So my suggestion would be a Newburgh area GTG not out of the question for Albany, catskills and SENY members 

thoughts ?

A top 10 murder city!

About an hour and a half for me, so I may or may not be able to make it. What about that place In mahopac? 

Leave my alma mater out of this!

You’re getting even closer!  How about the Greenwood Lake area 😁

Im kidding. The greater Newburgh area would be great for me for certain.  And I agree we can all travel a reasonable distance and get more together that way. 

I am on Long Island and Newburgh is drivable- count me in!

I'm sure we are all well aware of the dangers associated with these get to together. I hope we're all little bit older and more mature so we don't have a replay of one of the original GTG from the old site.

@grampykeeps saying he's going to set up an ENY one, time to step up to the plate Oh wise-big-buck-serial-killer!

I was thinking Maple On The Lake in East Berne? It's nice there, lots of room, good food and drink, reasonable prices. But a bit off the beaten path. I used to live within a quarter mile. But now I'm off the hill, since I moved almost three years ago. About a half hour drive now for me. If there is enough interest, I could give Chris and Amanda a call. If not I will attend one anywhere in the Capital Region.

Well, your the only one that has a venue in mind.  I'm farther out from the downstate guys and more so for the CNY or WNY members.  

I'd be in for a Newburgh area, but that's pushing it.  That would probably knock out any CNY or WNY members also.

NY is too large for a central meeting place most can attend. Heck, NJ is tiny and we have to split up GTGs between north and south although our southern crew never sets any up. A few of them make the pilgrimage to north Jersey each December instead.

that's a solid hour drive for me. i'd make it if i don't have anything in my schedule too important that's a conflict. i've met very few people from this and old forum. hell if things fall through there's always saratoga fair. lol i botched that last year because i was too focused on my own plate of things to get done.

2 hr drive for me that i would try to make work but much harder schedule and logistics wise.

we've actually had a decent group ones with 30+ people. It's usually when 5 or 6 WNY guys trek to SENY and grab a hotel for the night.
