Thoughts

These are great responses everyone!! Keep em coming! I feel as though once we've established committee members we can start assigning very specific jobs but I imagine for the most part the committee would act as a whole.

Some of us obviously have skills in certain areas that others don't such as the expertise of making a website or advertisements sheets and by all means if anyone would like to volunteer for any specific jobs please say so.

Sifu George I imagine a dramatic change to the event would have to be made by the committee(once it's established) as a whole. I think in the evens that one of us(including you, you are definitely apart of the committee) thinks a big change should be made we could do an anonymous vote for it and/or discuss it and see what's best for the convention.I do love the space!! It's amazing there.

I myself already know I will be included in the construction of big bertha(the apparatus that holds all the speed bags)! As well as help with the building the official schedule and website. I personally don't possess a ton of skill in making a website so I could use help with that and for an Advertisement poster I would love to recruit Msdeville to help! As I know she has helped make them in years past and done a fantastic job.

I have noticed a LOT of people visit The Forum . maybe one idea would be to have a very short video come on first thing to really catch the attention of the first timers on this page....

I am NOT a computer person but I can follow good directions for instance the directions Tim put up on the forum on how to embed videos from you tube to the forum....excellent...BUT

I did not know what FAQ meant till someone told me.

I noticed someone asked how to make friends on the forum. I did not know how to either so I waited for a response. none came on the forum....

A private message came and told me where to go...when I read the instructions...I tried to follow them but the buttons I was told to push were not on the forum. My idea is someone who knows computers go to all the
instructions on how to do stuff and follow all the instructions preceisely and see if they all work I would like to make friends on the forum and I still do not know how...contacts yes friends no..Joe and I would like to help however we can and we are saving up for Speedbag 6. We really enjoyed ourselves and we enjoy the enthusium for Speedbag 6. thanks to everyone

ps having worked for a newspaper all I can say is advertise and promote Joe and I do it for the Forum most every day...In order to get people to join they have to know the Forum exists....my 2 cents...

[MsDeville]

Anyone heard from Msdevile lately? I was wondering if she would help with the poster since she did such a great job in the past with designing them.

On a side note, I would love to get Speed Bag shirts and Art of the Bag shirts (Joe!!!!) to bring to the convention since we'll have such an influx of people from the committee!!!!

I regret not making an SB V poster for this year's event. My apologies. I'd be happy to work up some Speed B.A.G. VI poster ideas. Stay tuned.

T-shirts are a great idea. And like Eric suggested, if there is pre-registration for SB VI, we can get an idea of how many shirts to pre-order for those who are interested. (I'm not too savvy about creating an online pre-registration form for the event, but, hopefully Tim or someone else on the forum can assist in this. I think you mentioned something about creating a website, Matthew… We should try to aim at getting something up before the end of the year perhaps.

By the way, I have a Facebook page titled: Speed Bag Addicts. I've been posting random photos and videos taken at Speed B.A.G. V. I invite you to heck it out, and give the page a "Like" while you're there.

Speaking of T-shirts… speedbag4life and I made a custom t-shirt that we wore to SB V. Here is some video of someone I persuaded to model it for me at the event. You're a good sport, Matthew.

dates work well

those dates work well for Joe and Me. we think The Real Gym is the place to be. Please let us know if we can help in any way...planning or whatever...thanks for getting the ball rolling.

event shirts

I think Event shirts are a great Idea. Online registration would help then people could put sizes in advance for pre ordering purposes.
I think a little more structure would be of help for people scheduling flights out of Newark.
It was my first time. I had a ball and learned a lot from the best. So I am grateful how ever it goes down. I will be back next year for sure. Thats just a first timers observations.

[SpeedyGeezer]

That will work

Let me know how I can help.

As of now the weekend after Independence Day is fine. Count me in to help out. What ever I can do I will. Always have a lot of fun.
