Yes John. First, a show of hands of everyone who would want to have the bash in or near Gulf Shores, AL, and when. Then we can talk about possible options for extra activities. I will be at the Frank Brown Festival, usually starting the Sunday before the festival, leaving the last Sunday of the festival. So, if a majority would like to have the bash near there and around the time of the Frank Brown Festival, I'm in.
John, has anyone set up a new thread yet, dedicated to the next Ramp Bash?

PhilG,
If you check the list of forums ( as I hope everyone does ) you will see a thread for 2016 Bash was started October 25 .
If you are proposing an additional Bash in 2016 then I suggest you simply contact like minded folk privately rather than muddy the waters of the proposed 2016 thread.
If you are thinking 2017 then wait until the 2016 bash is out of the way. There is no set formula for a Bash other than a date and central point.
I repeat you need to decide what kind of bash you are thinking of and float the idea and get some kind of response to get an idea of possible numbers.
Maybe start here right in this forum via PMs with a location, possible venue, tentative date and format and see how it goes then work from there. If there is a good response then the idea can be floated wider.
If you are the only person who would attend from this forum then I suggest that the response is not going to be much better from the wider community.
I will take a look and see if I can pull out members who reside in those states that are close to the location you propose and they could be surveyed to see how much interest there is locally.
If you simply ask " who wants to go to a bash in Al , you are going to get loads of what, when, where, why, who, how much ,can I book a separate room etc etc etc " questions in addition to folk who say "I would come if this or that was part of it ".
There needs to be some ground work done first to support your proposal or the questions will drive you crazy and even if you provide a well thought out explanatory proposal you will still get loads of questions that are answered already in your proposal . )
It goes with the territory.:)
Go to it Phil :)
NB: In the case of Nashville there is plenty of history of previous bashes to be drawn upon and plenty of locals and folk who travel fairly regularly into town from interstate. Any other location will starting from the ground up.
