: : : : If you guys want to give it a try, we can set up a section of the site for the club. Part of the reason I created shotglass.org was to give people a place to learn and meet.
: : : : The hard part is to come up with ideas for the club, and to get people interested...
: : : : What do you guys think a club could/should do that this site doesn't?
: : : : To answer my own question, we need to have a shotglass with the logo :)
: : : : Somebody once mentioned a "shot of the month club" -- everybody gets a shot in the mail, once a month. I haven't found a good source of glasses, but if each one of us could buy X glasses from someplace local, and everybody would be assigned a month where they were responsible for shipping out glasses to the rest of the members -- it might work.
: : : : Mark
: : : : : : all we need to is create a website....unfortunatly i dont have enough experience.....
: : : : : :maybe we could incorporate a club into this website- mark/what do you think? the website is already used and informative-a club section possibly
: : : : :
: : : : : :
: : : : : : : : : Is there really a club still active for shot glass collectors? The Shot Glass Club of America by Mark Pickvet I thought folded but its still on the internet. Do we need to start our own?
: : : : : : : : Hello Paul, If you want to start a club please count me in. Dave
: : : : : : : :PAUL-DAVE-IF A CLUB GETS GOING,COUNT ME IN TOO/AL W
: : : :MARK- ACTUALLY ,YOUR WEBSITE ALREADY DOES MUCH THAT A CLUB WOULD DO- INFORMATION, MESSAGE BOARD ,ETC. I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF A -SHOTGLASS -A MONTH.
: : : A CLUB-ALTHOUGH WEB BASED, MIGHT ALLOW SOME NON-WEB MEMBERS TO GET INVOLVED,WITH A SHORT MAILED NEWSLETTER, OR JUST SOLIDIFY MORE COMRADERIE BETWEEN COLLECTORS.
: : : IT WOULD JUST BUILD ONTO THE WEBSITE.
: : : A CLUB SHOT WOULD BE GREAT-WITH CLUB LOGO- MAYBE CHGD YEARLY ADDING A GEOGRAPHIC CHANGE EACH YEAR.
: : ::: Hi Guys, looks like this thing might fly ! The logo glass is a great idea. As far as the shot of the month goes, I and I'm sure some others don't have a glass supplier locally. This may defer some from joining up. What do you think of the idea of each member recieving a shot from all the other members on his or her birthday. Dave
:
: You would not need to have a local supplier to participate in the "shot of the month" -- you would just need to take a vacation or a road trip once a year (or am I the only one who has driven 4 hours just to buy shotglasses?)
: There are also a bunch of places online that sell glasses -- you might even get a discount for ordering a dozen or more of the same thing...
: Has anybody ordered glasses from huntermfg.com? You have to call them on the phone, but they sell all kinds of sports glasses.
: Just trying to think of other ways for people to get glasses....

+++ Just trying to come up with a few ideas and as for travelling to find glasses, each august my wife and I take a three day trip to Sussex, New Brunswick to attend a huge flea market there . As I speak we are getting ready to leave tommorrow morning to travel to the Annapolis Valley and also the south shore of Nova Scotia for a couple of days. I hope to come across some shots I don't have, and who knows, maybe something really special. After all, thats what collecting is all about. Hoping to find some elusive or extremely rare glass. I'll let you know how I did when we get back. Later, Dave
