South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort!


Ok, I have browsed the periodic threads for the Miami and other South Florida areas for audio clubs.  The interested parties are out there, but the thread posts are too few and far between, not to mention they span a few threads.

So, I will promise to act as the ring leader and gather the info and try to get something going!  If you are interested, post here, tell us your city and e-mail.  I'll make a list and if we get some traction, I will send out an e-mail to any interested parties so we can all make something happen!

In another post I was putting out a feeler to see if there are any vinyl fans who would like to share the cost of a high end record cleaner.  That can be something that some local vinyl fans may be interested in.

I would be happy to connect and hang out with other music nuts from time to time.  So, let it begin!

I suggest using Meetup (an online Social Network focusing on aggregating folks with similar interests) to get a South Florida audio club going.  Our local (Tampa Bay) Suncoast Audiophile Society quadrupled in size after we migrated to Meetup.  There *is* a modest fee (monthly or semi-annual) for the group organizer (not members) but that can be easily recouped from the active membership.
We had about 25 active members, but slow growing due to limited word of mouth.  After migrating to Meetup, lots of local audiophiles started finding us!  We now have over 100 members (60+ active), and a sister club spun off in Sarasota (also on Meetup).  If you search Meetup, you'll find many audiophile clubs are using it worldwide.  The platform has it's quirks, but overall lots of tools for managing meetings, RSVP's, discussion forum, uploading pics, etc.  My suggestion is to make it a PRIVATE group, and vett your prospective members with a phone call and/or public meeting.
