Default OGCA show back in Cleveland OH.

I know this isn't until the fall but the OGCA wants to
get the word out. They are having a show at the IX center
in Cleveland on October 15 & 16. They have said that this
is going to be an exparamental show, witch means there
basing it on addentence. This is a show for northern OH and
the north east as well, 4 1/2 hour drive for me.

What do you guys think?

PS. There still having the other shows in wilmington....

I dropped my membership when they moved the shows to Wilmington. If they're going to continue to have shows in NE Ohio, I'll join again.

Same here.
The IX had to be one of the largest places to host the show

If they move it back I would consider re-joining.

i live about 2.5 hours away from wilmington and about 1.5 hours away from the IX center, so it would save me 1 hour of drive time which would be nice.....i will attend either location.....

I live near the other end of the state and wouldn't care to drive up there. I like the Wilmington location, why can't they find someplace about the same distance north of columbus to make it easier for northern members? Split the shows up, half north and half south. It wouldn't be too far for those of us who live in southern Ohio but would be closer for those up north.

I found sooooo much fantastic stuff when the show was at the IX center. I have only been to two Wilmington shows. Too small for such a large organization.

I was hoping they would come North again. Wow the OGCA on the 15th and the NE Ohio bunch looking like Oct 1st. Good month, Larry.

I dropped my membership when it left Vets Memorial in Columbus! Unfortunately, with Coleman as mayor, you could not have a show in Columbus.

never did make any one person, or group 'happy' with the locations, was best when they were scattered ,like in the "old days"?? one north (Canton) ,one south Dayton, and then 4 in the "middle" (Columbus) and even then folks could and would "complain"...heck, I have NOT missed a meeting since the mid 70's, and would go where they had it, where they were "welcome" and had a GOOD, safe home....got tossed out of MOST of the larger cities around Ohio over the years, as the "locals" banned shows here or there...oh welll glad to see and hope it works for "up north" closer to us for sure, BUT if one really wants to go ,see, and continue, you do what YOU gotta do...I ain't cutting off my nose to spite my face..................

Twice the distance for me can I assume they will split the shows between the two locations?

Glad to see that they are trying out the IX Center again. I don't see why they cannot have shows at two different venues throughout the year. Unless there's a major schedule conflict with a couple personal events/commitments, I'll be at the IX show in the fall.

I joined not long after it moved to the IX Center, and enjoyed the shows there. Took most of a day to do a lap. And the IX is a 3.25 hr one-way drive. Doable in one (long) day.

Although I've kept my membership I have never made the 6 hr one-way drive to Wilmington.

Same here. A couple years ago I contacted OGCA about simply renewing my old number but it was a No-Go. There have been other shows at Vets the last few years so I don't see why OGCA can't give it a try again.

You must be a member, or a guest of a member. To become a member, you must be a guest and complete an application on site at a meeting. Then you wait for your name, city, and occupation to be published to the membership with the newsletter, and if no objections you receive your membership card and badge.
