It is getting to be that time of year once again folks!!!


I wanted to get a jumpstart on this years event to give more members a chance to try and attend if they would like!

As always I would like to select a weekend in late March or Early April to visit one of West Virginias many state parks and recreation areas. There are many to choose from, and starting early will allow us more chances and options of selection.


Previous years locations:

2003 Pipestem
2004 Twin Falls
2005 North Bend
2006 Pipestem
2007 North Bend
2008 Blackwater Falls
2009 Summersville
2010 North Bend
2011 Blackwater Falls
2012 Oglebay
2013 Twin Falls
2014 Nowhere  :cry:
2015 Blackwater Falls
2016  ??? YOU DECIDE


If there is a particular park you like, or one that you'd like to visit but haven't gotten the chance please feel free to make a suggestion!

Id love to make this event open to all of our surrounding states and various friends!

As of right now, my "most" available dates with school are March 18th-20th, 2016 and March 25th-27th, 2016 as these are my spring break dates. However, I realize that the latter of the two dates is most likely out due to being easter weekend! That being said, is not to say that we can't have it another weekend, these are just the most available for me. Don't let that keep you from suggesting another weekend!

Last year was a great success, for the most part  >:D, and a TON of fun! Lets make this year the same!
 
As of right now: It looks like the location is going to be North Bend State Park


Being that I haven't gotten my schedule for spring semester just yet, I am playing it safe with the dates for now.

As of right now these are the dates I have in mind:

March 18th-20th, 2016 Being that this includes palm Sunday, who would this effect?

April 1st-3rd, 2016

April 8th-10th, 2016

All of these dates (as of now) I will have class on Friday and will not arrive until later in the evening. So, unfortunately I will not be able to "host a cabin" (as of now)

I just wanted to get some dates out there so we can begin to plan and allow members to get it on their calendar to check for conflicts.  (y)
 
Pick some dates and let me know when to be there... how was North Bend picked missed that part of the discussion,lol

Nobody really had any input, and I was planning on doing North Bend last year, but they had a "ladies quilting/craft" weekend that weekend, so we got booted to somewhere else. The last North Bend GTG was in 2010, and its a pretty central location for a lot of the members from OH/PA, and the WV members of course  >:D

Absolutely!

UPDATE:

I called North Bend yesterday... Although it I couldn't find it on their website, they are again, hosting a "craft weekend" on the weekend in question I was hoping for.  :E: They are also hosting events each weekend before then, and after easter and clear up into the end of April.  :rolleyes:

Simply stated, North Bend is out of the picture as of now.

So, I am back to the planning and discussion phase. I have a couple of locations in my back pocket, and plan to research a couple of other locations this weekend!

Stay tuned for updates!
 
I am working on this.. For now, It will be the weekend of March 18th-20th, 2016 so tenatively mark it on you calenders. It is possible that it may get pushed depending on availability. I am working on a location at the moment that will suit our group as well as be reasonable cost wise. As well as a place we haven't visited many times!

I am so sorry I have delayed this GTG this long. I have had a lot going on, and I am trying to get back in the swing of things.

I'm not too far from Gassaway, down in Nicholas County, on the other side of Summersville. It would be great to meet a new member!

This GTG is a GO!!!!!

Details to follow in a bit  (y) (y)
I'm going to need a break. Maybe it's time for NC to come back to WV and stop rather than just drive through.
