YA!YA!YA! Mikell! You are gonna have a great time!
Your idea would be a good one, except (in my opinion) for one thing. Folks often have every intention of meeting up with fellow boarders, but then once you get there, time just seems to slip away and sometimes those connections are not made. I had several people that I had fully intended to look up, but then.....
It seems to work out best if you find out who will be there at the same time, and then prearrange something. You stand a good chance of finding fellow boarders at BC's Sunday BBQ, or Fidos in the evenings. I bumped into a few people without even trying.
