I like the idea of a holiday party. My house is a bit small, or I would offer to host. But, if nothing better comes along, we can have it at my place (San Diego, near Poway).
In past years there was talk of meeting at some centally located restaurant, or a park or campground. We could even combine it with a short run, so that we are out of the trucks and socializing by lunch time. Someplace with some facilities would be nice, to encourage spouses and kids etc. that might not otherwise attend.
A few years ago we had the party at a business location, on a Sunday. That worked well because we had the streets to ourselves, no parking problems, and lots of space. That particular spot is no longer available, but maybe we can find something similar.
As much as I hate to drive there, someplace around Riverside would probably be pretty centrally located for the club. Does anyone know of a spot around there that might work? But then again, Mitch has a pool at his house.
