Jacqui,

Would it be too late just to invite some of the non-Mudcat ladies to join you when you get to the Getaway? That way you can see if the "chemistry" is right, i.e. you can see who you think would fit right in ... so to speak. :-)

Or do they need to bring the right kind of equipment with them to the Getaway?

I'm gettin' outta here before this gets any worse.
