I know we’re now less than a week away from the Jacksonville Road Meet now, but unfortunately the weather forecast looks less than favorable now. Gonna postpone this meet until later this year instead of canceling it outright.

According to the National Weather Service, Jacksonville's forecast for Saturday is partly sunny with a high near 81. What's "less than favorable" about that?

From what I was going off of, Facebook Events said that there was a possibility of rain showers in the forecast for Saturday.


I just checked the National Weather Service page: 40 percent chance of rain after 1pm, or 60 percent chance of NO rain ;)

That’s not what the Weather Channel said this evening nor did any of the local television news channels/stations.

While true, I don’t usually remember to check the NWS website, unlike some of y’all.
"With great power/privilege comes great responsibility." - Stan Lee 1922-2018, Creator of Spiderman

The use of third-person for the below is intentional.

When one is planning/hosting an event that is subject to weather conditions; it is that individual's responsibility to check/verify possible forecasts/conditions through reputable sources (note the plural) prior to making the decision whether to postpone/cancel said-event/gathering.  Even if doing such means deviating from one's normal habits/routines.

Note: the above can be applied towards any type of group gathering not just road meets.

Something to ponder in the future.

Last I heard, yes, sometime after the new Champlain Bridge opens.

Newberryport, MA has also been talked about a couple times, and is mentioned earlier in this thread.  Is that still a potential for this year?

Yes, I am still considering a Newburyport (or really, Newbury is more like it), MA meet, which would be likely in early November.
I'd do it, I'm only 14 but IDK Peabody has some very interesting signals I'd love to see, like the new right turn FYA in downtown.

Keep me in the loop of when this will be please: jef12791@yahoo.com

I have a dedicated thread set up on the AARoads Forum for the Newburyport meet, so that will be the best place to find out about any updates.

I have a couple questions...
 
Jason - are you still considering hosting something in Albuquerque this summer?
Scott - are you still considering hosting a meet in LaCrosse?

Are there other meets that have been talked about but not been added to this list yet?

Just so you all know, I am having second thoughts on Albuquerque, its a done deal, my wife, mother in law and I are going but it will be for one of my biggest toy conventions of the year and logistic wise it may not work for me  to host a meet there when my primary focus will be selling diecast cars to several hundred people and it would not be fair to Steph and her mom who will be doing the tourist thing while I am selling. Also I now have a Memphis meet planned for later this spring (4/13 is looking like the potential date for this) and another central PA based meet for April or May 2020.
So...this is awkward. I haven't been here often, I know, and I should have said something earlier. But my first vacation request of this year, which had to be done by last Thanksgiving, was made on the expectation of an Albuquerque meet on July 20.

If it's not going to happen, well, that doesn't prevent me from driving there anyway I suppose. But I would like some further details, if there are any since that January post.

Meet’s been postponed until further notice, pending meet host being able to host or not.

Kevin- if you are referring to Albuquerque yes I have decided not to host it and here is why, I will be too busy selling diecast toys at a hotel since this is during a BIG diecast toy convention and Steph and her mother will be sight seeing around Albuquerque, sorry guys but the logistics just won't work for me to do this.

In all fairness...  The forum guidelines only discourage bumping topics that are more than 120 days old.  Furthermore, the last input I actually see in this thread about the Albuquerque meet is that jpi was "having second thoughts" and that it "may not work."  AFAIK, it was never explicitly stated there would be no Albuquerque meet.  So =kevinb1994 was indeed adding content to the discussion.  (Maybe I missed something, though.)
