This is a heads up, we have tentatively picked 12:30 on January 16, 2018 at Smokey Bones in Lakeland for this our 3rd annual mini rally. Please let us know who will attend so that we can let the restaurant know, we would love to see the numbers continue to grow so please come. As stated this is the preferred but still tentative if it proves to be inconvenient . Also, we felt the restaurant is conveniently located and did a good job last year, but we are open to an alternative location if anyone has a suggestion.

Cost organizers: Ed & Rene

Will be there, but alone, Jane only has off wednesdays and thursdays, its great to have a wife still supporting me!

Hfx_Cdn · « **Reply #2 on:** December 14, 2017, 07:29:39 AM »

Will, that's why we are posting early, Wednesday doesn't work for Rene, but maybe Thursday. We have lots of time to finalize a date.

Ed

Rene T · « **Reply #3 on:** December 14, 2017, 07:34:30 AM »

Good to hear from you Will. Changing the date should will not be a problem. We'll wait and see if anyone else chimes in with scheduling problems or if they are also flexible. Thanks.

Would be great to meet some forum members. Will try to be there.

Hfx_Cdn · « **Reply #5 on:** December 14, 2017, 08:18:18 AM »

Oops, Thursday the 18th is a problem for us.

I am retired so I am good any time.

Bobtop46 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 14, 2017, 10:09:58 AM »

Place marker so I can check my schedule once I return to Florida. Possible yes.

Hfx_Cdn · « **Reply #8 on:** December 14, 2017, 10:37:38 AM »

Rene, clean out some of your old PMs, I tried to respond but it is telling me that you box is full. But in answer to your question, our conflict is on the 18th, so January 25th works for us. How about other responders, including you Will, we would like to have Jane there, she has been at previous ones.
In the absence of any negatives on Smokey Bones, I think that is the location, so we are making progress scheduling the event.

I would like to have her also and she really enjoys coming to see everyone.

So let's move it to January 25th, but we need a STAFF to either allow us to change the topic, or change it to the new date. I'll PM Tom J

Ed

Rene T · « **Reply #12 on:** December 14, 2017, 03:15:09 PM »

Let a staffer lock this post and just start another one

Hfx_Cdn · « **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2017, 03:42:29 PM »

I'll wait till I hear from Tom, I already PMd him

Ed

Tom · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2017, 04:35:23 PM »

The subject line has been changed.

Rene T · « **Reply #15 on:** December 14, 2017, 05:13:39 PM »

So it's etched in stone. January 25th @ 12:30 PM at Smokey Bones in Lakeland FL.
Please send me an EMail or PM me if you plan on attending. Please give me your first name and the name of your significant other, your forum name and where you reside, summer and winter.
I already have Will & Jane, Tom S, Ed & Donna and of course meyself and my DW Lucille. That's a good start.
Last year we had 13 show up. That's a unlucky number so this year, we need to have more

I have no idea where Tom finds the time to do all the things he does on/for the Forum. Thank you for your assistance, wish you were close enough to join us. It has been quite enjoyable the past 2 years, and is the only routine Forum get together on the east coast of late.

Thanks Tom.

If you're on I-4 heading West, take Exit 32. At end of ramp stay right for US 98 North. Go to the second set of red lights and take a right. Smokey Bones will be on your right.

Great Bruce. Looking forward to seeing you too. 2.5 cats!!

Is one a kitten?

Hfx_Cdn · « **Reply #23 on:** December 15, 2017, 03:21:39 PM »

Redandsilver, I'd say the date is now set for January 25th at 12:30. See you there

wackymac · « **Reply #24 on:** December 15, 2017, 03:49:29 PM »

Rene T---No, but Rusty is so big he counts as 1.5 cats. This summer, when we got back from OR and CA, that trip made it his 15th time across the U.S. We can't let him go on the bed in the back 'cause the front wheels will come off the ground. It will be neat to see everyone again.

Now that's a cat.

Tom S, can yours compete with this one?

Tarzan is no competition. He weighs 17 pounds and not a bit of fat. Jane is at 16 pounds and she has some fat. Cleopatra is 12 pounds and lean.

Thanks. As far as I know I will attend - I'll be the one on a motorcycle as that is my only form of travel outside
of the MH which is parked and probably not going to be driven till the end of March - unless plans change.

RedandSilver, please take some pics for your Michigan brother and other unfortunates unable to attend.
It's great to put faces with names!
It seriously pains me that our coach that we have spent one night in is sitting in storage whilst we sit in freezing temps.
We must remain patient and live vicariously thru you.
Peace all.

Is Ocala Forest Gary Brink going to attend?
