I am looking at the four Saturdays in January to set up the first meeting for Virginia DTR Chapter #7. January 4th, 11th, 18th, and the 25th are the four Saturdays. I am trying to stay away from Sundays for church and family days but they will also work for me if that is a better day. <br><br>I am thinking somewhere like Pizza Hut in Smithfield for the first meeting. I am going to look around and see what is available as far as places to meet and talk. I would encourage you to do the same in your area. Once we have a good list of places to meet, we can alternate the locations of every meeting if that is what we choose to do. That way, no one has to travel the long distances all the time and each of us will get to see some different places maybe.<br><br>Look at your schedules for January and let me know which days will be the best and which ones do not work. I am building a list of the days that people can and can not make it. I will look at the list in about a week or so and pick the day that the most people can make it and set it up from there. We will go with the majority and the rest can make the next one. I am also open to suggestions for a better meeting place. It would be nice to get everyone but life may not permit that all the time.<br><br>If you have a friend that wants to join, bring them along. I will have the forms at the meeting. If you are not a member of Chapter #7 yet and want to join, send me your e-mail and I will send you the form to fill out and get back to me. This is a family thing so lets have a good time.<br><br>Thanks and look forward to the first meeting.<br><br>dieseldude4x4 (Joel)

 

You guys start meeting at seafood places, you might get some pilgrims attending. I remember a nice seafood bar A couple miles north of Norfolk General on Collie I believe. Another nice place over by Sandbridge, south of Virginai Beach. Have to check my long weekends for this winter.

 

Anyone up to meet at Pierce's BBQ this Saturday??? Bring the gals and we can grab a sandwich and head over to the pottery so the better halves can spend our BOMBing $$ while we drool over #2 and iron in the parking lot.<br><br>Just a thought ... I've got a fellow CTD friend coming here for the weekend - the girls wanna go shoppin'<br><br>Keith

 

I'm in, where is this at?<br><br>I need to get that tip to you anyway.<br><br>Joel

 

Kieth, is that the barbeque place along side 64 just before the Pottery exit??<br><br>chip

 

Chip ...<br><br>Yes ... that's the place ... sorry I've not been on all day ... up at 4 ... long day just in from work ... will post directions tommorrow//<br><br>Keith

 

Coolness, have we decided on a time yet?

 

How about we meet say ..... 1130?<br><br><br>If you are coming west on I64 then:<br>Take the Camp Perry Exit (238) to Rt 143 east ( a left at the bottom of the exit).<br>Take the first right at the stop light--this will be Rochambeur Rd. Pierces will be on the left about 3 miles down this road.<br><br>If you will be heading east on I64 then:<br>Take Exit 234 on I64 ( Lightfoot ).<br>This will put you on Rt 199 east, go about 1/2 mile to Rt 603 take the exit marked Mooretown Rd &amp; RochamBeur Rd.<br><br>Take the first right then the first left (will see a Lowes ). This will put you on RochamBeur Rd. Pierces is a few miles down on the right. <br><br>

 

Where is it at from the ferry?

 

Well, this really sucks! Won't be able to make this one either. Our squadron is up to our armpits in Toys for Tots and the C.O. has decided that we ALL will work this weekend down at the Salvation Army/Toys for Tots warehouse in Chesapeake. :'(

 

Can't make it this weekend folks. It's our grandaughter's birthday and I won't be getting home from work until 8:30 after a 16 hour night. <br> Ya'll take care and have a good time! ;D

 

Looks like January 25th is working out for the majority of us to meet in Smithfield at the Pizza Hut. If you can make it, come on out. Somewhere around 12:00 will work. If you need directions, let me know.
