Gang, just some random thoughts here. When I hosted the gathering, the thoughts presented to me concerning the time frame of the gathering was centered around vacations. The people I talked to enjoyed having the gathering after the summer vacation months so as to not conflict with family vacations. By August or so, kids were in school, vacations were over and most could commit to a weekend for the gathering. In regards to weather in that ol valley of KY, yes we did have weather come in at the end of the gathering. However, the prior year we had beautiful weather and had 17 KRs. This was the largest number of KRs in recent memory http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/barkley99/ . I did listen to input as to the time. In my case, the above preference was prevailing. If you want to change it, host it. Just keep it in an area where people can fly to it from the east, west, north and south.
Just what I observed while hosting it. Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY i39 RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit 13B Rotary.
