Gathering poll!; interest in a 2010 midwest event?
 
I have no plans to arrange any 2010 gatherings; however, several people have asked me if any are in the works and why no announcements have been made. Thus...:

1 ... What draws your interest in a gathering?

2 ... What keeps your interest in a gathering for you to attend as planned?

3 ... Are you interested in a MidSummer Chitown gathering in Elgin IL, July TwentyTen?


Depending on the responses, I may arrange a July 24 (or 31) gathering, in Elgin IL, for MULTIPLE boards (car- and heart-related, etc.), starting at 11a with a short drive ... and lasting into the evening.

I would like to go to the Elgin meet again!

thumpingetocar06 01-19-2010 01:23 PM

I would be willing to make the drive for a nice show....

03JGMonte 01-19-2010 01:39 PM

i might be able too depending on work

Jomao_o 01-19-2010 02:09 PM

That would be nice, personally i don't think i would be able to.

I'm definetly up for the mid-summer July show again. I've been to the last 2, and I intend on coming over there again this summer, also.

Cool ... looks like we have SOME interest in this, sssooo I've spoken with my contact at Steak'n'Shake; we can hold the gathering there again. However ... I'll check out other places along Randall Rd / US Route 20.


FOR NOW...

...if you are interested in a MidSummer Chitown Gathering #3, please speak up NOW...

...save SATURDAY, JULY 24, 2010 ... just in case. My vision for the gathering: start at 11a, with a brief drive, then back to Steak'n'Shake (or gathering restaurant/area) for lunch and meet'n'greet the rest of the day/evening....

Like I said on the other forum Cort; it sounds like a good time to me and I can set time for this trip this year.:D

AwesomeSS 02-09-2010 01:30 PM

Hey Wayne, maybe by that time I will have replaced my T-stat and plugs so I can drop a pulley - install opportunity!!!

SWEET! Will be good to see you again! :)



If my math serves me correctly, ~40 people from ~15 different groups/boards have indicated an interest in the MidSummer Chitown Gathering #3. Not too bad, but that's about 3 people per board....



IF this happens, it...

...will be at Steak'n'Shake (other restaurants/facilities are in the immediate area if you want to eat somewhere else)

...most-likely will be July 24

...will start ~10:30a, with a brief cruise around some "back roads" in the area starting at 11a, returning to Steak'n'Shake ~noon or 12:30p for lunch and meet'n'greet the rest of the day



If I plan this, I will post a NEW topic in a few weeks..... So, if you're interested ... speak up NOW!!!
