BRF Mid-Atlantic Meet 2010 (NJ-PA-NY-DE and beyond)

Post by Rudradev »

What say gentlemen, is it time to start thinking about this once again? 2010 will be our third year in a row.

I would like to make it one of the weekends in September if possible. Not the Labor Day Weekend (Sept 4-6), when I am busy and many others probably will be too. September 11-12, 18-19, 25-26 and October 2-3 are all currently possibilities for me. I will be unavailable on weekends from Oct 9 to Nov 6, and then I will be traveling to India in December.

Sept 12 could be a nice one (Youm-e-Ghulami Mubarak Din for the Pakis!)

Any who are interested, please contact me at rudradev DAWT brf ATT gmail DAWT com
And please ALSO POST HERE that you sent me an email!

I can do either sept 11-12, or sept 18 in NJ or PHL. Prefer NJ.
Pl note sept 16-17 seems to be a weekday ?. Will send an email, once the details are finalized.

A Thousand Apologies!

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my dates of availability have changed.

I can no longer meet on the following weekends: September 4-6, Sepetember 18-19, September 25-26, October 2-3, October 9-10, and October 16-17.

I am free on Sepember 11-12, and any weekend after October 18th through November and beyond.

As for a side meet in PHL, I am on for that, IF it is on a weeknight (September 16-17 as Rupak and Jagan have been suggesting.)

However, I would also like to have a main meet on a weekend, so that people from further away can come and we can spend more time without worrying about driving back, etc.

Would October 23rd or 24th work for everyone?

I arrived at Stony Brook, NY, a week ago, as a student. This place is new to me and travelling around is difficult. So, I wont be able to make it to this meet, but maybe for the next one.
Have fun.

Ok gentlemen, here is an update:

I personally am not free on any weekend throughout September, or the first two weekends in October.

Here are the suggested options for the Jirga dates. Any who are interested in attending, please specify a preference.

1) Sunday October 17th (Saturday 16th is not possible.)

2) Weekend of October 23rd/24th

3) Weekend of October 30th/31st

4) Weekend of November 6th/7th

5) Weekend of November 13th/14th

6) No preference... I am equally likely to be available on all the above dates.


Please post your available options among 1,2,3,4,5 or 6(no preference) here. List more than one option if it is available for you. Thanks.

I'll attend if it is in the NJ/NY area. November 13th/14th sounds good to me. A silly question: This would be my first BR meeting so I'm not familiar with the conventions; so do BR members bring spouses, GF/BFs to these meetings? :)
