ok i just got back, they have no problems with it. yes food is there about a 3 min walk from parking lot. you can take beverages adult or other into the parking lot.
the rest / bar does close at 9pm. so i think sat or sun would be the best option, though it will be more crowded depending on the activitys going on at the sports facitility.

I think everyone agreed that the 7th or 8th worked. So, let's lock the 7th down for this location.
Swoope, can you make reservations for dinner around 7-8ish? That way we can meet and avoid conflicting with their dinner hour.
Also, will you find out if we can reserve part of the lot (back or front) for the cars to all park together since you said it would be busy?
Our head count seems to be a strong 16 and may grow as the date nears.

dont mean to bitch. but the 8th would be better. it is a sat???? fri traffic, into disney from tampa is not good. they have a private area that i think i can reserve when we get a date down.
i will have to check there event schedule. the parking lot should not be an issue lots of parking.
mantis i will pm you about this by wed.

sounds great! pick a time for the Saturday meet.
EvilMiata and I will work on creating some business cards to hand out when you see an 8. You know we are working on the Florida RX-8 Club site, so we can have a little more interaction with our locals. The domain is flrx8club.net and is currently under construction. We will make some cards with the club name and domain, as well as a temporary link to the SE forum on this site until things get rolling.
BTW guys. Mazda in Clearwater has contacted Guy321 and myself to host the March meet at their location. They will provide food and plenty of items for raffle to coax the group to their location. It is being hosted by their parts guy and he is working on getting competative pricing on the Mazdaspeed parts that are coming out as well as what we already can buy. I think he would match any price out there on stuff and they would provide free shipping to their shop, which isn't bad if you are looking for a kit, or MS wheels that are heavy. That dealer has Castrol, Bridgestone and their local paint shop (painted my gas lid) coming to the event which will also be pretty cool. I am always down for free stuff and food. Does this interest you guys? He is sending out flyers to their RX-8s but wanted to invite us personally since we are the enthusiasts.....which really translates to....we are the buyers of mods.....the date is March 4th.
I was thinking we could do this event like the rotary meet we went to in Orlando in October. We could find a large hotel room for the Orlando folk and those who want to drive over, but not rush back. We could all go down to Ybor city and enjoy the evening and drive back the next morning to avoid the traffic. When we did this last time, we each spent about $20 for the hotel room and went to pleasure island. Can you guys give me some feedback? Thanks!!

you pick the time, i am going to take the night off of work... i think early afternoon makes the most sense, daylight and warmth.
i will see what i can do about reservations. they really dont take them, but they have an extra room we might be able to get.
i wll check the date with them wed when i get back in town.
