Reading IV Planning -- Reading, PA 2003

Seraph · #1 07-30-2002, 01:11 AM

I know this is early but all things must start at one time or another by one person or the other. I am not a big planner. I just want Reading to be a little earlier or later than this year on a sunny day. Normally, Reading Meets are held around April if I recall....

So... fill in the rest. I started this one.

Seraph - Lwin.

The Reading SVX meet is always held around Aprils Fool Day.
After all we do own SVXes and why else would the "Reading " Meet be held in Morgantown.

I vote for the Holiday Inn in Denver Pa. Now that we have all these 'youngin' SVXers that live in the Lancaster PA area, I say to them plan Reading IV.

PS: IV is not something you take intraveniously. It is the Roman (Latin) numeral for 4. As we used to say in high school, "Latin is a dead language, and it's killing me."

I agree regarding the Holiday Inn in Denver. A much better location, and if I recall, the owner of the hotel has an SVX.

Oh, and I will do what I can to help in planning, but would like some assistance from another area SVXer as I will be starting school in a few weeks.

As one of the "charter members" of the Reading meet, I would not be opposed to making it a week or so later (as some had suggested). My son would also be grateful, since it would take it out of the range of his birthday.

Mike, Nubs, Jake . . . you, know -- Youze guys -- take the torch and run with it. I'm also Okay with Denver (especially since the lowest rate we could get at HI/Morgantown was 79.00 per night, and Denver was offering 49.00).

Holiday Inn Denver for $49/night? That's a steal...

Anyhoo, I'd be glad to pitch in to help organize Reading IV, with the hotels. I've a few connections to travel agents.

I believe randy already has the email address of the owner of the HI in denver. He offered the rates as a specail deal to fellow SVX owners if I remember correctly. I'm sure we can get him to offer those rates again.

Look what I started -- Keep it up boys and girls. We had 40 at Reading III if I counted correctly. We want at least the same number if not more.

So how about shooting for a date where daylight saving time has kicked in & we have a daytime average temperature above 40 degrees! Be careful - upon what date does Easter fall in 2003?

Daylight Savings Time arrives in Pennsylvania early in the morning Sunday, April 6, 2003

Easter Sunday is on Sunday, April 20, 2003

April 11-13 is one week later than the traditional "first full weekend in April" date for Reading, (which this year would have been April 4,5,6) and is the weekend prior to the Easter holiday.

For the past two years I had arranged for the hotel contract with the Morgantown Holiday Inn. The Denver Holiday Inn offer showed up late, after we had made arrangements. We thought it would not be fair to the Morgantown HI to cancel reservations and go down the street. We decided to try the Denver HI this year. The owner of the Denver HI has an SVX and authorized his general manager to offer the low rate.

Randy has the letter which outlines the offer (rates, etc., contact, phone)

Does Friday, April 11 to Sunday, April 13, 2003 sound like a workable date for Reading IV? (Otherwise it goes to April 25-27)
