Yeah pretty much.

IDK then. Would a quarterly near PA meet be possible? Or even a 1-2 times a year meet?

3+ hours round trip to potentially not have a good turn out sucks for us.

I'm just going to say no right now. Our base is VA/DC/MD and that isn't likely to change.

Interesting.

What can I say. It's a VA/DC/MD club. We do have a few people on the fringe in PA and DE (even one in WV), but by and large (95%) the core is VA/DC/MD.

Not asking for you to say anything. I do think that the quick response of a flat out no to my question of "how about once a year" is ******** but whatever.

Hey I'll be up for Carlisle again in the Spring for sure.

Sorry you feel that way. It just doesn't make much sense from my end to do that when the vast majority of our members are based in DC/MD/VA. It's much easier to have the handful of PA people (two registered) come to a MD meet (either a regular meet or special event) if it looks like we are going to have a large crowd.

Please keep in mind that since inception in 2009 the club has always been focused on the DC-Metro area. It's not ********, I just have to draw the line somewhere.

Going to Fairfax is about a 3 hr round trip for me just because of all the traffic on the way back home. I don't go to Fairfax meets very often, but I do make it to a couple of them every year.

Two locations is fine IMO.

How about we rename Fairfax "Baja Maryland?"

We could do meats in MD every week that way.

Just throwing this out there. Why are we looking at making another meet closer to DC? I hate driving to Fairfax because of all the traffic and if I'm going to go its because I'm going to visit my brother afterwards. Rockville and the like are just the same as driving all the way to Fairfax as far as I'm concerned. There really is nothing wrong with the current Columbia meet place. I think some are just butt hurt that no one is attending meets regularly in the winter. Sorry, but I'm not interested in standing in a parking lot and freezing my arse off.

If anything I'd propose a place further north to help spread out meet up areas. For example the Hunt Valley Town Center. There's no starbucks but there are other coffee shops there.

If the Columbia meet up location gets moved further south I will no longer be attending meet ups at all. Sorry.
