Jacksonville or gainesville meet?

Technically NFL should be having a group meet AT LEAST once a month. This leaves Sept. 10th a perfect time for a 2nd meet. I say we stick to the current August 20th plan and go for a mid afternoon meet. This will allow everyone enough time to wake up, wash their cars, show up and then get a bite to eat for an early dinner and possibly even a group drive from the initial meeting location to a near by restaurant. Saturday restaurant crowds can get kind of large so eating around 5-ish might not be a bad idea.
So the time is 3:30pm on Saturday, August 20th. Jamacia, why don't you pick a central location for the meet and start a new thread.

Just my $0.02. And NFL is supposed to have monthly meets? Ha. We haven't had "a" meet in about a year.

Problem is CFL and SFL are centered around bigger cities (South Florida in general and Orlando/Tampa) with a good "G" population.
NFL is roughly 100,000,000 square miles of trees with cities spread far about and few "G" hot spots. Pensacola....go east two hours....Tallahassee....go east two hours....Jacksonville/Daytona/St. Augustine area....go southwest two hours Gainesville/Ocala....and thats it. It's tough to set up monthly meets for NFL as a whole. People could go to a Jacksonville meet or Gainesville meet...but a monthly NFL meet is, logistically, an uphill battle. (Example...it's easier for me to go to Orlando (1 hour) to a CFL meet than it would be to go to Jacksonville (1.75 hours) meet). I think you will have a hard time getting anyone from Tallahassee and west therefrom to go to any meet in Gainesville/Jacksonville and vice versa. I am not complaining as its part of the logistics of NFL, but monthly meets just won't happen outside a few clicks here and there.....just my $.02.....

i have stopped trying to set up dates for Jax meets, as it is very difficult to get a date that a majority of the owners can attend.....and without a good date, the attendance will just be dismal. Additionally, for various reasons, it seems like we are running out of decent locations that have sufficient parking in a central Jax area. I am open to specific suggestions about the next jax meet, if anyone has some.
We will try to make it down for a Gainesville meet, but without a date determined, i can't say for sure.
