    NCRS Florida Regional Meet 2015

    All who attended the NCRS Florida Regional would like to extend their thanks to the members of the Florida Chapter for working so hard for our enjoyment. Specially Ed and Tyler for working day and night to pull off this meet at a new venue. And the venue was all it was expected to be and more.

    Just where can the editor of our "Restorer" magazine take a flight in a Steerman Biplane!!! Wow!!! Can't wait to see the pics in the next "Restorer".

    Those of you who could not attend, please put this show on your "Bucket List" for 2016!!!!!!
    And to those folks from Germany, England, France, PR, and the Swiss we all had a great time meeting you and exchanging tidbits of information.

    Can't wait for 2016!!!!!!! Thanks again Florida Chiapter Members!!!!

    JR

    PS. And the golf was great!!!!!

    I can echo the same comments that JR has posted in his message.
    I do want to add Joel, Laureen and all the other volunteers in saying "great job".
    And I do look forward to coming back next year and beyond.

      Yes, all the chapter volunteers did a tremendous job putting this together in such a short period of time. Ed, Tyler, Joel, Laureen and Bill are superstars in my book. Our next newsletter will be filled with many nuggets for everyone to enjoy. I also want to thank all the NCRS members, supporters and vendors, without them we wouldn't exist.

      Here is a nice newspaper article on the event: http://www.theledger.com/article/201...ct-Enthusiasts

        I was pretty sure that I didn't want the Regional to move from "Old Town", (Old folks hate CHANGE). I reluctantly went on Friday, & was pleasantly
        surprised with the easy entry, close parking, & nice layout. The "Judged Cars" being placed in a Large Hanger was a stroke of genus! Good Car Corral! The Swap Meet was also very good, about the same size & many of the same vendors, with a few new ones. Congratulations to the Florida Chapter for your FORESIGHT & all the hard work to pull it off! I will be back next year! GREAT VENUE! Barry Holmes

          the onsite campground was well equipped and one could easily walk from it to the judging hanger. the only downside was the influx of northeast chapter members who consumed way too much of KC's brew. as always, the fla meet is one you can't miss. mike

            Guys, this was a phenomenal event. All participants needs to thank, at minimum, Ed, Tyler, Joel, Laureen Bill. They MADE this event happen. Without them, we would be sitting home reminiscing about how "nice the Florida Regional used to be when it took place". This was the first year of the vent in it's new home, and I can assure you next year it will be even better. More bugs will be worked out, familiarity curve flattened with the new site, etc. So much work goes into a regional, the above mentioned guys and gals need special thanks. We have room to grow there too. Once word spreads about how well it was attended and how well it went, I think we can safely expect all numbers going up by 50% next year. The hangar was FULL of cars. Wonderful site. I really enjoyed myself, and was nice to see so many good friends (lots from out of state - Illinois, Texas, NY, NJ, MA, etc)....Great job guys....ARA

                  I agree with all comments that it was a good regional; did anyone notice that you can't walk from the motel to the meet?
                  I was 6 miles away and that was close. I miss Kissimmee, but I'll get over it.

                    Hi Barry, If you say it is good, that's all I need. I talked to many friends over the weekend and all said the same. GREAT VENUE...... and lots of hard work by Tylar and the gang. RICH MOZZATA posted a great video on the forum, and I felt like I was there for the entire weekend. Congrats to all. Hope all is well Barry. Been a while since we have talked.

                      Great venue that will surely increase in participation. Lakeland proven to be even better than Old Town as it was a short drive to either Disney and Tampa. Old Town was too conjested and having cars inside is always a plus. Congrts to the Florida Chapter for hosting anoyher fine meet... The venue surely agreed with all us Louisiana members as i heard no complaints and a good time was had by all!

                      Thanks again for all your hard work making this new venue a success...
                      Regards,

                        Once again the NCRSFL chapter provided a superb event, even with less than ideal weather. The Lakeland airport is a great venue - Every swap meet space is larger, more of them, no tripping all over each other, back to indoors for judging like at the Hyatt but with better lighting, a large covered pavilion for a food vendor, RV spaces with hook-ups within walking distance, "Corvette only parking" right in the middle of all the activities, a trailer mounted 6-seater mobile restroom with sinks and running water, a dedicated event parking lot for the public (no more Old Town pain in the ass parking hassle), ... what's not to like.

                        Here are a few dozen snapshots of the general event, the 56 Sebring racer, and the 1964 CERV II.

                          Apparently with no help from the MidAtlantic Chapter members.

                          Tyler and crew, congratulations on the fine job that you did in Lakeland.
