arkie Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Here is some general info about BOA (Blacksmith Organization of Arkansas) for any interested smiths or wanting-to-be-smiths. You can PM me for detailed info on meetings. They are usually held on Saturdays; different Saturdays for each chapter. The meeting may also change to have the meeting coincide with special events. Visitors are welcome, and family memberships are available as a single membership. We have coal for sale as well. Our website, www.blacksmithsofarkansas.org has info and archives of newsletters which will be posted for the public one month behind. We think our newsletter is one of the best in smithing!! Our organization has four chapters in northern Arkansas. They are: NW Chapter, primarily from Eureka Springs and Springdale to Harrison to near Jonesboro and down towards Little Rock, Central Chapter, mostly in the LIttle Rock, AR area, NE Chapter, mostly the Jonesboro, AR area, River Valley Chapter, around Ft. Smith, AR. For meeting schedules for each chapter, please PM me for a particular chapter inasmuch as we may project meetings months in advance and with four chapters, it would be a lot to post here. I can then post it here on the forum. Sometimes, meeting locations change from posted ones, as was the case for the last NW meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 With a heavy heart, I must announce the passing today, Sept. 23, 2016, of BOA's beloved Treasurer, Coal Meister and a Past President, Ron Wells. Ron was a victim of terminal lung and brain cancer. He was a great friend and will be greatly missed by many. RIP, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 I have cleaned up the BOA forum, making each month activities a different topic. This will remove the clutter from the main topic and let the viewer find current meetings in their area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 OK. I think that created a lot of extra work on your part. Seems like a sequence of monthly meeting info under one topic might be simpler than creating a lot of monthly topics, but "you de boss". Thanks for your hard work.

Glenn Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Current meetings are listed at the top. The old meetings you will not be able to attend even if you hurry. (grin) 3 - 4 years down the road it should all make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 LOL! We have some members who live in the past, so they might just show up at the old meetings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
