I did a head count at various times at the last three cookouts. Last year I counted 380 heads around 2:00pm. So Bill I don't think you have to worry about attendance. More likely we have to plan on a larger venue for next year. Like the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando!

Bill there were plenty of attendees from the 1715 Fleet guys including the great John Brandon and even Erich Schmitt let John handle a 1715 eight escudo royal. He wouldn't let me near it!

LOL...i know, what I meant was that no one feels compelled to post here.

[PetesPockets55]

Is anybody out there?

Only 3 Saturdays from Now. Yikes, where has the time gone?

John, Is there any need for pulled pork.
Is there a list of items or help needed we can volunteer to do or bring?

(BTW-I'm trying to remember to ask a local co. about a portolet.)

 

[agflit]

Pulled Pork is good. Any spare tables and chairs, Coolers and ice, firewood for the grills that are in the pavillion, a pocket full of money and your smiling face. Bill might think of something also.

 

[diverlynn]

I’ll bring 2 tables, cooler 4 cases of water and lots of baked beans. Something for the auction as well.

 

[agflit]

Thanks John... got to go raise a 60 ton crane that was pulled off a barge while attempting to salvage a 600' shot of chain and anchor that Carnival Cruise lines managed to lose. Gonna recover the crane..( wtf..it's junk now...) than raise the chain and anchor from 100'.
