BABS Revival

[oneillc22]

Good morning,

My name is Chris and I’ve been part of the IH community for almost a decade. I’m looking to take a role in helping bring the BABS community together. At the recent 2024 IHSFR, I spent time with Dave Perez and we talked about breathing new life into the group. Dave recently emailed me his old contact list which I have to sort through and start some outreach. There is new blood out there, we just have to connect everyone.

I’m not looking to step on the toes of the old BABS leadership and want to help where I can. Someone let me know if I am overstepping. My intention is to create an email list and send 4 emails a year because no one likes too much spam. The email would be pointing to smaller regional meets (North Bay, South Bay, SF, etc) like cars and coffee, a trail run, etc. Also to promote the larger annual events (IHSFR, IHWR, etc). The email would link to the existing IHPA forum BABS page and a facebook group for more active conversations. I can’t promise this will be made overnight, but I can promise I’ll be working on it.

If you’d like to be included, send me a private message with this info for the contact list. Emails will be coming from BayAreaBinderSociety@gmail.com

Hey Chris. Justin here. I attended a few of the get togethers back in the day. Definitely interested in getting together. Keep me in the loop. I am in Livermore.

 

[scoutdude80]

Hey Justin, it's Cary. It could be sweet if some of the old crew could help Chris get the band back together again.

 

[gulfdawg]

Hey Cary, hope all is well. Agreed. I don’t really have any contacts, but will try and help best I can.

I wonder if there is some interest in a Hollister Hills run?

 

[scoutdude80]

A few pics from previous Hollister Hills trips

I wonder what happened to all of the Work Day Threads?

 

[scoutdude80]

Here's a few more pics from Scooters hill roll. Had a good crew to get his Scout to flat ground

Ouch, glad he was ok.

 

[scoutdude80]

Thank goodness for that tree. The best I can recall, there was still another 20 yards to the bottom.

Doesnt take much to turn into a raisen... glad I put a full cage in mine!

Uh yea. The FD in my handle is Fire Dept.

 

[scoutdude80]

What the heck, more Hollister Pics.
Memories, ya know?
We all know there were many good times over the years. Maybe More to come??

Once again..

 

[scoutdude80]

And, then there were the Saturday "Work Days". These 2 pics are from the Walnut Creek day.
There was always a BBQ, with all the trimmings in the afternoon. Another occasion of where we passed the hat rather than use club funds. Oh that's right; no treasurer.

 

[scoutdude80]

Humm.
Still no interest into the social side of the IH World?
Now, add up all the time, effort & expense that went into building your rig. You'd think that many of you would like to gather-up your stuff, head to Hollister for some weekend wheeling, camping & partying. Might, I suggest the sycamore campground.

On a side note, I seem to use this emoji more lately
The possibilities of locally growing the BABS Activities / Social side of the IH World again via the IHPA forum are in place. What do you have to lose?

Might be a precursor to the Sierra Fall Rallye?
Makes sense to me.

If you've seen this before, then you'll know its worth another read through.
If not, y'all will see "Roberts Rules of Order" is not spoken here.
____________________________________________________________________________________________

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
