As a planning committee member, I am trying to determine what programs, events, features, etc. are likely to entice you to attend. The Gathering is scheduled to be located in Clearwater, Florida in February 2016. Therefore, please respond only if this is a distance that you are likely to travel assuming the Gathering included the types of programs, events, and features you selected among the polling choices. Please feel free to add any other features to your post. Please limit your selections to your top 3 choices. The poll results will be available to all in 30 days.

Thank you for reading and participating in the survey

I guess being that this is the FIRST pen gathering for us 'southerners', some are not interested, but it's okay with me. Small and quaint can be just as fulfilling as a huge turnout.

Maybe as the date nears, others will decide not to pass this one by.

I can tell you that I drove 900 miles to Tennessee this past Friday to attend a penturners meeting in a garage/workshop and it was so fulfilling that I would do it again! I met great people (about 15) and left with so much more knowledge that I showed up with! It was worth EVERY mile I drove.

So far, I have 19 attending and maybe up to 24 as of today. (Facebook event page)
 
Well Its a ways off and you have notified people so they can keep it in Mind. It will be winter time and prices for hotels will be higher. You might list the local attractions that the spouses can visit or both could do if they stay more than the days of the gathering. Like Bush Gardens in Tampa, THe Aquarium, the Beaches. etc. Disney and all the attractions of Orlando are only a couple hours away.
THere are probably a lot of people that wont be able to commit until the last moment.
Have you reached out to our vendors to let them know your schedule so they can make plans?
 
February tentative dates

So I can pencil this in do we have tentative dates yet in February? And also the venue name yet?
 
Thanks for voting. The poll will be open until 9/13.

"FLAG" is also an excellent name.
 
Where can I find more information on this gathering? I live in Tampa and would not want to miss this.
 
Thank you for the inquiry. Dates have been tentatively set in mid to late February. We are assembling audience preferences and tastes now. After the new year, we intend to publish an itinerary and other details.

Thanks again!
 
Hey Tony,

I live in St Pete and will come depending on dates and times.

I am happy to do a demonstration if need. I do a "Pen Turning: Beyond the Basics" demo of 90 minutes that includes some basic inlay techniques and a closed end pen. I have done this demo for the AAW at the Tampa symposium in 2013, for the Florida Woodturning Symposium in 2014 and many local clubs. I can send you details if you are interested.
 
As an FYI - there is a AAW Florida Chapter Symposium February 5-7, so you may want to mark those dates as not good!
For those interested, floridawoodturningsymposium.com. will get you to the information.
