Looks like it needs to be September 15th,16th, and 17th, as a competition has sprung up on the following weekend that we may be wanting to do.
Sooooo..... Let the planning begin.
Anyone that is flying in needs to coordinate and we can't just get tickets willy-nilly as the airport is an hour away in good traffic. We first need to know who is flying in and what day. Thursday arrivals are welcome as well to help set up for Friday. I can make a run on Thursday to the airport and with any luck either Bill or Ron or both can make a run on Friday. Phil knows the way and has rented a vehicle in the past and maybe he will again.
Midway is the airport to fly into unless you have no other option and need to fly into Ohare if it eliminates a long hold over or something for you getting here.
Anyone that is thinking about making it should really try as this may be the last fall bash held at my house for two reasons. One is that we think that the size may get bigger and may need to start moving off site to a larger gathering area such as a cmpground. The second is that we are thinking about moving the midwest bash up and down the Mississippi valley in order to facilitate more members being able to attend. This is something that we can discuss this year at the bash.
So let's start planning first by getting some responses as to who is coming for a fact and which of those members are flying in or driving and what day they are planning on coming in.
Those that plan on driving and can offer up space for others, please do.
Any off topic stuff will be deleted as it will be hard enough trying to coordinate without sifting through. Leave off topic to the other fall bash threads.
OK, we're off!
