I know this isn't a good option for us in August, but I thought others may want to know about it..
In my local paper they had an article about a Military Vehicle show going on this weekend (Thursday thru Saturday). It is to be held in the field behind the Center Woods School, 14 Center Rd, Weare, NH.
Why don't people start looking at their local papers for related events that we could possibly make into a meeting place? I don't mean local cruise nights, but other bigger events..

Don the reason for doing this one in VT is to bring out more members from VT..I do recall saying earlier this year that meets will be all over NE.
We need to get those members involved and Ken would agree.

I WAS NOT looking to have this as the August GTG..
Also I am not aware of ever having a GTG in Upstate NH.. This would qualify for your having meets in other areas.
I was also asking others for input from their local papers..
On a side note... If you are looking to have meetings in other areas of New England then Ken's recommendation of RI,CT, or ME would make more sense.
Seeing that we had the last month(June) in Greenfield..

Sean,
I just noticed that this meet is on a Saturday..
I thought Saturdays were out per your statement from last months thread..
<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width="100%">
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
As it was the three people who went to Kitten's could have made the Saturday date, but we missed an extra event to accomidate other people who didn't show up..
So to ask your question again....
Why Change Now????

Aug 4 sound fine to me.
If other can't make it on a Saturday than another Aug meet could be planned for later in the month on a sunday. It's just a thought.
Weare NH is NOT upstate NH.. Its more on the southern tip of Central NH. Its south the Concord and Concord is central NH. Now Pittsburgh NH is Up-state.
I know its pricy but why not a Mt. Washington auto road meet for an up-state NH meet? Again just throwing out a thought. Or maybe a Kangamangus(sp???) run or somthing similar.

I know Weare is not that far up there.. The point I was trying to make is it is a place we have not been and could attract other states.
Also I mentioned the Mt Washington idea a few months ago..
They are having the show in September.

I know
I was picking..... Funny thing though is that my mom works in Andover and everyone there goes "way up north" to go camping. Funny thing is that they go to the camp ground next door to where I live.
I know you mentioned Mt Washington. Just though I'd bring it up again.

Im not sure about aug 4, but I really like the idea of Mt. Washington or something. A good scenic trip would be fun. Stop here and there, maybe a raodside diner for lunch and a nice pub or something after or call it a day. Maybe something good for the fall and changing of leaves. If we wanted, we could make it a family event...if we wanted. Give me a chance to get a new used truck and I ll throw my new used grill in the back with a cooler and we'll stop at a state park along the way.

GREAT SUGGESTION by Don, Dan, and Mike...who is going to take the ball and run with it as far as doing research and planning??? Two days would be impossible for me personally...perhaps for others as well...but let's get someone who can do the research and provide some options.
However...
...(Don't really mean the frown...but the sign is great)...
With all due respect to everyone involved...can we put off posting about September for a few weeks and get back on topic regarding the August GTG in Westminster??? After that event we can get September sorted out.
