————————————————————


I’m glad to announce our next Seattle Meetup at Marymoor.  I had a lot of requests for the Fall meeting for this year:

-       Should be earlier than the previous years (due to the cold) 
-       Shouldn’t collide with a Seahawks game
-       Shouldn’t collide with the final Sounders home game
-       Shouldn’t collide with the september Triple-X Root Beer VW show 
-       Shouldn’t be during Thanksgiving weekend (too much turkey to process)
-       It could be close to Halloween (to reuse costumes I guess?)  :-)

Hopefully this new date will satisfy some (if not) of those requests

WHY/WHAT?
Brave the elements and come out to Marymoor Park for a Westy Show and Tell Meetup. This is the day after Halloween, so feel free to bring your costumes :-) . The idea for this one is to tell the group a little about your van and perhaps some of the best mods or projects that you have made. Consider bringing some comfort food (chiili, soup, etc) to help you stay warm while we meet. We’ve moved the meeting a month earlier, so everybody could have a chance to talk about Westy projects and adventures without getting frozen.

WHEN
Saturday Nov 1 2014
11:00 AM 

LOCATION
Marymoor Park 
6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy. N.E. 
Redmond, WA 98052 

HOW TO FIND US
"Look for the Westies" 

I've talked to the Marymoor Park people and we've been directed to use again Parking Lot I (right off Marymoor Way by the Velodrome), see the park map at the following link http://your.kingcounty.gov/dnrp/library/parks-and-recreation/documents/marymoor/marymoor_park_map_web_09.pdf <http://your.kingcounty.gov/dnrp/library/parks-and-recreation/documents/marymoor/marymoor_park_map_web_09.pdf>

This is the same parking lot as last year. Parking lot I is by a big/flat paved Recreation/Event Area and also close to the velodrome, so bring also bikes/rollers/skates/etc to have some fun! Also, in case you don't know, parking costs $1 in the park. 

BACKGROUND
This is the fourth time we’re having this event. In 2011 we had 50 vans, in 2012 we had 61 vans and in 2013 we had 30 vans showing up (2013 was extremely cold while at the same time the Seahawks were playing the 49ers, so it wasn’t a bad turnout). In all those years everybody had a truly great time.
