In the past we have discussed at some length the location for the next event. By publishing this list as a fait accompli the implication is that the locations are baselined.

I am of two minds. I am glad that someone is actively pursuing hosting an event and I believe that we need to have a discussion and make some kind of group decision.

And as I said in another thread, you will not get people from the western half of the country to show up in the east two years in a row. For example, we have had up to 24 people from Colorado attend past events but have 1 going to NY this year because of the distance and cost.

Basically if we follow down this path, we are saying that from now on each region of the country is free to hold its own regional event if they desire and that is not a bad thing.

OK, I deleted my last two posts, maybe I jumped the gun a bit.

Have at it.

No disrespect intended to anyone here, but could we have this discussion elsewhere than in this thread, and leave this thread strictly for posting the statistics of the national events? Please?

Thank you.

Looks like it's time for a West Coast location... what about doing one in Reno? Centered north/south, I80 access east/west, plenty of hotel rooms and great drive opportunities (Lake Tahoe). Does one club have to run it or could it be a group effort between West Coast, Pacific Northwest, So. Cal, Phoenix and Denver clubs? Sorry DaveOC… let me know where we could start a discussion.
