Marvel:Since I've never been part of any "club" on SB, I really don't understand the attraction. If there is a planned dive or a happy hour in Orlando or Tampa, I would hope that it is also inclusive of the rest of the state...& visiting membership & not just confined to a select few who happen to reside within a limited geographical location. Personally, I've met some wonderful people from around the state, the country, & even from around the world simply by posting an open invite & seeing who shows up.
I keep seeing a repetitive theme that "clubs" are seen as exclusive on here..
since i'm a relative (outspoken) newbie to SB, can someone fill me in as to what happened in the past that made them that way?
my campaign in my signature (as i've said multiple times in multiple places) is just to have a place to easily find other divers who live in the orando area and welcome and assist those coming thru town find their way to the closest dive spot.
(as most of our dives originate in orlando since we have to drive to dive generally. i dont know 'bout where you live but gas aint cheap!)
there is ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION in being exclusive whatsoever...something i thought that was inherently understood by posting plans on the internet for everyone to see.
you peeps (thats for you, 427dave ) should know by now that i will dive anywhere, anytime, with anybuddy (i believe there's a shirt for that)! and that's how i intend for the thread/club/sub-forum/peeps place to be maintained as well.

wait! i've had an "ah ha"... so you're saying that instead of "Orlando Area Meet N Greet", I should have named the thread "Meet N Greet in Orlando" symantics, i tell ya!
