Reply With QuoteI'm in ! I should be able to make any weekend - Adam's birthday is the 25th, but he'll be away at school.

I know it seems a bit early, but I wanted to start organizing the 2008 October Opel Meet to be held at my home. As usual, this meet will be held in conjunction with the Opels Across America gatherings which take place during the month of October.
So, let's begin by getting an idea of how many people would like to attend the meet. I know fuel prices are high and they may affect some members decision on whether to come or not and I'd like to see if there's even enough interest to hold a meet or not. Also, please let me know if any certain weekends would not work for any of you so I can settle on a date. Please reply to this thread with your intentions and we'll progress from there.
After we determine interest, we'll move on to topics such as:
Food and drink items
Cruise or no cruise
Beer selection
Accomodations
Etc.
Lynn and I enjoy hosting this event very much and we hope there's enough interest to have one again this year. Looking forward to your input.

Looking forward for another meet at the Foley Garage. Any weekend but October 18th (Michigan game) is good for me, I can't miss two home games in one season (Opel National).

Hey, my birthday, too! Tell Adam all great people are born on October 25th!Originally Posted by opelgtguy
Adam's birthday is the 25th
Rick
I believe, from Duane and my discussion, he was trying to stay away from the 25th anyway since our Ohio/Western PA group is meeting on that date and some Opelers attend both events.
I'll add a shameless advertisement for our meet, in case any of you want to make the trip. This year it will be hosted by Thomas and Amy Kahlert in Springfield, OH on October 25th.

I received a PM from Vickie saying that the 25th is no longer the date for their meet, so it is available if that's when people want to meet here. Does anyone have anymore input? Dave can't make the 18th, so it still leaves the weekends of 4&5, 11&12 and 25&26. Do you prefer earlier in the month to try for warmer weather? Let's settle on a date so Vickie can plan their gathering.

I'll probably be at Pitt the weekend of the 25th - their parent's weekend happens to fall on Adam's birthday weekend.
Rick
How convenient, couldn't ask for any better than that. So, that leaves the first and second weekends open, anyone else?
Duane

I should be able to attend, whatever the date.

The 25th is not good for me. Another nieces B-day party.
Oct 11-12 would be best for me but the 4-5 weekend is OK. The RT 66 event is the weekend before & I will probably go to Chicago from there for a few days to visit relatives.

I think the earlier dates in the month would probably get us a little warmer weather. Shouldn't really matter though because it was pretty toasty last year near the fire!

Considering that the Route 66 meet is the week before the 4/5 as Tom mentioned, how about we settle on the 11/12th? That will allow people some recovery time between meets. All in favor?
Duane

My vote is yes for the 11/12 weekend. Maybe we'll even get some neewbies!

I'm currently available that weekend and will encourage Mitch Manta and the new guy from New Jersey to come as well. Duane's events are classics.

Just wanted to see if we were still good for the weekend of October 11/12. Trying to justify all of these golf & Opel excursions to the other half!!!!!!

Yes, we're still on 10/11&12 and it's coming quick. We should probably start thinking about food and beverages. Any input?
