The Gay Outdoor Club, it's members and your Host, Michael
Railey would like to THANK YOU for offering to Host an event for
everyone to enjoy.
A few things about hosting an event. An event can be as simple as
sending out an open invite to members asking them to join you on an
outing or as "Complex" as a Multi-National Mountain climbing
expedition. "Kiss your Ass Goodbye" Adventure team member and your
Host, Michael Railey, is known for his escapades across the globe. (
Trip reports forthcoming:).
Gclub members are here to assist if you need assistance or guidance. Just send Michael Railey , Gclub host an e-mail at : You need to be a registered member of the Gay Outdoor Club to coordinate an event. JOIN / Membership

with details that you have, and it will be sent along to Your Webmaster and posted at the web site (remember to double-check that the information is correct out there because I can make mistakes). Those interested in attending will contact you with their RSVP's or questions, and then off you go!
Guidelines:
1.
Be sure to include your full name and email address (required).
It is recommended you add complete contact info: e-mail, phone
number's: Cell, Pager, Home and I also recommend, if you are mustering
at some point, say a park location, include a description of yourself ,
your vehicle, or sport toy: "Orange mountain bike with Blue helmet",
"Butt Ugly Gray Mini-van with missing right headlight , never
washed"-Your host.
2. Describe the activity Include things
like: What members can expect to see, "Historic Walking Tour of Oak
Cliff, Dallas" We will walk along residential streets in historic area,
see the Harvey Theater, pass through the cemetery where "x" is buried
and finally have lunch at the Historic Mexican restaurant, " xx" where
great Margarita's are served.....Things that tell people "Why they
would be interested. Include any special skills and equipment
that is needed (26 mile road touring bike ride, 1 liter water
bottle, safety helmet, touring or mountain bike, extra tire, money for
commercial pit stops. ) If rental equipment is
going to be used, include the contact number's for the company where
equipment needs to be reserved,,, each member is usually responsible
for their own rental reservations and costs. . If you're event is "Out
of town" or over multiple days, list the approximate cost for
Lodging-Rainbow Ranch- $10/person per day for tent camping, Their phone
number is: 1-888-000-0000 for reservations. We will have 3 meals in
restaurants around $12.00 per person. ..... Its a good idea to
let people know the driving time to the meeting point, so
use a major city as a reference point. People also like to
know what kind of terrain to expect and at what pace you'll be
conducting the activity.

required such as nature walks, picnics, fishing; or 1 hour biking,
