To start this off, Jay has final say so over everything - he is letting us have it at his place again. So what he says goes.
Also, we will have to do things differently this year. We need to be better orgainized and we need to have funds (for Jay) before the event starts. There is no need for him to spend a dime out of his own pocket to get this together. A good number to shoot for would be 1500 bucks, which would cover costs of port-o-potties, gas, deisel, oil, chains for chainsaws, line for weedeaters, etc etc etc. Basically pay for everything so Jay doesn't spend money on getting the land ready or for supplies before the event, during the event, and after the event.
So, we have somewhat of a strategy, but we will need lots of opinions.
First thing is we need to create a Ram Jam Committee. Jay is the pre-elected King of this committee, unless he doesn't want to be, then he will pick who is. The committe members have to be at Ram Jam, so don't volunteer if you don't know if you are going.
Once we get that straight, we will then try to think up a good game plan for Ram Jam. This one has to be smooth.
We also need to think of a way to get people to contribute before hand. There were some very good ideas posted before about a package to be sent off. We need to think of a way to have people pay for the event, but not really pay to attend.
We would also like to have all people who will be attending to fill out a form, and that form will be unique for that person and act like a ticketing system, which would be used as an entry ticket. Maybe something we could do is you fill out the form, pay whatever online, and keep your ticket number, then at the event we have a drawing for a prize? Just an idea.
We also need to think of a date. Next may is too close, and if we want sponsors and mags there, we need it to be at least a year away when we tell them. I was thinking Labor Day weekend, anyone else have any ideas? It is ideal to get it on a holiday weekend, that way people don't have to take too many days off of work to attend.
We are going to have to do alot of planning, so spit out your ideas. Thanks.
