George, have you settled on a place yet?

Jim, not yet, still getting some suggestions but Hartford or somewhere in CT is still in the running !!!! 

[Jaime]

Count me in. Guess it's mutual that we exclude Draft weekend? I'm good with what works for the Gang.
Private room with DVD player would be a scream! I'll be up for car pooling it.
I'm located 15 miles west of Metlife Stadium.

Maybe we can put the squeeze on the Jints front office to send a Staff Member?
Oh baby!

Jaime, I'll put you down as a 'yes'.   Although, I think that draft Sunday may be the one we end up shooting for so that will give us plenty to discuss during lunch or dinner.

[President Rick]

nothing here for a while.  is this event still a possibility????

Rick, yes it's going to happen, just not sure where yet but it looks like the last Sunday in April, end of draft weekend, is the date we're looking at. 

[giantsguy]

It appears the date will be the last Sunday in April, the last day of the draft.  Where, what restaurant is still up for grabs.  I assume we are going to shoot for a late lunch/early dinner and hopefully have a room where we can play the dvd of the Superbowl.  Jim V. has replied with an OK with the date and possibly good for Lenn too.

Still waiting to hear from the rest.

[tomeee]

As of now I'm good for 4/29 that is unless Trump invites me to play at one of his courses.

[giantsguy]

Ok guys, it's getting to be crunch time.  The date will be April 29th.

As it stands now, we're looking at a small group.  Depending on the location, it may be anywhere from 5-10 at most.  It seems that most prefer lower NYS to upper NJ for the meeting place.  If we can agree on this for those interested, the next step is to pick a spot. 

Is it worth the travel for such a small group?  Thoughts??

[jimv]

Lower NYS & I'm out.  Sorry.

[President Rick]

our plans changed for a visit to my Mom's which will now be in May.  Sorry.
we are still planning on camp in albany and the BBQ though..

[vette]

George, perhaps a list of names and where they are coming from?

[giantsguy]

Ed, good idea...  if everyone could fill-in their locations, maybe we could get a better handle on where to meet.  Thanks.

jimv: Maine
giantsguy:  upstate NY - troy
LennG:  Long Island
mightygiants:  upstate NJ
vette:  upstate NJ

Jim, looking at the list and where everyone is coming from, this group has traditionally met between Albany and Northern NJ in Fishkill. That would be near Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Woodstock. How far south would you be looking to come? Where in CT. would be reasonable for you? Would Paul come?
