2018 National Meet

[QUIKTWIN]

Is there going to be a national meet for 18?

[Peddler]

I helped the team from the Great Lakes (Michigan) put together a proposal. I recon Chuck should be throwing it out before the end of the day.

 

I believe midnight tonight is the deadline.

Thanks Peddler!

Oh, a Great Lakes National Meet would be awesome.  If I could manage to attend that would be even better.

Great Lakes would be, well, GREAT!  :chpr

I'm in for a Michigan meet. ????????

Speaking for me and my family, I think we'd be more likely to attend able to attend the meet in Michigan.

There is also a proposal for New Hampshire.

 

With a bit of luck, an announcement might be able to be made by turkey day.

Why east coast? Those of us out west have to drive (or fly) across the country for the event. How about something more centrally located so ALL members can consider attending? I guess no one to blame for the national always being held out east when none of the west organizations step up with a proposal to host. How about west one year, central the next and east after that. Continue the rotation from the 4th year. An organization I belonged to when I was a working stiff held an annual conference every year during the winter months. It moved the conference across the southern part of the country year after year (no one cares to be in Minnesota in February but FL, TX or CA is tolerable). Some years you may be able to drive to the conference but have to fly other years. The BOD can talk to the organizations in the different areas of the country to convince one of them to host the national. If moved like this annually, a particular section of the country will see an annual in their area every 4th year. Just my $.02.

2013 Idaho was my first national event, in 2016 Colorado besides seeing friends and having a great time I got my first Iron Butt returning home..... lets see what the National Meet 2018 brings. It sure would make for a great ride!

Based on the 2 possible sites so far, my vote is for Michigan. Never been to that area of the country yet so would have a good reason to ride out there and ride the great roads out that way. Closest I got was Chicago. MICHIGAN!!! :chpr

Just finished reading both 2018 national meet proposals and will say the Michigan proposal was very well done. Kudos to the Michigan team who put together their proposal.

Hello everyone.

 

I want to thank the Events committee and the BOD for selecting the Great Lakes Proposal. Our team put on a great regional meet last year and we are looking forward to having the rest of the nation joining us in July 2018 in the great state of Michigan. Stay tuned as we roll out the details including hotels and registration coming soon.
