Thread: Massachusetts Get Togetha?

I'm interested, but not in Boston proper- too much hassle to get in town, especially into Cambridge.

I'd go to Providence- it's further but faster. Where are we all from? How about a central location then?

I'm in Marlboro/Hudson (think 495/290/85/62 intersection)- My local gun club rents a hall I could look into the costs if the location is of interest. It would definitely be large enough for us with tables.

That sounds like it could definitely work.

Keep us posted!!!

Hey-

Sounds good to me. Gun clubs generally aren't uptight about loud noises...

So as of right now, we got a bunch of people. If Justme finds a place, cool. I'll in the mean time look into places near Providence to see how much/when etc. I think it will fall together that way if people just start checking out locations themselves (without booking) then get back to everyone here.

What's the date we're looking at? I'm
assuming March 15th, a Saturday,
would be ideal. The 16th is too close to
St. Patrick's day and a lot of places
could be holding something in their halls
that day, aside of maybe the aforementioned
gun club.

OK, here's the info: (and yes, I'm a member)

Riverside Gun Club Function Hall

• Available 7 days a week until midnight
• Seating for 150 people, capacity of 180
• Rental includes bartender and cleanup
• 30'X70' dance floor
• Bandstand
• Caterer and DJ available or supply your own
• Rental for 5 hours
• Non-member rental fee $300.00
• Club members rental fee $250.00

Getting the space should not be a problem if it is decided we want that. I think it can be had for less minus the bartender and self cleaning- gotta call them about that.

I'll check the local Moose hall too (smaller location but just down the street)

Looks cool. I just think it could be cheaper. I personally don't drink, so the bartender won't help me. If the price can't come down, I was thinking of some kind of less "frills" kind of place (dance floor, bandstand!). Either way, things are getting there it looks like.

I called a Legion Post in Grafton, about a mile and a half
from the Mass Pike exit in Worcester. It's $150 for
the hall and $35 extra if we want a bartender. It would
be for March 16th and it's for five hours. They open
at noon. I imagine we would have to move quickly seeing
it is St. Patrick's day weekend. The 15th is booked for
a corned beef dinner.

I'm not dedicated to the st pattys day weekend idea. I mean, any weekend could theoretically work. Just saying... That sounds better though.
