Excellent! What are the thoughts about going back to Centennial Park? Are we going to pay to reserve a site? That was always the hangup about that place.

[98legwag]

We would have to pay. Its not very much. But we think it would be worth it.

The pavilions are $165 for residents.. but the problem is, that is just one pavilion. We only used one pavilion before (mostly E, but we did spill over into F one year), but we used the parking for all three (E, F, and G). I think that unless we reserved all three of those sites, we are going to be fighting for parking. This is why we never did it there past April 1.

Yeah, we are still talking about it. Nothing is set yet. We are thinking to hold the meet in May for better weather.

[Dead91silvia]

Hmm... Lets see where it goes. I'm hoping to make it, but family and other things may have conflicts this year. Also, I need to talk to Yamazaki as well. Hope I can make it again this year. It's always a fun time for me! :)

[Hinyo]

We can figure it out for sure! Otherwise I can try to think about some other good options in the area!

[98legwag]

This is just a thought. NOVA Subarus is hosting a large event on Sunday May 7th in Farifax, VA. There will be sponsors and giveaways at their event. Would you all be open in holding our meet on the 6th so the out of town people would have the option to stay and go to both? Again, its just a thought.

[thenines']

If all goes well with school-I would be open to that weekend

[98legwag]

Another location we are looking into is at Liberty Dam in Marriottsville, MD. Its a nice scenic area. We are going to see if they have picnic areas and grills and look into if we need to reserve anything.

[Muse]

I'm hoping to have money saved up from a new job by then. School shouldn't be an issue... I'm pretty sure the only weak link for me might be the actual car. Hopefully I'll have it in better shape by then!

[amusa]

Just throwing this out in the open.
Black Hill Regional Park
Seneca Creek State Park
Lake Needwood (Rock Creek Regional Park)
Cabin John regional Park

I know back in the day they hold meet at the Kiss and Ride lots

[98legwag]

I have thought about those locations since I live in MOCO. But I think they would be crowded. I also need to find out cost for renting a pavilion there.

[Rubie_25GT]

There is a Dam by me called Liberty Dam that would be a very scenic location and will definitely fit everyone. It also has a nice and windy road going down to it. I shot a video there recently with my drone:

As far as I know (and have read), you can grill there. If anyone has a grill they would want to bring that would work. I believe there are some grills there, but you can't see them in the video. Here is the location on the map. It is parked with the small gray marker. You just have to search "Liberty Dam Road" pretty much.

Here are some shots I took yesterday of the Dam parking area. I did not see any Dam grills or a Dam bathroom. As far as I can tell, you can bring a grill to cook out.

What are we supposed to do with no Dam bathroom??:laughing5:

[rkrenicki]

Do we have any idea on a date at this point?

[98legwag]

Still working on it. Early May works better for me personally than late May. Any input? Everyone else can throw out dates that work them as well.

[amusa]

May look good so far for me. Since I'm getting ready to fly out to the West Coast in a week and half from now. I'm also flying out to the mid west for my cousin wedding in April but I will confirm the date in few weeks right now it's not time to ask since we have a death in the family.

[2000gtb]

should have it at a track where we can do show n shine and track.

[Muse]

I like the looks of Liberty Dam, especially with our cars being called Libertys in Aus.

Sadly, it's looking like my Legacy won't make it. Might have to show up to an SL-i meet in a Honda. But I still want to come see all you guys.

[Senseless1]

I'm in if it's in the DMV area the closer to June it is the more likely I'll be able to bring my boosted legacy. May is fine too, that gives me a deadline to move my butt. In any case, I promote meets in the DMV area on social media and would be happy to advertise through my channels.

[98legwag]

We normally keep the meet just for the SLI group.

[Rubie_25GT]

After further research, we can't do any dam cooking at liberty dam so I would scratch that off. We can rent a pavilion at centennial park for fairly cheap. I'll confirm pricing. As for the date, Boxerfest is Sunday June 11th. So we could have our meet on Saturday June 10th if anyone wants to go to Boxerfest the next day and make a weekend of it. Feel free to make suggestions on dates.

[98legwag]

We also discussed the weekend before Boxerfest. June 3rd.

[thenines']

I like that-I think WBM is the next weekend after- May is only good after memorial day weekend for me

[rkrenicki]

I should be okay with either one.

[rkrenicki]

Any more discussion on the date? I just want to know if I should be buying a ticket to Boxerfest or not :)

[98legwag]

The issue with the day before Boxerfest is there are some people who are about an hour to two hours away who would have to do a lot driving in two days. They have said they prefer not to.

[geckoboy86]

Ya. If its the day before, I'll have to pass. I can't afford to do 2 trips down.

And since I already bought my Boxerfest ticket, Thats gonna get priority.

[98legwag]

Updated the first post with information on date time and location.

[rkrenicki]

As asked on Facebook, we are 100% sure on this date, yes? If so, I will order my Boxerfest ticket this evening. I would just like positive confirmation before doing that.

I will double check with Tim. I think he still needs to call Howard County about the pavilion.

[98legwag]

All the pavilions at the park are booked. We are looking into more options.

[98legwag]

Updated the first post again.

[98legwag]

I would like to start getting an attendance list going. Please post if you are going to make it. I will add a list of attendees to the first post.

[rkrenicki]

I will be there for sure.

[thenines']

I'm confused-it's on June 10th and at centennial park? if so, sign me up-I'll go to boxerfest too! Who wants to buy me a ticket (it's my birthday!)

Its on June 10th at Liberty Dam.
rkrenicki can you please delete post #32 so it doesn't confuse people about the location?

Done.

[98legwag]

Thank you

[98legwag]

Is anyone else confirmed they will make it?

[thenines']

I want to see if I can get Muse (Mike) to ride shotgun with me-had a great time doing it two years ago.

[amusa]

My sister family flying in from the West Coast around that time. Once we get into June I will have a better answer if I can make it.

[thenines']

I'm still looking for someone to drive down with me-If I do head down, what town would locate me between the meet and boxerfest?

I would say probably look into Columbia or Laurel. Both are right on I95 between the locations.

[geckoboy86]

I'm sadly not going to be able to attend. Had conflicts with schedules at my work and being the manager, I need to fill in.

[thenines']

I've got a lot of s*** on my plate-So, unfortunately, I won't be down this year:sad1:

[amusa]

I can't make it.
