Steve,

Is it possible (as we have done in the past) to set up a canopy as a group meeting location? We had done this for the MML in the past but would like to possibly do a multi-group (FABO, MML, BOG, BBD, Moparts, etc.) meeting area. We really appreciated you and the CPW allowing us to do this in the past. I think it would be nice to put some names to faces (especially since several people cross over between the different sites/boards)? Would this be possible to do once again?

Thanks in advance,
Ben

PS I do not mind the date change ... just as long as the sprinklers are not on the night before. ;-) The good ol' days!

Sure, not a problem. We could set you up with a tent area.

But will it be associated with someones swap space or just for club meeting area?

Two years ago at Spring Fling 2006 we had a record rain season. It hadn't rained in over a week at the park BUT the grounds were so saturated that with less than 48 hours notice! we moved the whole event to an area they (the park dept) is not supposed to have car shows. We know that if we had it in the regular park it would be muddier than you have ever experianced in the past. The rows were straight, layout was nice, many people thought we planned the location change far in advance to celebrate our 20th anniversary. If they only knew :shock:

BTW that whole Sepulveda Basin park system with miles by miles of park is a Flood Control Basin. If you notice there's railroad crossing arms just north of the park on Woodley Ave. Those are not for the railroad, those are so the street can be closed when the street is designed to flood 3-4 feet deep!
