    SB11 July 2020

    It may be a bit early to ask but I'm just looking to see who else is planning on attending. ?

    Dates are July 9 - 12

      All the details are here:
      It was great to re-connect face to face with my bag brothers and sisters. So much so that I've already booked my stay at the Best Western for 2020. I had some informal chats with a few people about next year's events and schedule, so I'm throwing this out for group discussion. Thoughts? Feedback? Ideas? Dates: Thur 7/9/2020

        Beginning to wonder if this years event is in 'covid' jeopardy. My room is still booked but I'll wait until further notice before canceling.

          It is in serious jeopardy. Real Gymm is in the covid hot zone and currently closed. Personally, I doubt gyms will be allowed to open before July. And even if they do, how many of us will be willing to travel there?

            Yeah I've followed the news for hotspots.. and even if those of you who are somewhat local attend should things calm down who knows about us international travellers. Hmm

              I REALLY want to attend my first gathering this year but i am worried that if i do attend, quite honestly, my wife might remove some really important parts of mine that i am kid of attached to. Have there been talks of pushing it back. Sad thing is they are now saying there maybe a spike with COVID in the fall. At some point we have to wash our hands and get back to living.

                  Hotels, trains, planes....All are worrisome at this point and I'd hate to see my share of the Hospital bill for 1 week in ICU on a respirator.

                    I have not committed to going yet. I have to wait a little longer because of work, I am in oil and gas and we are starting to pick up again. I hope i can get free.

                        Guys, please understand that Donnie very generously hosts the gathering every year, at least up until this year. He always takes on some risk letting a bunch of assholes take over his gym for 2 or 3 days in July. He is a good man with a generous heart, but lets not pressure him into doing something that puts his livelihood at risk.

                          I don't see anybody pressuring anybody to do anything. I haven't heard anything official but the writing is on the wall - no event.

                            Here's the beauty of this event- we have a location and date, we have the equipment, we have a willing and generous host - it really comes down to - will Real Gymm be open to the public at that time? Some people are not going to be able to travel this year due to a variety of reasons. There may be an event, but it's PROBABLY going to be smaller than usual. And whether it happens or not - 2021 will be right around the corner.

                            I still have my hotel reservation as of this moment.

                              Here's the latest from Donnie. Gyms in New Jersey are still CLOSED. It is expected that gyms will be allowed to re-open sometime after July 4th.
