Tip of the hat to the Eastern Division

I have to second that motion.  After attending over 50 York Meets, knowing the complexity and organization needed for such a meet of this size, always astounds me as to how smooth everything runs.  Keep up the great work E.D.we all appreciate your time and efforts.

I'll 3rd that.  Thanks to all the hard work and effort.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I'll 4th that. I had the best York that I have ever had. Just a great week, and this is about my 70th York. 

I thought it was just me but this was one of my favorite Yorks too!  Great weather was a bonus.  Attendance seemed higher and the crowds seemed enthusiastic to say the least.  Kudos to the Eastern Division and all involved.  BigRail

Yes---great job Eastern Division!  Thanks so much for another great week!

While the Eastern Division always does a wonderful job, this York did seem to be a better-than-usual fun time. 

I just hope they know how much we appreciate all they do.

York # 44 or 45 in the books for me. Thank you TCA Eastern Division for another outstanding job on putting on the largest toy train meet/show in the USA.

And thank you to Debbie Geiser for directing me onto the door prize list of 60 winners of about 14,000 registered for York. I was #48 on the list and was able to pick a nice door prize-Thank you!

Another fabulous York Meet from the volunteers of the TCA Eastern Division!!  Thank you for another great time!  I did notice how just about everyone I came across was jovial and upbeat.  It's a great four day party!!

Oh, and the model train selection was nice too.    

Thank you George for initiating this thread

The ED really deserves a pat on the back.

They sure do. My wife was a "Event Planner" for major corporations for many years, so I can appreciate all of the "behind the scenes" work. The smoother an event goes, the more it looks like everything is happening "by magic".

The Eastern Division rocks!

My partner and I brought 80 members and guests on two chartered buses from Long Island and from the feed back this was one of the best meets ever!! I had a chance to say hi to Debbie Geiser at the registration desk and as always she is a pleasure and her group did a super job! We will be back again in April!! Lenny J

Had another great time at York and rooms are booked for the spring. Also nice to see the brown hall looking better than in past years with new booth arraignments and floor covering. Made that hall look less "dingy".

The TCA meet in York put on by the Eastern division is an amazing feat.  I am always impressed by how smoothly and seamlessly the three days seem to go by.  Having a little more time this October than in past meets, I had a chance to sit and watch things take place and noticed:

There are seven buildings full of TOY TRAINS!

The two buses that make the rounds to the different buildings require very little wait time.

The number of security people on hand is staggering.

The first aid hut is staffed until after everyone leaves.

There are lots of variety of foods offered.

The front desk is well staffed with pleasant folks.

I like the preregistration for the April meet being done at this meet (I am already registered for April) and they will mail you your badges.

There is a group of people from the coming years convention that are excited about their city.

The doors open on time.

Someone takes the time to put arrows on the floor (there is a lot of full poked about this but with the narrow isles, it really helps).

Complain as I may about tipping the workers in the rest rooms, the facilities are so much cleaner than in years before their presence.

There were three nice operating layouts to see.

The ice cream social is well run.

I have always found the badge checker at each entrance to be pleasant.

Did I mention the seven buildings full of trains.

I personally am thankful that I only live seven hours away so I have a chance to attend often.

Thank you to all the volunteers that make this incredible event happen like clockwork twice a year every year for more than 40 years.

Happy railroading,

Don

Thanks to the Eastern Division for a great meet.

FAN-tastic job by Debbie Geiser and crew.

Thanks!!!!

Very well stated, Don!  And spot on!

I'm sorry but it really sucked! 

( having to come back home & go to work, that is )
