Closing weekend of MDRF
« on: 2013-09-16, 13:04:07 »
Is it possible we can coordinate a closing weekend Order/Forum assembly at the MDRF during the closing weekend of October 19th/20th?

I know it is the weekend right after DOK and I’ll have to work extra hours during that week to take off two weekends in a row but is it feasible? It would be awesome if we can get as many of the order together for a photo op that weekend!

Oh and Sir Ian I don’t know if you had the number to the Navy Lodge in Annapolis, MD if you wanted to use them if you and the family can make it up here. :)

Sounds great to me!

I just checked and the Air & Scare event that I like to go to will be on the 26th. Whew. Sometimes it clashes with the saturday of MDRF closing weekend.

I think I can do that; I've nothing on my calendar - just need to check w/the wife as her calendar may say otherwise.  The last Sunday is the DoW right?  Would we be talking about both days, or just one of them?

I have duty on that Sunday, meaning I have to be at work at 0645 Sunday morning, so most likely not going to work for me.  I'm taking a week of leave to make DoK and missing a duty day already for that (Saturday the 12th)

Well I personnally would prefer Sunday (DOW) but I can make Saturday as well if nobody else can make Sunday.  ;)

You don't have to explain those duty-day blues to me! ;)
Perhaps next year you and the family will be able to come visit MDRF. :)

I've been planning on going Sun, and doing so in full harness. I may be able to get Chris to come, and possibly put him in at least *some* armor too. If not, at least garb.

DoK/KOD = Days of Knights / Knight of Days?  ;)

DoK is a living history event focusing on medieval knights, knightly orders, etc. and will be held in Kentucky in mid-October.

well, sad news i am going on the 6th, but depending on how many knights are going on the 20th, I may be able to convince my father to take me then.
