Northeast Discus meeting 2008---updated with Pics and Info

[Eyecandy]

Hi Al... Great idea.. We will be coming to visit the grandkids, near Marion and New Haven, but unfortunately it will be later in the summer so we will have to miss this one.. But... we are plannning on moving out there (near Mystic or Woodstock) as soon as the re market here in Georgia gets a bit better.. so plan on our being there and maybe hosting in the future... maybe some homemade brew of our own too... By the time we move out there or vacation next time, you guys will have the thing completely worked out and all we'll have to do is help bbq and clean up... sounds like a great idea.. We would love to met you all... Have a fantastic time and have a brew for us... Sue

Dan...If Al doesn't have room I do!!

I have just recently emptied out the spare bedroom!!

Great idea,. It has always been a pleasure meeting other folks with a discus passion.

Due to soccer commitments I will likely not be able to attend. I am certain it will be fun.

Rosaano...I thought for sure you would come my friend!!

I am planning on being there. Anyone from Southern Ontario or Western NY want to share a ride?

[MostlyDiscus]

HI Al, I am intrested but dont know if the date works yet. I think I would fly though as it would be a long drive from Northern VA. Ed

[brewmaster15]

Sounds Great everyone...looks like we have a great group starting to form up here... I'll give it until next week to see how many are interested and plan on attending , do a head count and Finalize things....

Hi Al, I wont be able to make the BBQ I have a golf tourney that was resched for that date.. Bummer Ed

[dandestroy]

I'll probably be there... so far nothing I can recall for that date already.

[brewmaster15]

HI Ed,
You are welcome up anytime!

Hi everyone,
Well, looks like we have a pretty decent group... Looks like we will have a get together here in Northford,CT (06472 for mapquest estimates)

Should be alot of fun... I spent a few Hours yesterday "brewing up" some Picnic beverages for those that are interested I'm thinking Barb-Q and some discus discussions..

So...please everyone check the date and let me know either in this thread or by PM If you are definetly attending and how many of you there will be.. Family and kids are definetly welcome....I just need to know how many so I can plan on the food and drinks... and possibly a tent if needed.
Thanks,

Count me in. My family will more than likely attend as well. Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday!

I'll bring some of my pride and joy, Snakeskin x Wild Blues cross (parents from Al-where else?) and they should be a decent size by then, as they are 3 weeks old now.

Will this be a BYOB (bring your own beef/beverages) kind of thing, or will you be taking money/donations to help pay for it?
