Pbug called me an we spoke about doing an online tournament. Sounds like a plan. I will create a new board just for this topic, and I'll even move or copy this thread there.

The Fruit Jar type gathers is also a great idea, and many of them have occurred in many states over the years. I have attended some, and brought some giveaways and such. Had great times. Here's a link to one I just attended in KY, the one Whiskers set up.

I have never arranged one myself, but I plan on attending more this next Spring, and I can see how they go. Anyone anywhere is welcome to arrange a gathering and announce it on the site. That's what Crappie.com is supposed to be about, gathering (online or in person), sharing information, and having fun.

My intention so far is to attend the Gathering at Lake Blackshear in GA on the 26th of March.
And to attend the Fruit Jar at Grenada on the 23rd of April.
I'll likely swing by the Pickwick event on April 2nd as well.

Lets have a great 2011.
