Deja vu?

[1990 415]

Since the weather in May in KY usual sucks, and the NCM is a convenient spot for holding the Gathering, wouldn't moving the date of the Gathering to the autumn (October) make a lot of sense? Would the NCM have a big problem with moving the date of this Gathering while still being the venue that hosts this event? Or, try having a spring Gathering and a fall Gathering and see which one has a better turnout and better weather? I have been to 7 Gatherings and 5 of them had crappy weather. KY weather in May is too unpredictable.

I agree with a early Oct. gathering. This time for most would be their last big event until winter storage (you warm weather guys suck)
If the NCM cannot move the date why couldn't we still hold the event somewhere near the NCM.
Maybe even piggyback off another NCM event (small one that would welcome/need some more attendants)
Lets keep throwing ideas out there maybe some will stick

I'm getting the feeling it would be worth asking the NCM to consider an Oct(?) date, next year. (October sounds good for us snow bound members - sounds especially appealing to me, FWIW.) Piggyback or "off site" (from the NCM) - either way. But, as mom points out the event would all be on us, and I'm well aware of the "80/20" rule when it comes to organizing an event.

Well... Something to kick around for next year...while sitting around in the lobby of the NCM...watching the downpour outside... Just a thought.

We will add this on the agenda for the membership meeting @ BG!


I think we should discuss it again in August @ corvettes of Carlisle
