2025 Mid-Atlantic MacGregor Mid-Winter "Gathering of the Faithful"

[Russ]

This seems like such a fun gathering.

I would so much love to attend, however, my life is too busy right now.

For those attending....post pictures and updates.

We have been growing every year.

We would love to be put on the "B" or "Wait" list!

In July our newest apprentice was hired and there has been an observed challenge in life that was not present in going from 0 to 1 able bodied seawomen.

Thank you Kevin for organizing this every year. I would suggest that even at one table, it was a challenge with the full table to chat with everyone, so two tables may not be so bad. Perhaps we're entering private room territory, if so I have a 26' space I could rent, very cheap, comes with life jackets for six.

Here are the deck swabbers after watching the 60 minute orientation video that Roger used to sell our boats:

Superb. Happy to have you join us.

Anyone who wants to be on the list should sign up using the link below. We have a new place that can take more of us, but the time would have to move to 4:00 PM… hopefully that’s OK with everyone?

OK, folks - because we have had such a strong response, and therefore now outgrown our old venue, we've moved this event to a NEW VENUE AND TIME.

Date: January 18 (no change)
Time: 4:00 PM (please arrive around 3:45 PM so we all can be seated at one time.)
Location: Phil's Tavern, 931 Butler Pike, Blue Bell, PA 19422 (link to map)

We needed to move to the earlier time because Phil's is a *very* popular place on a Saturday, so they don't take bookings after 4:00 pm.

Again, if you have not registered, PLEASE click this link and register so we have an accurate count and so we can contact you if there's inclement weather or any other issues.

Today, Kevin’s plans for our mid Atlantic gathering came to fruition.

In attendance were the following.
Kevin & Jan
Charlie & Libba
Jay
Richard & Laura
Toros, Amy, Elara & Aurora
Greg & Joselyn
Me & Natalie

Afterward, those who could, came back to our house. 6PM was way too early to call it an evening.

In the top photo, clockwise from bottom left: Natalie, Laura, Richard, Jan, Kevin, Charlie, Greg, Joselyn.



I need to clean my phone’s lens.

The event was enjoyed by all, thanks Kevin for your perseverance.

I should add; if Russ had not come to this forum’s rescue, this event would not have happened.

How very awesome to see. Wish I could be there. Maybe next year. Yesterday we celebrated the life of my mother-in-law who left this earth on December 28th.

This site and the Mac community have been such a blessing. I just wish it were not 8F degrees and my boat was floating.

Sending you condolences Russ. Sorry for your loss.

Although I win the prize for not following readily available and provided information, it was great seeing everyone at the gathering [I missed the dinner but showed up at the end

Kevin, Ray, and all thanks for your hard work and hospitality. Jos and I enjoyed our time talking with all at Ray & Natalie’s.

Our pleasure, and we’re glad you got home safely. It’s snowing here.
