READING 17 date change: POLL

.

I get asked this question about every 3-4 years, Some want to know why we couldn't move Reading a little later into early May to have the benefit of warmer weather, both day and evening (and into the wee hours)

Seems the only complaint about this year's meet was the cold and the wind,


In 2016, the first full weekend in May is Mother's day. (May 6-8)

The third weekend (May 20-22) could conflict with college exams or graduation events.
The last weekend of the month (May 27-29) is Memorial Day weekend


FOR 2016, what is your feeling about the second weekend? May 13-15, 2016.


Just three weeks later than the current dates. If interested, voting in the above poll should be done by serious potential Reading attendees, past and present. Even if you don't want to vote, your feelings snd opinions are valued.

This poll will close after 60 days just for gauging interest. Hotel will be contacted to see if there are any conflicting events in the for this weekend; proms/weddings/ other groups.

It didn't work so well last time we moved it into May. Lots of people had issues with Finals, Graduations and Weddings as I recall.

That was a little too late far into May last time. That was at Reading XII on May 20-22, 2011
This time it would be a week earlier. Had 34 signed up and attending

Here is the Reading XII date poll and beginning posts. Although the third weekend was chosen by only a couple of votes, the solid second choice was the second weekend in May. Leaving it in April came in last.

ORIGINAL Readings were first weekend in April. Then moved to third weekend in April for warmer weather. Moved to late May for warmer weather and back again. This may be the perfect balance... and only 370 days away.
