Woo hoo! Super excited for my first York this year! I started putting my "list" together, which is pretty small, but I'll keep an eye out for some of the bigger items that are always on it.
Are there any OGR Forum meet ups still happening?
Next week (3 weeks before), I will announce a OGR Forum breakfast at the Round-the-Clock Diner. The Round-the-Clock Diner is just off the I-83 Route 30 exit.
The breakfast is before the York opening bell on Thursday, April 20th at 0715.......it usually lasts about two hours. Anywhere from 30-50 attend.......they (the Diner) save a whole area for us.
This is a common place to eat before York and a group of us for years would regularly meet there. About 10 years ago, I started to announce it, formally inviting Forum members (and any York attendee) so that faces and online names could be put together. It's a great place for York 1st timers to meet other like-minded train people.
On Thursday evening there is an OGR Forum get together at Quaker Steak and Lube (further west on Rye 30, closer to the Fairgrounds). All are welcome.
On Friday AM, many of the same people meet up at Round-the-Clock, though it's much more "on the fly".
A lot of people clear out Friday afternoon........however, a group of us who stay go to the Olive Garden at 7PM.....not a gourmet place, but they will accept reservations. At the Fairgrounds, the Eastern Division does provide ice cream Sundaes (I will admit that I have never stuck around for them, preferring dinner with the group)
Saturday AM is coffee and donuts provided by the Eastern Divsion prior to the 0800-0845 ED business meeting.
If you have questions, email me.
