and Lusk's group. Of the 17 one or two seem "iffy"

Frank

Ok I will mention to more folks about the meeting. BTW thanks for advice on the picture I posted not making it I deleted topic.

More details are avialable at http://www.frankpinkston.com/pondboss.html

Frank do you think it is a good idea if you have a way to post roster of those on list as coming? I was going to invite some pond owners who are PB memebers but not active on here but did not know if already coming. List of those expecting would help. thanks

Frank

Do you need any money I will gadly give if it is needed!!! Lets make this into a yearly event!!

big_pond

I like making it an annual event. Thanks for the offer to help on $. I'll let you know.

Frank

An anonymous donor has volunteered to sponsor the Georgia meeting costs, including rental of the facility, snacks for breaks, and a modest lunch.

In lieu of a charge to attend the meeting, the donor requests that each attendee make a contribution to Bob Lusk and his family. We will "pass the hat" at the meeting. Maybe in some small way the group can assist Bob and his family in recovering from the destruction of their home.

Frank

Awesome idea and thanks to the donor.

I would be in too if the date can be the 18th or after. Prior we have a big show in Atlanta to attend. I can have a general presentation on pond aeration and have equipment for everyone to touch and play around with. Not only our product line but others as well.

Well I will SURE donate!!!!
We HAVE to make this an annual event!!! what it cost!!

Cary

We are set for Sat Feb 4 - plane tickets bought, etc so we cannot change the date. Sorry you cannot make it!

If you want to send some litrature I will be happy to pass it out at the meting. Email me and I will give you my snail mail address

Maybe you can attend next year.

Frank

Frank,

The show is the weekend after the fourth. I should be able to make it then if there is room for me.

Cary

We would be delighted for you to attend and discuss aeration and see your equipment. I am personally interested in what this would do for my pond. Unfortunately I do not have power at my pond so I would need solar.

I have added you to the list of attendees. I look forward to seeing you on Sat Feb 4, 2006. See my website for a map. I will post more info there as it becomes avalable. http://www.frankpinkston.com/pondboss.html

Frank

We now have folks attending from 8 states.

AL,FL, GA, MS, NC, OH, TX VA

That is awesome.

Frank

Frank, I have been unsucessful in several attempts to email you about the Feb 4 meeting. Give me a call at (706)548-6583

We are only a month away from the Georgia Meeting. We are getting close to capacity so if you have not emailed me that you want to attend, email me now!

If you have already emailed me, you will receive a confirmation email shortly. If you think you are already on the list and do not reveive an confirmation email something is wrong, most likely I have an incorrect email address.

George Glazener has donated two of his famous Lady G’s $-Gill flies for door prizes. Greg Grimes is bringing an electro shock boat (weather permitting) for a demo. Deb from Ken's will be there. Cary Martin from Aeration Technologies and Ted Lea from ForeverGreen will discuss aeration.


Best of all Lusk and Otto will be there!

Will you?

Frank

Frank,
Great job! Next, we may want to set up an agenda, and designate a given amount of time to each subject, so we can keep a balanced and moving discussion. It may be a good idea to poll and see what the participants want to talk about, since this meeting seems geared to exchange information. Time will fly by, I promise.

Bob,

I have been working on agenda. Some topics have been suggested in the emails to me. You can guess most of them:

forage
structure
weeds/vegetation
renovation
aeration
and my personal favorite -- harvest/culling

I will send you a rough draft of the agenda/schedule in a day or so.

Wed will bring 68 degrees here and I am gonna wet a hook. We had really severe weather in Georgia yesterday and I need to survey the damage from wind. (At least thats the excuse.. )

Frank

Frank don't you think with Deb and the pros there we should have Georgia Giants as one topic

Thanks Bill, put me on the spot. I love you too.

I will be glad to bring some info on the GG's and briefly answer some questions, but with this being such a rocky subject as of late we might ought to set forth a schedule. Kinda do a redneck timeline of events with different time slots alloted for different subjects.
Just a thought.

Deb

Bill and Deb

Yes GG can be a topic as long as fisticuffs are avoided- LOL. I plan on developing an agenda with time line as Deb suggested

Frank

SSShhhhh.....This was supposed to be a secret....
