This section of the forums needs a bit more goin on.
As we discussed at BRG, we need to start working out dates and plans for the Fall GnC. Current ideas that have been tossed out: Doing it on a weekend when TN has an away game, doing it in late October to do the Dragon for our morning cruise, potentially doing a keg again (since it seemed like it worked out well last time), etc. So throw our dates and ideas and let's get the ball rolling.
Okay: So, now that I've had some sleep (and much needed coffee), I've edited this post to address the confusion in it and make amendments. We will, after GNC make posts and consolidate the information from the various forums. I'm only on 3SI and 3SGTO as well as our new Tn3S facebook group, so it'll be up to you guys to reach out to others on various other pages.
Fall GnC Plans:
When: To be determined (in this thread)
Where: Paul's House/Devil's Triangle
Why: Cause ain't no party like a Tn3S party.
Things to be determined between now and then: Date? Keg again? Food plans? Should we adopt those poor Ky3S folks? Do gingers really have souls, and if not are they still allowed to be part of TN3S?
Things to be discussed at the GnC (and therefore you should be thinking about now):
1) Doing monthly/bimonthly meets for cruises such as the Snake (Tricities area), the Ocoee River Run (SE TN), Happy Valley (Foothills parkway near the Dragon IIRC), and of course The Dragon (sometime during late fall to early spring when it's not as busy) and the Triangle (although we already do that for the GnC). Not familiar with Middle TN at all, so that'd be up to them to find roads out there if they want to try to get us that way.
2) Trying to get people from Western NC (Asheville area), southern VA (tricities and such), NW GA and NE Bama to join us to increase the size of the meets and get to know more people.
3) New logo. While Coop has printed the TN3S stickers, he has admitted we are looking for something different. We are thinking about also giving team member numbers. Lastly, we are looking to make a banner similar to GA3S, as well as shirts (or hoodies or whatever). So whatever you come up with should be applicable to all of those. I'll try to get info from him on what the requirements are as far as size and level of detail. For the stickers at least, you don't want a LOT of small parts because it makes it difficult to apply them. We may do a couple different logos, a simpler one for the stickers and a more stylized one for the banner and shirts and such. Since we don't have a plan for assigning numbers or anything yet, try to think up ideas. Idea was also floated to maybe put member names or nicknames on the back of the shirt, perhaps we could just rip off the Volunteers color scheme and style? :P
tl;dr of 3) Logo design. Stickers yes or no? Banner yes or no? Shirts yes or no? Colors?
4) Ways to get more 3S owners in TN involved
5) Uses for a Tn3S Facebook group? (I started one for us) I think probably easier to get people started on there than it is to get them to jump into using the forums personally. Should we have our own webpage/forum rather than having to bounce between multiple areas to get the info, or do we use the FB group as a consolidation point for information and plans?
6) Get cards or something printed to stick on the windshield of 3S cars in parking lots to get them to join in the madness?
If anybody brings up any other thoughts in the threads, I'll add them to this list.
