We kicked the idea around of making TP5, last year's event, invitation only. The problem is/was where do you draw the line? and what is the line about in the first place? drinking? rebel rousers? both?
We have a short list of people that aren't welcome based on past experiences but we've been lucky so far, those people haven't returned. More than likely they didn't have all that good a time with the rest of us anyway.
I think there's been quite a few people that have attended one or more of our outings that didn't "click" with the group as a whole and that's ok. As the article said, we're pretty laid back with very little drama. It doesn't matter what kind of boat a person has nor what kind of shape it's in, it's all about having a good time, meeting new folks and eating real good food. Sometimes I wonder if the food hasn't become the central focus
