DURAND - ANYONE UP FOR A SPRING MEET????

[David Lang]

Well guys, a Spring Meet in Durand would be fun if enough were interested. Since April is still a bit cool yet, and Saturdays always have worked out well, our May Saturdays are May 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30. I suppose June would work too, but that's really not spring anymore, but if June is better, it doesn't matter to me.

Ok, lets vote - majority rules, but I do try to work this around everyone's schedule as much as I can.

Dave, I know you don't get on this board that often, but please try to look or do a search through the threads here for info about meets before posting about it. You can search for "durand" or "deshler" and results come up.

We are having a little mini-meet in Durand May 9th, please see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12488

The main railroadfan.com meet we had a poll on is still in the spring, June 12-14, main day being June 13th in Deshler Ohio. Take a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11836

Dave just to mind you we're still over a month away from it. Wait until mid-April then remind everyone of the meet. Its still a long ways out and some ppl are unsure if they can make it or not.

[Railnut]

Well..yeah..lol. I figure I would put the shout out..best to try to get things buttoned down now than in the last week (LOL)..I would like to return the grandeur to the Durand meets.

DURAND!!!!

Heh, I'll need to make a trip home somewhere around those dates anyway, so...if I have the chosen weekend off, I'll definitely try to make the meet. I too miss the old days of the Spring and Fall meets (and the abundance of activity on the message boards that the meets were first organized on...not that I don't appreciate the wealth of information here on Zack's site though).

yaaaay! Durand. count me in guys. It's for May 9th right?

[David Lang]

OK guys, I think the logical thing to do is to combine your meet with the Lower Michigan Railroads meet to one big day, so May 9th works for us if it works for you all!!!! I look forward to it! All are welcome to attend. Come and go as you please. We will see you all there in Durand at the Durand Union Station on Saturday May 9th. As it gets closer, lets organize a few volunteers who want to bring hot dogs, buns, chips, cookies, etc so we can have lunch with the railfan grill!!!!

Zack - Thanks so much for your support!!!!

[TrainNut85]

hey if it works we should all wear name tags so everyone that shows up can be identified.

[JANGAJONGA]

[David Lang]

All,

Don't forget our Annual Durand Meet is Saturday May 9th. All are welcome. Come and go as you please. Hope to see you there! Thanks.

(P.S. - as it gets closer, we can talk in more detail about the railfan grill, food, etc.)

heres the evil twin post of this (LOL).

Ignore the part of me and traingirl21 moving there, it didn't happen due to financial reasons. But so far quite a few ppl are or wanna show up, while others are in the debating stage or awaiting to see if they have the day off for it.

Wait a second...what?

BUMP, almost a week to go!

Almost a week? Isn't it more like a week and a half?

I wish I could have made it up there for this one...sounds like it's going to be a good time.

[David Lang]

All,

Well, our Durand meet is less than a week away now - Saturday May 9th. I cannot attend b/c my wife is in a big yank to get the basement finished so the kids can start playing down there, so I'm off this Friday and am going to be working on it w/ my dad, her dad, the neighbor down the street, etc. all weekend. Sorry, but gotta keep the boss happy right Don Simon? (haha).

Have fun everyone!
