The official date is now May 5th, 2012. Close enough! :wiggles:

It all started on May 6, 2006: :wiggles: http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/tri-state/135304-victory-brewing-meet-may-6-2006-first-meet.html

If I count correctly, this will be the 24th meet in its 6 year history! :wiggles:

Info for the uninitiated:

Victory Brewing Company is in Downingtown, PA about 30-50 minutes west of Philly

The way this all works:

11:00 am meet at Marsh Creek State Park.

Where is Marsh Creek? Map 1 Map 2

Drive down Park Road until you see Subies in the parking lot.

** WARNING ** There is a frequently used speedtrap on Park Road just before you get to the park. The trap is at the bottom of a hill on with an entrance to townhomes on the left just before you drive into the park. Check out Map 2 for the exact location. The speed limit is 25 mph - don't go over 30! At the winter 2012 meet I also noticed two pairs of newly added VASCAR speedtrap lines painted east of the of the townhome entrance. You have been warned.

If the lower lot is full there are two lots up the hill. We have had to use the upper lots a few times.

** The second (middle) parking lot is the official spill over if needed. **

Weather forecast for the meet area: 7-Day Forecast for Latitude 40.09°N and Longitude 75.77°W


No later than 12:30 leave for a fun run through beautiful scenic northern Chester County.

2:00 arrive at the recently renovated Victory Brewing for lunch.

A most pleasant drive, very good food, great fresh brewed beer and Subie camaraderie. C'mon out.

Do men actually like attending weddings? Really? It's such a girlie centric day ...

I never liked them. Especially mine.
I'm not a fan. I don't dance, so receptions are kinda meh. I also have a bit of social anxiety, so if I don't know too many people there, I get uncomfortable quick.

An open bar with truly great beer would not help me to like them. Weddings suck.
While it wouldn't make me enjoy the reception, I would enjoy it more than a bar with nothing but Bud, Miller, or Coors...

Exactly. That is me as well. The Victory Meets are about as social as I get.

I suppose ... if I had to go.

I have no problem with Subaru meets, for the simple fact that there is a common interest that pretty much everyone who attends shares. It's the gatherings that I don't have that common ground where the anxiety creeps in...

We did look at victory briefly, iirc the price for what you got wasn't a ratio we were comfortable with, only being able to rent out he one room.

so much for actually having the time available...there is no chance of the STi being legal on the road, and my LGT is struggling to drive straight. so, it is unlikely that I will be making this meet. so much for the big anniversary meet, but I will be back for more another time.

And I'll still be at a wedding. I hate you all.
I don't think I can make it, first day of spring turkey for me :sadwave:
My stance remains on if there is Overtime or not friday night... Workign till 5:30 AM then going to the meet would be... rough.. 5 hour energy(s) mayhaps?
okay, so I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to be able to make it now. I may have to pick up my parents from the airport, I should know soon enough if I'll be attending.
i'm going to try and make it, but can't say for sure.

As of now, i work from 8pm friday night to 4am saturday. And i think my girl has some work thing i'm supposed to go to, but they won't have any subies, so forget that.
Please scratch me off the list. :( I don't want to talk about it. :unhappy:

I did post it to my site though, which may yield some more attendees...

I'll be there. Perfect storm: the girl is out of town for a bridal shower, and I have a Derby party later that day that is in Devon, which is on the way home for me from Victory.

The week of the meet always sees some backing out. :sadwave:

My transmission should be going back into the car this week! It will be good to get the car back running for this meet!
Details please? Long time no hear from. :(

I will be there +1 or 2 in my car. Trying to bring my buddy with the ELH (he'd be upset if he knew I was referring to him that way ha) and another buddy who just picked up a '12 after giving up his modded audi may attend as well... Ill try to find out more from them.

All in all, I will be there, and yes, probably with chocolate...
