It's taken care of. I sent him a message with a link to this thread.

Just an update. So far I have 3 cars that have confirmed that they would be interested in coming, depending on the actual dates and weather.

[Guest]

excellent, thanks. i suppose we have narrowed it down to asheville. anyone have a strong preference for when?

[LMS]

Should be next year sometime so we have time to plan it. Also NOT in the summer. Maybe spring sometime.

[Guest]

yes like march or april?

I rather enjoy the idea of looking forward to a new annual show off-peak season, be it Fall or Spring. (So long as it doesn't conflict with any other venues some of us may attend, like Daytona.) Weekend before Thanksgiving would be a nice wind down after haunting, providing one more good reason to stretch the season. Spring meet gives people time for coach adjustments/improvements over winter break while fixing cabin fever. Either way, win/win.

There is still plenty of time to advertise and have it happen in November.

Probably yes, but lots of people were complaining about the proximity to the christmas holidays. i think personally i'd rather postpone it a bit so people have more time to request time off work and save up for it.

also, if we're going to do any kind of formal convention, that will take more planning than just a general hang out.

I really think we need to have some sort of regional committee with one or two members from each of the hearse clubs. Then we need to set a regular schedule to talk about it. Voice conference call or something like that.

Here's the deal: Thursday, September 6th, 8:00 PM EDT we will have our first conference call. The conference number is 218-339-4600 and the participant access code is 620859* We will shoot for half an hour, and our main agenda will be to determine which clubs are interested in participating and select a committee of approximately two (2) members per club.

Honestly, we were really diggin the November time slot. Anymore, our winters tend to run a bit late with a pretty good chance of snow most of March and sometimes early April. When you factor in the extreme amount of road salt that is used in WV, especially late in the season because they don't want to have to store it, you come up with some pretty hostile conditions for show cars.

[Guest]

ok we'll have to pick the time slot where the most people can attend.

Absolutely, Don't change any plans based on us alone. And we will come if able.

We should have a couple of memebers coming, hopefully at least 5. We already have plans for two weekends. March 22-24 Mad Monster Party Charlotte NC and April 13 weekend Myrtle Beach Zombie walk.
I personnally won't mind doing something in Nov. I know it's a not long time to plan, but something not as big as a Southeastern meet. Maybe a test meet.

[Guest]

i think it will boil down to whether or not everyone just wants to hang out, or they want some kind of a formal convention. if the latter, i think we'll need more time to plan.

but by all means, everyone try to be on the conference call.
