If you feel you can make, do it. This will be my first time at the dinner and I will personally know 1 or 2 guys but look forward to meeting more folks I come across on this forum. I read 100 times more posts than I actually "post" I have gained alot from all the great guys out there .
It could give you an opportunity to connect with some Jersey guys, and even some Jersey train clubs if you are so interested .Besides, I hear its usually separate checks so that makes it very fair. I'm not even there yet and I know I will enjoy myself .
If you decide to go, I look forward to meeting you!
All the best at home!
