MWG19 Winter is coming
Well boys and girls, it's that time again. The 19th edition of Mid-Winter Gathering on the schedule.
By now, everyone is tired of the rules, so I'll skip them again this year. Date: Jan 12, 2019 Time: Noon until 5 Place: my house, if you need the address, please PM me It is hard to believe that this meet has happened every January since 2001, but it has. Let me know if you can attend. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. |

A definite "maybe"? We should be there this year.

Bummer! We will be in Cincy for the Winter Beater Meet. :banghead:
|
We hope to be there |
Kathy and I should be there! Sorry that we missed last year due to travel conflicts :coat:
|
I'll make the same flimsy assertion I do every year. We'll try.

We’d love to be there! It’s a couple of miles too far in winter weather.... :hello: |

We'll be there unless the weather keeps us in Delaware.

Thanks to Ken & Nancy for hosting this event.
I am in. Like airfares hotel rates (and the points required are based on occupancy rates). I made my reservation minutes ago. I can stay at the Embassy Suites in Center City Philly for $4.70, not including parking. So my plan is to arrive around noon, with a "hostess gift" that went over fairly well a few years ago. Then head off to Philly in time for the "Managers Complimentary Happy Hour" from 5-7 PM. Then walk to the Oyster House (formerly known as the Sanson Street Oyster House (since 1947), then on to Chris's Jazz Café down Sanson Street after that. Spend the night (rather than make the six + hour round trip (depending on traffic) Wake up on Sunday, eat the cook to order breakfast, then go on to visit with my 100 year old Mother on Long Island. P.S. To Ken F: Please keep booking events at Hilton properties :-) I guess I know why you switched Gettysburg from the Hilton Garden Inn to the Holiday Inn Express :-( . |

I seem to remember it cooperating every year I've attended. You must be living right.

Never gets 'old', Ken & Nancy. GREAT to spend a little time with everyone. Thanks once again for the fabulous hospitality. Sure goes a long way towards getting us thru the winter :D Made it home before the snow (but just barely). Thanks again, guys! |
I echo Roy's comments. ^ It's always a great time and so nice to see old friends. :thumbup: Might post a couple photos later, but unfortunately, some folks had already left before I thought to take any. :banghead:

Here are a few pics:

Thanks once again, Ken and Nancy. A great time, great people, great food. I ran into the edge of the snowfall at Fort Meade and it was on and off until Alexandria. Now it's serious. Again , thanks for a great long-lived gathering.
|
As always... Thank you Ken and Nancy for hosting.
Great to see the regulars and those that aren't so regular. Thanks of course to everyone who bought some raffles for Make A Wish as well. Every ticket counts! |
Thank you all for coming. And thank you Gene for taking pictures. It's a shame that Clint left before we got a picture of the Lambo in the driveway. Yes, there really was a Gallardo in my driveway yesterday.

|
Thanks again Nancy and Ken for opening your home for a great party EVERY year with great people and, great food. See you at Shamokin Dam for Spring Fling 2019. Can't wait.
Sylvia and Tom |
Thanks Gary!

Thanks again for your hospitality! It was good to see everyone. |
