A little far off...BUT ! YORK, PA. 2010 !!!

[unclesallie]

Let's plan a TRF Get Together for York, Pa. for JUNE, 2010.

The NAWCC National will be here, and the National Watch and Clock Museum is 40 minutes away.

Let's start planning right now. I expect Jocke, JJ, Bubba, Joe, all the folks who attended the Philly, Kentucky, and all other GTG's , and all the other people who regularly post on TRF to attend. Don't forget, Steve, you need to be here too! All the Mods, that includes YOU!

JUNE 2010. NAWCC Nationals. National Watch and Clock Museum.

Let's do it! :rofl::rofl::rofl::cheers::thumbsup:

[Idle Swede]

That's going to be a tough one as you're competing with the BIG 4th annual NY GTG that takes place May 16......:cheers:

[unclesallie]

next year?:thinking:

[Idle Swede]

next year?:thinking:


Well, it's June 20, 2009 today....:thumbsup::chuckle::rofl:

[unclesallie]

ahh well, timing is everything in life.....those who want to come will, and those who don't, well, NAWCC National is supposed to be an awesome watch and clock event......

[Rockrolex]

Do you have a specific date for this, Dan? York is a short drive from D.C. so it should be doable.

[Latrodectus]

:cheers::thumbsup: Not too far off!:read::agree:

[diversified]

I'm in Dan.

[Edward Arthur]

Just around the corner from York!!

[unclesallie]

Do you have a specific date for this, Dan? York is a short drive from D.C. so it should be doable.

would love for you guys to come up! I believe June 16-20 every year for the NAWCC National. I'll double check, but I believe those are correct dates.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[onkyo]

Count me in Dan! :thumbsup:

:cheers:

[unclesallie]

Pav: that's great!:thumbsup: Meantime, I think that since the Nat'l Watch and Clock Museum(the Museum) is the home of the NAWCC, that we can likely get discounted and coordinated benefits. Also, RGM, a small high-quality manufacturer of watches is in Mt. Joy, Pa., and we might be able to get a tour as they want to sell watches. I doubt we can get a tour of the Rolex School in Lititz, as I think they're off limits to the public. I will continue to push this event as the year goes by....:cheers:

[Latrodectus]

:clap: yes, and then we can start to countdown :smokin:

[unclesallie]

I've contacted the executive director of the NAWCC by email, and await his response to confirm location and dates. As soon as I have his reply, I will inform everyone.:thumbsup::cheers:

Ed, do we really have to dance?:rofl::rofl::chuckle::thumbsup:

I've also asked the NAWCC Exec. Director if we could take a group of say, 30 people, through the Museum(a tour guide would be fun, eh?). The clocks/watches/ and library are great!

[unclesallie]

:clap: yes, and then we can start to countdown :smokin:

Fred: not again ?!!:chuckle::chuckle::thumbsup:

[TimeToGo]

I will make every effort to make it! This is kind off a busy time of the year for my office, but hopefully a couple of days of my absence will not interfere.

Now I just have to do one more thing before our next meet . . . . . GET A ROLEX !!!!! lol

[diversified]

Hy Dan, If there is any thing I could help you with from Centre County just give a buzz. This event looks like this could be something special.

BTW, Anybody coming here with their wifes, girlfriends, etc. out of the area, If they don't want to spend the day with a bunch of "WISs", Lancaster outlets and all the Amish tourist stuff is just around the corner for them. Should be something for everone.

I thought I was expatriating to Thailand(no joke), but I decided against it for a number of reasons, and I was thinking I would have to get on here and cancel out my participation. But now, it's straight ahead! :cheers::chuckle::thumbsup:

Cool, glad to hear your still on :thumbsup: :cheers:

I'm counting down the days as well :thumbsup:

WOOT!
I hope she lets me. %^)

[Taffi Abernathy]

Despite the fact that someone was more than kind in offering me a ride (didn't know if that person wanted to be identified?), I'm not positive I will be attending. I will be sure to let you know in advance since I know you will need to make reservations. Thanks, guys.

Jim, I appreciate your offering me a ride to the GTG. (Since you PM'd me I didn't know if it was ok to put your name out there and I automatically am protective of privacy if uncertain.) If I am around the city then, I will go. I am looking to take a vacation in that general timeframe but we shall see. Plenty of time to make a decision. Regardless, I'll see you and hopefully Dan and others at the Philly GTG. :bye: :read:

i just open open a care package from my friends at world wide traders
Girard and Clara Sensoli. they sent my 18 free passes for the wwt

(it's your GTG) that needs a pass. please let me know. i have 18 to
donate

:cheers:

A nice number of days: 111 :thumbsup::smokin::joy::agree::dude:

[unclesallie]

Hi guys: I'm moving to Thailand around May 10, 2010, and will not be here for the York GTG. I'll be available to bring over your Thai sweeties though after that time......:)
This does not mean I can't help coordinate events with NAWCC and the Nat'l Watch and Clock Museum. Also, good news is that Blaine Mattison has 18 free tickets and that saves each person about $40.00 admission for 2 or 3 days of the show.
Well, nighty night. And sorry, but the time has come to move on down the line.
I will get you a list of hotels near the West York venue and contact the Nat'l Watch and Clock people.

Love ya,
Dan

[Latrodectus]

:rofl::bartmoon: Dan, good news for you! :joy:All the best for that big move in your life! :agree:
:read: You will read how much we enjoyed this GTG and you will be sorry that you can not be here for it! :twit::chuckle:
:dummy: Only 108 days....:banghead:

[unclesallie]

Yes. How ironic. Think of it: 35 yrs. in York. Member of this forum for what 3 or 4 years, and now the NAWCC National comes to York, and I'll be gone? What the f---....

Oh well, that's life. You guys should take up Blaine Mattison on his offer of free passes that saves about $40.00 admission price per person. I will check with the National Watch and Clock Museum Exec. Director to arrange a special tour of the place, and get back to you all.

All my best, and I'll miss you guys and the show, that's for sure!:cheers::thumbsup:
Dan

[Latrodectus]

:crying: Dan, you will not be able :crying:to forget us...and :agree:TRF is everywhere...I know it is in Thailand as well! :rofl: I am looking forward to this GTG...without you it will not be the same like in Kentucky for sure! Hope that a lot of the gang will make it to York and see how you lived for so many years...:dude::smokin:

[Mike B]

Dan, sorry that you will not be able to attend. However, congrats on the move ! I'm sure your life will be quite different in Thailand.
It was a pleasure to meet you, and I hope to someday meet up with you again :thumbsup:
This is one of the only fourms I belong to where I actually met members in person from (and drive many miles to meet lol).
Fred and I (and I'm sure others) will take lots of pictures :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Please do keep in touch Dan !
All the best on your move :thumbsup:
Mike

[onkyo]

Hi Dan. :bye:

I was looking forward to seeing you at the GTG but who knows maybe I will see you over in Thailand instead. As you know my significant other is from Thailand and she has always wanted to go back for a visit.

I wish you and yours all the best in your move and your new life. :thumbsup:

send me a PM with your address and i'll send one out to you

[Latrodectus]

OMG Dan, you're really going to do this! (You were talking about this move last year.) What an adventure! I hope you will still make it to the Philly GTG so you can hang out with us for a bit before you leave. Faith :bye:

[blaine mattison]

only 15 passes left for the world wide traders show wed. thrus. 6/16-17/10
this show is a full blow wristwatch traders, dealers, buyers, sellers show.
if you ain't never been to a wwt show, this is it. and what makes really special
it is the lead-in show for the nawcc NATIONALS. that is about a 900+ table show.

[Taffi Abernathy]

Hi Guys,

I am on my way out but wanted to take a moment to respond to a PM I received today. Given Dan's impending departure, someone requested I coordinate the York GTG. In all fairness, I think someone else might be better suited to do this as I'm not really familiar with the resources in this area and it's been quite a while since I visited. Nonetheless, I am happy to help in other ways, be it contacting people, helping arrange rides, etc. I hope this gets off the ground, and if you guys let me know what you need, I'll do my best to assist. Faith :cheers:

[Latrodectus]

:thumbsup:Thank you, Faith...that will be a great help. :joy:It is only 94 more days and :agree:Stan and I are looking forward to see you all.:smokin:

Whatever makes you happiest is great news from my viewpoint, Dan. I asked Blaine if he had any passes left, and I think I'm going to venture across state on Wednesday. I have cousins in York and I want to stop at the family seat in Chambersburg en route, but otherwise hopefully we'll run into each other at the event. :cheers:

[unclesallie]

OK guys, thanks for all the nice commments.

Questions:
1. Do you want a list of places to stay?
2. Blaine, anymore passes left?
3. I wrote again to Exec. Director of NAWCC to see if we can get a special tour of
the National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, about 30 minutes east(towards Lancaster, Pa. and on what day)
4. Where should we meet, and on what day, time?

Best,
Dan

p.s. I realize that we're a little behind on the curve, but I think we still have enough time to plan a GTG at the convention, have a lunch, and maybe walk around the convention for a little bit, and possibly on one of the day(s), do a tour of the National Watch and Clock Museum. This may prove to be too much, but I'm at least going to make inquiries.
Best,
Dan Pell

Well, maybe not 'happiest' but family comes first. That's what I've rediscovered, and money second.:chuckle::thumbsup:

I'm hoping Blaine will come back with some passes?

True dat !

Thursday would not be do-able for me, so I'm hoping Wednesday will be the day everybody selects to GTG

[blaine mattison]

so sorry i haven't been watching this thread. been doing a little BUSINESS!

yes, there are 14 passes left. 4 of them are spoken for. any other takers
please just send me your address and i PROMISE, I'LL GET ONE!!!!

cheers and enjoy!

[unclesallie]

Members:

I received a reply from Steve Humphrey, Executive Director of the NAWCC, re: tour of the National Watch and Clock Museum. Please give me feedback on your wishes. The Museum is 40 minutes' drive from York. It's in Columbia, Pa. first exit across the Susquehanna River.

Best,
Dan Pell
Since there is a warning at the end of the email from Mr.Humphrey that its contents are restricted to the recipient(me), I will not reproduce the whole note(I'm certain he'd have no objection in any case), but rather, repeat the substance which follows:


With all that is going on with the national and our staff’s involvement. Friday would be the best day with Saturday also being a possibility. Thursday night is the exhibit opening for the Bond watch exhibit and on Friday everyone could see Ian Fleming’s Rolex Explorer model 1016 watch. This is the first time the watch has been seen outside of Great Britain. The tour could include the museum, library and school if on Friday and the museum and library on Saturday.

[Mike B]

Dan, that sounds great !! I have to plan when/were we will be staying first when we go down to PA. I was planning on staying until probably Friday the latest. However, the Bond watch exhibit does sound VERY interesting.
Mike

[Latrodectus]

:cheers::joy: Dan, count Stan and me in for Friday...no problemo:agree:

89 days left for the wait :rofl:

Blaine, thank you much! We are looking forward to our GTG!

[Rockrolex]

Can someone give me the specifics on when the GTG is supposed to take place. It looks like the convention runs for a week. When is everyone planning to meet up; and where?

We could possibly come up on Saturday and Sunday if I know what's happening then.

Okie dokie. I posted some hotels/motels at York on Mike's thread. Do we have an agreement on the date we will meet, and where? And if so, does this include the NAWCC, as I will contact the exec. director. I notice they are holding a bunch of open houses during that week. The National Watch and Clock Museum is worth it, believe me!
Their exhibits and library are awesome! Only a 30 minute drive(max) from York to Columbia, Pa. Let me know your plans! I will post identically at Mike's thread.......
Best,
Dan

[ducatidoc]

Say, I may have an issue here. I received a guest pass from Blaine today (thank you, Blaine ! :thumbsup:), but it says that it is only good for Wed 16th and Thursday 17th. (The WWT&C show) Meanwhile, it appears that the bulk of our members are planning to go on Friday and Saturday, and thus I rearranged to allow a drive out to York on Friday. Is this the general consensus, ie Friday ? If so, I can offer the Wed/Thurs pass to someone who is going on those two days. Conversely I can also switch back to Wed. for the drive out.

[tudorman8276]

...we need to set the DATE time frame of the GTG, list the Motels available with contact info etc and what activities are available on what dates-ALL in one thread so EVERYONE knows what is going on. This way no one has to look at that thread, or that thread, or some other thread for info!

...this needs some FIRM dates and planning NOW...:thumbsup:

...Fred and I need to make our lodging accomodations etc!

...otherwise, I fear only a few will be involved in what should/can be a tremendous event.

...we NEED to get the EXCITEMENT generated for this again!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

...and, THANKS to Blaine for the tickets!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to meeting you!:cheers::thumbsup: Just to advise, that to get into the NAWCC National there's a daily fee to get in, or a comprehensive fee for the whole deal, and you might have to buy a membership, and it can become costly...not sure of the exact numbers, but I'll try and get them for you early next week. Let me know if there's anything I can do to facilitate a meeting time and place as i'm a 'local' ......kinda.

We were looking at the Hampton inn at York, but it's a little pricey Linkey:

http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=TIV5DREUXLM0ACSGBJC3MQQ?cty hocn=YRKPAHX&WT.mc_id=1HX2RE3Hotel4OneTagSol

But, out of the hotels mentioned by Dan here (I copied and pasted from the "OTHER" thread lol)
2. Motels:
1.Holiday Inn 2000 Loucks road Nearest...to Toyota Center/York Fairgrounds in West York, where NAWCC National is being held. It's 'ok', but nothing to write home about, but a very short drive(10 minutes). Tel 717-755-1966. Not my recommendation, but it is close and convenient.
Room cost is likely to be around $100.00 per night.

2. Country Inn & Suites..not that close, but about 20 minute ride, just off Route I-83
and would be my pick. 245 St. Charles Way, 717-747-5833. My guess is also around $100.00 per night.

3. The Yorktowne Hotel...downtown York, 717-848-1111. Not too far(about 15 minutes), re-modeled, and within walking distance of historic york spots(Lafayette House, Colonial Courthouse) and restaurants(some pretty good ones, too). Downside, is after dark it adjoins some tough neighborhoods. So you need to stay within a confined zone, not unlike many other center cities. Has nice dining facilities. Rooms, maybe $85.00 per night.

$100 a night is probably a good budget for me as of now (we'll be checking in later on Wed. night, and checking out on Saturday morning).
We haven't booked anything as of yet, still interested in what/where u guys would be more likely to stay.
We can always rent a Winnebago LOL

Excellent. It's only maybe 3.5-4 hours for me depending on T'pike traffic, so pretty much any time and any place is OK by me. If possible, I was going to stop in Chambersburg for a hot-dog, but that's very flexible.

Ok. There are two dates I would like to firm up:

1. Our Get together(the formal one).......which day? Time?
at a restaurant? If a restaurant, the best restaurant would be The Left Bank.
But Expensive, but as good as any high-end restaurant in Manhattan($30.00 per person plus drinks, estimated). If a more moderate price tag is desired, let's try Maewyn's, Irish Pub and Bar, or "White Rose Bar & Grill.

2. Tour of National Watch and Clock Museum: Which date(s) are preferred, and morning or afternoon? Or do you want to do this on your own? After I get feedback(hopefully very soon), I will call the exec. director to see what's available for a tour. This place is pretty amazing, and it is east of York, and about a 35 minute ride by car. If we did this, we could go to lunch in Marietta nearby, or at my friend's restaurant, El Serrano, which is pretty amazing in its own right(23,000 sq. feet with a courtyard and fountains, great food).

Let me know!
Thanks,
dan

[ducatidoc]

I can be there any time on Friday the 18th. Restaurant choice makes no diff' to me. Price irrelevant.

ok. well, you and I have just set the restaurant as The Left Bank.:rofl::rofl:
I need to know how many are coming and what day and time? Friday or Saturday??
(I think TRF members want to get on to the show EARLY each day...maybe lunch or dinner?)

next, anyone want to go to National Watch and Clock Museum, or should this be on an individual basis?

best,
Dan:thumbsup:

[ducatidoc]

The Left Banke ? Great one-hit wonder " Walk Away Rene " This free associating will come in handy some day. I just don't know how much longer I have to wait.

For me, it will have to be Friday, can't stay overnight.

Do we want afternoon or evening at the Left Bank Restaurant in York?

http://leftbankyork.com/

I'm thinking people will go on their own if they want to the Nat'l Watch and Clock Museum? There are, after all, many open houses available; the place IS amazing and I recommend it highly to anyone coming to the NAWCC National.

The Left Bank sounds great !
A night dinner would be great IMO.
We will be arriving (along with Fred and Stan as well) on Wed. night, and are staying until Saturday AM.

So far we have 6 for our GTG on June 18, 2010 @ 7:00 pm at the Left Bank.

If there are more people who want to come I need to know as soon as possible, because at present we can get a table in the window, but max for that is 6 people; more and we must move to an area that can accomodate more people at one table. In addition, they are likely to fill up soon because of all.the people coming into town that weekend.

I note with great satisfaction that the Masters Of Louisville are now reserved and Pac is a 'very likely.' A small but elite Band of Watchmen...
Best,
Dan

[ducatidoc]

Anybody still looking for a single free pass to the Wed/Thursday show ? I have one kindly provided by Blaine that I won't be using, since I can only be there on Friday with the TRF/Left Bank crowd.

[Mike B]

Stan + Fred, thank you again for the info !!
I will be booking my room tomorrow (Wed.), and will be staying the same time as you guys !! I HIGHLY recommend the Hampton Inn !!
We stayed at thier Ohio location, and they have EXCELLENT service, and a SUPER breakfast buffet !! I've been to MANY hotels around the world, and for the price, you cannot beat the Hampton Inn !

[unclesallie]

Ok. You guys are out on Mt. Zion Road(Hampton Inn), about 1/4 mile from the York County Prison, where they house about 1000 USICE detainees at any one time, and a place I visit on the average, of about 1x per week. Lovely accomodations, if you like that sort of thing.:rofl::rofl:

From Mt. Zion Road, you will go West on Rte 30 over to West York where the Fairgrounds are located and the Toyota Center and Show.....about 20 minutes ride(not very far, but traffic). Take 30 West to Rte 74 Exit(West Manchester Mall), about 7 or 8 miles West from Mt. Zion Rd. Make a left at light at exit ramp...follow 74 south about 1 mile or so, and you will see the Fairgrounds on your right...huge track, grandstand, buildings, not easy to miss. There will be a review class and quiz later on......:chuckle:

Best,
Dan

[ducatidoc]

Say Dan, since you're giving out directions, how 'bout a quick discourse on the route one would take off the Gettysburg Pike exit ?

Well, it's OFFICIAL !!
I've just booked our reservations for the Hampton !! We ended up getting a great deal ! (Two queen beds, plus a fridge, and a microwave). I checked the prices yesterday, and went back today to check them out again, and it went down by almost $150 !! (for the 3 nights plus the tax). Only thing was you had to pay in advance, so they took the money out ASAP (which is I thought is what hotels usually do anyway when you book a room online ??) , and you get no refunds if you cancel, but I have NO means of backing out this time, so God willing we WILL be there !!) So, I booked it !!
SOOOOO excited !! Can't wait to see everyone there !!

Stan, do they include UNLIMITED USE of SUGAR and PEPPER ? :rofl:

Are you going to the show or the Left Bank?

Show: follow Rte 30 East towards York and Lancaster and Philadelphia....
about 20-25 miles until you will see signs for 462East and Rte 30 East. Follow the bypass Rte 30 East, and go about 3 miles on Rte 30 East until the first exit which is Rte 74. Go right at the bottom of the Ramp...that is Carlisle Road, follow Rte74/Carlisle Road south into town about 1/2 mile and the Fairgrounds is on the right...you cannot miss it...it's huge.

Left Bank Restaurant same directions as above. Follow Carlisle Road, PAST the Fairgrounds(on your right) until you come to a Big T. Go LEFT at the T and that will take you into town on MARKET STREET. Follow Market Street about 2 miles until GEORGE STREET(center of YORK). Go LEFT on GEORGE STREET until Philadelphia Street, go 1 block past Philadelphia Street
on GEORGE STREET(heading north on George) and park. LEFT BANK is on your LEFT.

Capece?:rofl::rofl::chuckle::cheers:
If you get lost call me. PM for cell phone. I won't be able to help you, because by that time I'll likely be drunk, but it'll be an amusing call anyway.:thumbsup::bartmoon:

My vacation hasn't been approved yet but I had already put in for M-f of the following week, so all I have to do is add the previous Friday and I'll be all set. If we all stay at the same hote, I'd imagine that we could car pool to the various events from there. Anyone coming from the Cleveland area??????????

David A. Mycko...610-916-6949 ROLXRR@YAHOO.COM. call him.
see you at the show or Left Bank.

Dan, I don't know if the second half of that message was for me ( I beleive it is, since I think I did say I was pondering the idea of selling/trading my two Omega's, the SMP, and PO for one Rolex).
If that message was for me, please let me know, and I'll give David a call.
And, also, thank you for remembering !!
