Topic: Need Ideas and Coordinators/Planners for a Regional GTG

[Z66 Butch]

I am looking for ideas and people to host/Coordinate a Regional GTG. There has been talk in past years of holding a large Region GTG in the Midwest but it never happened. Is this the year to try it? I know with the Nationals at CAFCNA coming up in July many members will plan a vacation around that, do you think there is room for a regional event, maybe in the fall? Can we expand one of the regular "yearly" events into a Regional Meet? My vision would be something along the lines of a long weekend. I have a proposal but am interested in your input first.

If we could get a plan together for a 3 or 4 day weekend in September, would any of you be interested? I am all about family GTG's where there is something for everyone to do! We don't need to make it real elaborate or try to plan every minute of the GTG but should have several ideas for events and cruises etc. If you have a idea that you think would make for a great regional event please post them up in this thread!!

I like the idea butch. Most of us that have kids have them in school in september so that's something to think about also. I'll try to help think of something here. Possibly a Spring Break time would be nice. The weekend after Easter. I know Fire & Ice 3 is coming up in Feb. and we're going to WV WWW VI in April which is normally when Easter is. We have an early Easter this year so WV is coming in at a nice time.

That's a thought........Can you get the guy's out that way to help set it up? If we do a 3 day weekend there are plans that will need to be made.

I didn't get any response over at CAFCNA when I ask for ideas so go check with those people. Have them post here and lets see if we can get a plan going.

LOL  Have them to post here?  Who you kidding Butch?

Keep trying at cafcna because it aint going to work here as we dont have enuff members for this discussion. Theres atleast 100 members at cafcna from the midwest that dont even bother to come around here and they wont come. They already built a family there and they will not start over again.  Others simply quit visiting MAC for whatever reason and i see them daily at cafcna. I gave up posting MAC stuff there because is just worthless.

They come, they come, they dont, they dont..... it doesnt bother me anymore.  We just keep tagging and building MAC our own way and maybe in the future MAC can host an event of its own with its own members.   Give it time.

I'd like to see a GTG around/near Terra Haute, IN.  I don't know what's in that town, other than a college - but I'm going to start researching it.  THe reason is, the Ohio guys can't  come all the way over here for a GTG - and I'm not driving all the way over there....Soooooo...I drew a line between OBB &Kansas City (where a lot of members are, and Terre Haute is about in the middle.  If someone would be up to plan a Mid-midwest GTG, I'll jump in too!  Whatcha think??  Might even get some of the Mich. people to come!!  I hear they like to party
