This was a concept that was pressed by ANORAK years ago --- no-fault 
kayaking.  A member announced that he/she and N others would be going to 
Strawberry Banks at Hampton Roads on the weekend of ___, would be staying at 
___  where a rate of $__ had been negotiated, and URL___ would give driving 
directions and area info.  Launch would be at whenever.  The message was 
essentially, be there if you want.  There's no "leader", as such, but anyone 
who can handle ___ conditions and distance is welcome. 

It worked for a long time.  Don't know if the idea is still active or not.  
But it's an easy one to emulate.
