Re: Activities for Reading 13
Buffers or Buffy notwithstanding, I have some thoughts/questions. It's nice the group is flexible and sort of coalesces around activities at Reading, but it would be better to plan a bit.
For next year, I'd like to suggest that we start a thread that's just for volunteer organizers and helpers. People could put their "I'm willing to help" entries there. Also, it might be good for one of the previous planners to lay out what actions need to be taken (and a lead time?) for meets like Reading. My local car club had trouble organizing their events until the prez created a list of "jobs" - e.g., coordinate registration, vendors, door prizes, or the 50/50 - and gave a one-line description of the effort involved. This really increased participation as volunteers know what they were getting into, who has related tasks, and that they won't have to try to create a car show by themselves.
Regarding this year, is there anything being considered for Thursday night? And is a dinner at the Cafe a possibility for Sat (or Fri) night again this year? I don't want to be off on a cruise or fooling around when fun food stuff is happening....
Finally, for this year, whoever knows how Reading plays out - or for future meets, is the coordinator for activities - could post a list of events along with ball-park timing. Even a "Saturday night: Hang out with crowd in HI parking lot, and hold raffle, starting at 8-ish, to whenever...." entry could be helpful for noobs. I remember wondering before my first Reading.
Regardless, I can't wait for this weekend!

With fond memories of:
'95 LSi, a stock, superb, polo green, "not a garage queen"; Miss May in the '09 calendar! Sold in 2016.  
'63 Studebaker Avanti; almost 20 years later, "open hood, pour in money" but what a design!
'64 Studebaker Daytona, red w/rag top; part of the Presidential Parade (as in DC) & probably why my right ear rings
'71 Mercedes 280 SEL; a partial restoration that always rode like a limo
'72 Datsun 240Z; simply fun, and the #2 sports car of the '70s
'73 Plymouth Scamp w/a small V-8; cute, and the faster I drove, the better the MPG
'90 Acura Legend; the last year of the first sports sedan, terrific handling plus comfy touring
