2nd Unofficial 2015 Dayton Gathering
« on: May 04, 2015, 06:54:21 PM »
As the time for the (12th?) Dayton Gathering approaches, it's time to get a head count of those planning on attending as well as get an idea of what the participants really want to do.

This years air show is June 20 and 21, 2015 at the Dayton International Airport.

At the moment there are no plans since we need player feedback to decide what the majority wants.


Basically the choices are:

1. Have the gathering at the campground which has mediocre internet at best but allows freedom of smoking, drinking, boom boom sticks, canoeing, etc.
2. Rent a hall that can offer internet and alcohol but will limit the other items mentioned above.
3. Talk Robin into allowing the gathering at SHawk's house, still limits some of the items above.
Air Show this year offers: http://www.daytonairshow.com/2015/performers/

Alternately, ( or do both? )

Move the gathering to Cleveland this year for the Air Show, Labor Day weekend in September. The performers are similar with the addition of a P-51, 2 T-51's and the Harrier. The show can also be viewed for free from the pier about a mile away.  (what we usually do)  http://www.clevelandairshow.com/acts_aircraft/acts.html#Holland

4. I can fit 2 tents and the play house can sleep 4 unless we convert it to the gaming rig room.  Spare bedroom can fit an air mattress since it only has a couch in it.  There is a vacant lot across the street that I will look into using for the weekend.  That would allow RV and tent options.


Please choose an option.

All comments are welcome.  Thanks.

Rosie and I will be present for Dayton. I like the idea of Scotts again, Its a great spot for the gathering imo.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Agreed! I have that Nagant!  Will have close to 1,000 rounds of 9MM to play with. Waiting to hear back from Tim. He had set up a range date for Saturday at 10:00am and some sort of Air Rides starting at 2:00pm. Waiting to see if this is a firm thing.

Let's just go shooting at my house at the public range at Stonewall, where you and I shot before.

We can do it either before or after the gathering, I know it's difficult for you as you're heading the opposite direction home, but no rentals, no fees and anyone is welcome to crash, we will make room.

Talked to Tim earlier today. He said that things were previously set up as stated but he will confirm before or shortly after he makes his move tomorrow.

I have set the date in stone, just need to work out the details, where to camp and what guns to bring, ect.

Rud, I intend to drive there so the vehicle part is not a problem. Would be nice to have someone to share the drive with though.

Chef, what campgrounds are you speaking of? Is there a need to reserve a site?

Negative. It's a private area but dealing with the owner can be difficult at best.

Which is why after the last two times with Chris, I will never go there again.

Well, then we need to know what the other option is. :)

It fast approaches.

Dunno. I thought most everything was set. I guess the planning aspects are out of my hands since my health went down hill recently. I'm still planning on the Air Show dates with being there. I'm either coming to camp or to just grab and go. :devil

I would like Scotts because we had a great time last time,  but I am cool with the Great Miami Adventures.

Either way,  I'm down. Bought me some nagant ammo last night :)

 :rofl Nagant ammo for what? :rofl

 :devil That baby is safe and sound in my little collection. You want my special wax job on it? :devil

I enjoyed Scotts better as well than the campgrounds. We could set systems up there with greater internet access. That's up to Scott & Robin. As well as you Nef, I need to know so I can figure my packing options in the van for bringing 3 or 4 systems or not. I have to also pack the van for an upcoming gun show for the following week. I plan on Chili for Friday with some specially blended soft drinks.
