50’s Diner

I remember Doc writing the non-bylaws. It was funny then, and just as funny today.

And, it's the truth.
Preface -- Current BABS non-laws as scripted by the honorable Doc.
This applies to any location. Just change a few names to protect the innocent where applicable.


• we don’t have a president: Dave is hereby appointed maven. He calls the meetings Unless someone else calls a meeting….

• we don’t have dues: funds are raised officially by the maven saying” hey, we need some money for ______ project/activity. Ante up”

• treasurer: no money, no treasurer.

• secretary: nothing of note happens anyway and there are precious few IH owners who can write legibly.

• rules of order: Marty smacks miscreants on the noggin with a coke bottle in cases of disorder. Otherwise, do as the maven directs.

• society goals: play with old IH iron. Anybody else can come along because we need something to practice towing.

• affiliations: join a state wide club so we can go to other people’s parties, too.

• elections: I vote for Dave. Any dissents? Talk to the guy with the coke bottle.

• membership: own an IH something or other and show up at a meeting, dinner or event. Families are welcome.

• website: we are welcome to post on IHPartsAmerica.com forum

• notification: by email. If you don’t email, ask your kid to use his/hers.

• change of non-laws: when and what the maven decides. Dissenters can talk to the coke bottle.

• dissolution: nobody shows up

I've been shopping around for a small travel trailer that I can tow with Ol' Rusty. I want to be able to bring my dogs with me when I travel. Did IH ever make travel trailers? It would be cool to have one if they did.
I'm thinking about attending the Rallye this year and a small camper would make the trip a lot easier.
 
hi all from down Los Angeles way!!!!! when is your next meeting, do you post meeting in advance? I may be up that way and would like to attend.

Hey Richard. Meetings are long gone. Yeah, they were good times while they lasted. Some of the originals still get together at the Rallye.

Check out Scouts West in your area. I think they're based in Fullerton.

Originally we were Scouts West's Silicon Valley Chapter. I don't remember the precise reason why we split from SW, but I must have been pissed-off at something they did or did not do. AND, We Never Looked Back. Jeff offered us forum space. That's who our allegiance went to. We have a good home.

"Introductions" was one of the first posts. Since January 9, 2009, there has been over 68,000 hits with 194 posts. The following club awareness letter is from Doc, 2-3 years later. I used the following to post on Craigslist. I posted in IH Parts & IH Vehicles for sale. On the overall it worked out. We got some traffic.
If you would like to become part of an IH club and live in the san Francisco bay area, you might be interested in the Bay Area Binder Society. Babs is an online IH club that connects “local sovereign clubs” throughout the region together. There are no dues, no bod, no elections, no politics, no obligations.

• Bay Area Binder Society [babs] Is a loose group of binderphiles with diverse interests. Four wheeling, restoration, collecting IH stuff and gathering together for the fun of it.
• With our trucks, we do: tune-up days, toys-4-tots, road rallye's, dinners, bbq's and more.
• Off-road activities include the sierras, hollister hills, death valley and more.
• Get together with other IH owners in your area

• We are a gold country sponsor at the IH Sierra Fall Rallye.
• We are a club sponsor at the Great Western Binder Bee in oregon.

If you like a club's social atmosphere, then post up & join in for some IH fun!


And we did
 
WEll, I do belong to the Scouts West club down here in SoCal. I was just curious re: the BABS club. I guess I will see some of you at the Fall Sierra Rallye. Thanks.
