Any discussion yet about the changes of a Gathering this year?
I'm sure it is on the minds of a lot of folks but I think you're the first to ask.
Not that it matters but I'll be "tiny house living on wheels" most of May and June, and maybe into early July, so if it is held during that time period I would not be able to attend.
Mark & Jan asked me about it last week.
It is completely open for discussion. I don't want to dictate a location or time or if we still try for Ft. Worth or some other location. It's crazy times, all bets are off. You guys throw suggestions out there and we'll figure it out.

WOW! Dave gets some publicity with the "OLD" car. Hoorah. I've been wondering about the plans myself. Can't make any just yet. Our status is changeable.
I am very much in favor of still going to Ft. Worth. And at this point, maybe October is still the safest bet.
I am sure a lot of work went into setting up all the logistics and I would not want to see that thrown out the window.

I'm in favor of it. It's been 40 years since I was in that part of the country. Byran put a fair amount of legwork into putting together the agenda as well as working with the host hotel multiple times. As I understand it COVID will not be entirely going away in the near future but hopefully it will settle down enough so folks can feel comfortable getting together in relative safety. Perhaps by fall the case numbers will be low enough for that to happen.
Just my two cents, but I think Texas and Bryan should get the priority. Weather we go or not, he has significant time and effort into preparation for those who will attend. If it just requires activation, give him the nod.
I would like to see us go to Ft. Worth as it's been scheduled there for the last couple years. We could schedule it for the fall time frame like last year. Also, I can't drive as far as I used to and might be my last chance at a gathering. I'll go along with whatever you guys decide.
They just opened the John Wayne museum in the Ft. Worth stockyards. It's pretty cool and quite extensive.

oh man.. I was all in on Fort Worth until you mentioned John Wayne!
jk... Fort Worth would be cool for me.
So, where are we at with this, guys?
Should we reach out to Brian to see if he's willing to do this yet again?
Should we pick somewhere new?
Is there even enough people willing to do attend any Member Gathering this year?
Should I send out a survey to get a feel from everyone?

Same date in TX works for my “migration” schedule.
I'm ready to go to Texas, just have to change the oil and check the tires. Just let me know when and what hotel.
Linda and I are just waiting for the word, we're still planning to see the Ft. Worth area, I've never been there. I say, "if Bryan is still willing, give him the go ahead" Hoping to see everyone soon๐.
