Reading NINE planning thread
 

So here we go......

Looks like we have the dates of Reading IX as Friday, April 18 - Sunday, April 20, 2007

I have also been in contact with Sydney Simpson at the Morgantown HI to give her a heads up for reservations that weekend.

Since we ran out of accommodations at the 35-room level, I decided to up the quantity to 50 rooms. This year the room cutoff will be 60 days prior to the start of the meet.

This means that if you are even remotely thinking of attending, get on the list early to secure your room. Your CC will not be charged and you can cancel up to 24 hours before you are scheduled to arrive.

This will be easier than trying to add rooms to a smaller block at the last minute. You could even reserve more than one room and sell it to someone who finds out about this too late to get a room.

I am also in discussions about our dissatisfaction with the last-minute Saturday lunch changes and how to prevent this in the future. We will also discuss how we can make it better and run more efficiently than last year.

I was going to say I want 16, but my timing was good haha. I'll be there along with whatever girlfriend (or wife?) I have at the time.

This year I was in the doldrums just before Reading Viii, but now I psyched up for Reading iX.

PS: I think we should take up a collection (say $10 per person) as a "Send this Needy, Far-away SVXer to Reading Fund." We could do this every year, staring with Reading IX. This way we could get one left coaster (No offense Earl), or a European, or a Middle Eastern, or even a Down Under SVXer to Reading each year. We have quite a few extra SVXes in this area that can be used as 'loaners'. (SUBYDOO is always available) Accomodations and food (drink?) shouldn't be a problem (scarcity of drink never seems to be a problem at Reading). The fund can be used to defray airfare expenses. We could start small at first, bringing just one person from the west coast, later, funds permitting, maybe we can open it up to a married couple, or an SVXer outside the US. Please, let's discuss this. It seems like a worthwhile idea. All of us can afford at least $10 per year (2 less 6-packs or 3 less packs of cigaretes per year).

HEY! you took my 16!
