MT member meeting?

[Wing Woo Gar]

Not sure this is the best spot for this but is it possible to coordinate a meet up of members for trading training?

I’ve been lucky enough to meet @JowGaWolf , @yak sao , @Gerry Seymour ,@lklawson, @Brian R. VanCise, & @Bill Mattocks in person so far. I’d love to meet and train with more of you.

They use to have an MT meet way back in the days of the Mighty Bob Hubbard.... I believe they were in the Buffalo area in those days

The ideas been kicked around before. I'd be up for it, if someone were to organize it.

Coordinating a large scale meet up is a lot of work. It certainly can be done, and has been in the past... but someone needs the bandwidth to handle it. That ain't me!

Small meet ups are great, and many have done it. Rich Parsons and I have crossed paths a few times, and many others have too.

I don’t imagine I’m up to the challenge of coordinating such a thing myself, but I would certainly pledge a contribution to any efforts. I was just trying to feel it out.

I imagine one the biggest challenges would be geography. I think the active members of the forum are pretty scattered. I’d be willing to drive a few hours for a meetup, maybe longer for the sake of a full day or two of training, but I don’t have the spare time or funds for cross-country flights at this point.

(If it turned out that Kentucky was a convenient mid-point for people to gather, I could definitely offer my home gym as a meeting point.)

Personally, kentucky would be doable for me, if we had enough people going.

It is likely, unless it is real close, that I would not attend. I didn't go to the last one in Buffalo and that was about 300 miles away, but several MT members at the time did go. I also do not have the time to set up or organize something like this, However I do think it is a nice idea

I have meant a few other members of MT while traveling with the family. I had one member in my area once who wanted to meet with me, but I did not have the time due to work and family obligations. I regret not taking the time to meet with him because not long after he did pass away.

As a side note, if anyone is ever travelling near raleigh, north carolina feel free to message me to meet up.

I liked Kentucky, it was beautiful, what town is your gym in?

 

[Wing Woo Gar]

I’m near Eureka California, any of you are welcome.

Lexington

 

[JowGaWolf]

My guess is that it may be better to split things by area. That way there are more than one place to go. Recreation centers often rent rooms for cheap if everyone chips in.

In some cases it's possible to rent a gym.

Anyone who wants to visit Lexington can be my guest at my home gym, no charge.

Additionally, as others said, I'm open to providing input on planning. I have quite a bit of experience in planning events/seminars/workshops/projects, etc.

That was fun. I learned a lot about how much I don't know that day.
