NJ GTG end of December early Jan?

Hey guys, since this spun off on a thread not originally intended for a NJ GTG, I started a dedicated one.

I was thinking it'd be fun to have a little WIS GTG in NJ for members in the area (but it need not only be limited to just Rolex).

So far here are the people who have expressed interest:

Anyone else want to join in?

I figure that once we get at least two more people then I'll start finalizing details and contacting people via PM.

Also, I'd like wish everyone a very Happy Holidays ahead!

Cheers,
Tim

Merry X-Mas all (14 minutes left) ;o)

I was thinking of Northern Bergen County since it's near GWB and accessible to NY folks too. What say you guys?

Guys, sorry, have been a bit busy. For those interested so far, are Friday nights better or Saturday?

These are the slots left for this month: 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th

Venues I have in mind are in NE Bergen County, however, since we do have a few folks from NY, Manhattan can be an option as well. Finalized location will only be disclosed via PM.

Sorry, I don't see an option to add a poll so please reply with a date/location so we can hopefully narrow this down (e.g. 15th / NJ or 23rd / NY, etc.).

Thx!,
Tim

Hi Tim, since i"m in Jersy I would prefer a NJ location but it won't stop me from going to Manhattan, just more convenient. As for date, any will do

Just as an aside, there will be a sizeable GTG in February in New Brunswick. You can check it out at Paneristi.com

Faith if it is in North Bergen you are looking at approximately 90 miles +/-...... Its not a bad drive, I have done the drive from North Bergen to Philly a few times for work and it was long but not that bad since its not my everyday commute

Hi Frankie,

I'm sure you guys will have a blast but frankly, it a bit farther than I want to drive. Faith

Faith, it's a shame you won't be able to join us but I'm sure the one in Philly will be a blast too!

Ok guys, so the 15th, 16th have past. Let's just shoot for the 23rd. I'll PM interested folks with the location.

Thx!,
Tim

It's a long haul, I don't blame you. I will make it to the Philly one too since I am located in the middle between Philly & Bergen..

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, I'm just double-checking the venue that I have in mind can accomodate us and will be available.

Hope you guys don't mind Italian?

I'll send PM's out by tonight.

Cheers,
Tim

OK guys, sorry about this but let's shoot for the 30th instead so I can pick new locations. The original place I had in mind has gotten really bad reviews for 2009 so far (last time I went there was back in 2005 or so and it was quite good then).

I'll be looking at venues in NE Bergen County that is reasonably close by the bridge to accomodate NY folks as well.

I'll shoot PMs by tomorrow with the new locations and we can then take a vote offline. If you have suggestions, please send them to me via PM only. Again, this is for the safety of those attending.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi guys, PM has been sent with location and time. Please reply to me with your email addy, so I can create a consolidated mailing list as I can only PM one person at a time.

Looking forward to seeing you guys there and for any who still want to join in, please just PM me.

Cheers,
Tim

All,

Looks like this isn't happening today since the notice was sent out a bit late (my fault ) and most of you already had commitments.

Let's bump this out to next Saturday and hopefully we can get a nice crowd together.

Cheers,
Tim
