[Nobbc] Possible lunch at Inverness Yacht Club, March 19th?

[Mark Darley]

Fellow drivers and oyster eaters:

I have tentatively booked Inverness Yacht Club for an Oyster Lunch on  
Saturday March 19th.
http://www.invernessyachtclub.com/

The fee to me as a member for use of the Club for up to 30 people is  
$100, plus $50-100 in cleanup charges.  (31-75 people, the fee jumps  
up to $250). I propose a small per-capita fee to cover this and the  
cost of the food purchases.

The Club has no employees and is an entirely volunteer run, very low- 
key sailing club, so don't expect anything smart.  This will be a do- 
it-yourself lunch with a view.  Parking is required to be in the  
small lots on either side of the road outside the gate with room for  
about 25 cars...no parking inside the boatyard.

I would like to hear what form the NBBC members would like to see it  
take.

I propose that we meet in Point Reyes Station for breakfast/coffee,  
then take a drive out to the lighthouse, and arrive at the Club for a  
late lunch of oysters, wine, beer, bread and cheese...all local. We  
would eat in the bar with a great view of the Tomales Bay(and  
ballroom if needed).

We would bring our own drinks (as IYC can only sell alcohol to yacht  
club members).
I will bring oysters, "Hog wash" vinigrette, cheese, bread, coffee  
and cream, as well as barbecue coals in case some prefer grilled  
oysters (a little heat also makes them easier to shuck).

Please offer up your suggestions/responses, including whether the  
date is practical for you.
We could certainly aim for a date later in the Spring if needed.  I  
just grabbed a date while it was available.


Cheers,
Mark
