End of the Winter Season... end of The Winter Club until September (when the cold air returns)

Okay Gentleman - the last Winter Club "meeting" for the year will be Monday, April 28th 7pm - ?

We will be meeting at the "new" NiagaraHub, right next door to the old NiagaraHub.

As always, bring a dish to pass (your specialty) and/or something/anything... whether it is a bottle to add to the bar or whatever you feel like sharing.

This is our last gathering until the end of September.  If you have a friend that you'd like to bring, this is the last opportunity for new members!

There will be a poker game.  They may be some entertainment.  There will be beer.


See you on April 28th.

March Meeting - March 24th @ 7pm

Well Gentleman, we now know what to expect from a Winter Club "meeting."  Some good food, some good drinks, some cards and some good conversation.  The March 24th meeting will be the second to last meeting... figuring that Ol' Man Winter will probably fuck with us a few more times before Spring really takes hold - the final Winter Club meeting will be the April meeting.  Then, we'll break for warm weather and all the craziness that it brings, and then start back up in September.  Giving us a total of 8 meetings a year... simple enough!  We will meet at the NiagaraHub unless otherwise directed.

For the March 24th meeting - please bring your specialty - whether that is a dish to pass, a drink to chug, a dessert to spoon or whatever you might want to share with the boys. If you want to make your "dish" a bottle of your preferred spirits or some beer, we'll add that to our growing bar. Don't come empty handed - bring something, anything!  We will also be celebrating milestone birthdays for two of our members (am I missing anyone else perhaps?) - Rob "The Bench Guy" Brawn turns 50 and Tony Kutis turns 40... so let's raise a toast and wish them many many more great birthdays!

Poker game is usually Texas Hold 'em, non-tournament style.

Some members have inquired, "Why meet on a Monday night?" - Well, any day of the week is tough, if we tried on a Friday or Saturday, there is always something going on and your wife or girlfriend (or both) probably has dibs on that time, so why not start the shittiest day of the week with a bit of unwinding and laughs... oh yeah, and also - once September hits, we can watch Monday Night Football! So, Mondays it is!

Meetings start promptly at 7pm and end (sort of) at 9pm - after hours may continue at the Hub with cards and general debauchery, or the crowd may mosey to another venue... whatever everyone decides.

Please bring a friend worthy of the Winter Club to the final two meetings - those that attended any of the four meetings (Jan, Feb, March or April) will be considered "Members."  There will be no "open enrollment" come September... so get in where ya fit in!

These first four meetings will serve as a meet and greet so that we can all get to know each other better - business will be discussed at our September meeting, discussion regarding direction of club, etc.

Remember to only speak about Winter Club with members you know have attended prior meetings.  No reason to go blab to your woman or your co-worker about anything. All stays contained within the walls of our secret headquarters!

Check back to this site for more posts and details and who knows what else... this club will evolve perpetually.  The Winter Club was established to help us deal with the doldrums of winter - let's make it a cool thing to look forward to while Jack Frost has our nuts in his icy grip!

See ya March 24th at 7pm.

PS - Your membership card (you did remember to put it in your wallet, right?) now entitles you to a free cup of coffee at Murphy's Cafe!  Future discounts and whatnot to follow as we grow.

PSS - If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to share 'em.
