Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention Planning
Frank,
Great ideas here. We may be able to rent a day-tent or awning of some
kind down there. Umbrellas make good personal shade as well, and lots
of sunscreen lotion. Northern boys can burn up pretty quickly so I'll
be bringing lots of sun protection of various kinds.
We already have a PSUBS banner (Ray has it currently) and we can string
that up. I also like the idea of a patch or t-shirt specific to the
event. We'll need someone with artistic talent to step up and offer
their services to design something for us. I can do stick-figures, but
that's about it. I got an "F" in art my Junior year in high school
(not kidding).

Water depth for our convention is probably better if it's fairly
shallow. Because the water's warm and the sun will be
blazing......we'll be able to swim with the subs so everyone can get
some good pictures. If we are able to secure a barge, we'll need a
canopy or some shade on board to protect us.
Can you check and see if it's possible to rent a pontoon boat for the
day ? A small motor boat would be a good idea if it's available. We'll
need transport on/off the barge just in case we need a quick transport
to shore.
As the time gets near, we'll need to set up some minimum equipment
requirements for the subs. Things like.....radio, marker floats,
bumpers, signals that we all can memorize, some type of submerged
comms, divers, extra tanks, .......JEEZ, the list can get quite long.
We may want to think about collecting some additional dues to pay for
this thing.
Maybe we could rent a couple of motorized dinghys for use as runabouts
for the day.
How about a Psubs banner mounted on the barge railing ? Could make a
good backdrop for pictures.
Maybe a small "patch" to commemorate the event. ( I survived the psubs
convention, 2010 ) or lapel pin.
We could sew a patch on our favorite baseball cap.
Just thinking out loud.
