Pre-York Breakfast, 4/11/19....Pics Added AM 4/12

Looking forward to it and will have a Trainstock hat for you.

BTW, I wish Gilly well in the Vette. Runflats are good for about 50 miles and try to find a replacement outside a populated area.

Will miss seeing you guys this time....  OGR won't have an "official" booth at the Spring York but several of our staff will be there and we will still have the OGR Grandstanding meeting and of course the get together at Quaker Steak and Lube.  Guys....save a few bottles of that maple syrup for this coming fall...

Enjoy!

Alan

I'll be there!!!!

My Daughter & I will be at Round The Clock around 8:30. We will have a booth near you all.

I wish I could be there Peter!!  Hopefully I'll join everyone in the Fall!

I will be there with my wife, Sue. Being a table-holder, I will have to leave in time to get to the fairgrounds to set up. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the kind words. One thing. I didn't put Runflats on the Vette. We're running barefoot, so to speak....

Count on Jerry and me arriving around 8:00.

I will be there around 8 too - looking forward to seeing those I already know and meeting those i know only virtually through the forum.

Thanks Peter for organizing this.

Just curious...what do you folks do between 9 and the noon meet opening? I would guess the diner would not want you taking up seats all morning. I realize some are dealers.

As I have posted in the past.....(and since a few have asked since the last York)

After breakfast, if you get to the Fairgrounds with nothing to do until noon....

Stop by and visit my portable layout.  Trains running, whistles blowing, DCS dcsing...running from 9:30ish to 11:30ish

I've been bringing my portable layout to York for a few years now.  Gives me something to do as we wait for the grand opening, (weather permitting, but most likely a go!)

Last York the weather was lousy... I decided not to set it up... it was so windy, the wind would have derailed 'em!  Some members came by anyway... sorry to disappoint!

I really hope we have sunny skies this time around!

Just look for the big grey van, with its teeny tiny layout, about 100' in front of the Purple Hall doors in the RV parking area!

Stop by and say, "Hi"... no headcount required

As always, Peter, hope the piggyback on your thread is OK! (and that you stop by for a visit!)

ps. Joe, I just discovered your b'day is the day before mine!  I guess that makes you older, right?

I'm missing this one as well Mark. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for October but have to see when inventory will be and if I have any days left by then.

Count me in for breakfast!

EddieM - I look forward to seeing the set-up this time after the bad weather in the fall.

Joe - I usually read, relax, and listen to music in my car between breakfast and Noon.  Then I head into the Orange Hall lobby and socialize some more.   If I can break away around 12:45 I go to the Red Hall and start there. If not, I just start with the Orange Hall. Time goes pretty quickly.   A lot of the folks who attend come in on Wednesday or earlier to they have a room to go back to.   Personally, I prefer to get there early and socialize at breakfast and then wait at the Fairgrounds instead of fighting traffic and getting there closer to the opening.

Yes, if you are 77 or younger.

I'm so miserable that no one wants to socialize with me. 

O.K.  youz  guyz..........unless something unusual happens.......such I need to go to work........I'll be there @ 7:30 +/-. 

Hoping that it'll be a pleasant drive up Rte 15, then a right on 30.....etc........would be a BONUS if the weather is nice enough for opening all 6 windows !

What say, Eddie G?  I await the weather prognostication......

Eddie is busy packing. Forecast is 65 and rain, which means it will be 58 and sunny.

I can't wait for those great home fries. I order 2 sunny side up eggs and mix them into the home fries. YUM YUM.

Thanks for setting this up Peter.  You can add me to the list.  Thank you

Joe.....when we get to the Fairgrounds about 10:30 or so, many of us congregate in the Orange Hall Lobby and just visit and catch up. We meet up with those who couldn't make breakfast and are just arriving.
