PA/NJ/DE/NY and beyond: organizing a fall meet!!

Now that we've recovered from our first meet....an excellent one I might add...I think Im going to take advantage of some things I learned when organizing the first....first Im going to start a little earlier this time...

I'd like some input please on location, day of the weekend and month....I am looking at either September or October....

There is an awesome park near the previous meet (Brandywine Picnic Park)...you can google it for details but they have everything including an aweome all-you-can eat buffett from like 12-5 for $36.95

check their website...lots of activities including canoing, paddle boats, rides, arcade (just for feras and klegg), etc....children are welcome...

-Pat

PS...already have our first sponsor.... Nucar Mazda

Boy, when I asked on June 19th when our next meet would be, you didnt mess around, Pat!
No opinion yet on location, etc.; waiting to see what others say. Although, I'd rather take a drive than paddle a paddleboat!

We'll be there. I would like to win a turbo and an interceptor this time around

And as long as we have at least a month's heads up, I can get off of work, so Sunday works for us!

To make things easier, you can have a designated cameraperson.....that way it's not so much work for you! Sunday can work for us too. Just don't make it on 10/8. I'm organizing a breast cancer research ride in my friend's memory for the 7th of October.

Anything a tad further west so some of us don't have to drive 227 miles one way would be nice....

Hmmmm, $37/person? Kinda steep when buying for more than one.... I found an indirect link: http://www.visitpa.com/pathrills/par...k_brandy.shtml

Sounds like a nice place. I'd be up for that or for a drive. Duke, did you mean a cruise - some substantial distance?
Cool-Blue: the price is a little steep but you get an all-day use of the park and everything in it besides the food....
PS...I dont care where we go as long as we spend the day together!!

Yeah, C-B-D. One of my favorite parts of the last meet was dag & I driving our two blues together over from NJ. I loved the stares we got & how some people sped up to check us out after we had passed them in tandem.
I also noticed how a few from the meet went off on a ride, but I didnt know where to go for a fun ride. I go up & down rte 1 a lot, but I havent ventured off of it in the Chadd's Ford area.

Either way is ok for me, too. We would only be able to hang out for 2 to 3 hours tops, anyway, as we have four dogs at home!
