If another SUNI is contemplated, it wouldn't be for 2019. Six+ months isn't nearly enough time to get the sites locked in and all the other planning that goes into one of these.
I remeber the 1st SUNI that I might have attended. IIRC, it was in Montana. A couple of years ago, I'd have been there in a flash. If another one was scheduled there in the last 5 years, I'd have been there. Since I lost my Alpine to fire, it doesn't matter much.
But, if there was a SUNI in driving distance in the next couple of years, it might just get me to finish my SV V6.
If there is any interest in holding one in SK Canada, I might be persuaded to organize it. I don't know what it might entail, but if anyone wants to clue me in, get at it.
One good thing: your dollar would go a lot farther. One bad thing, you would have to drive a lot farther.

We would be there if at all possible. But it is a long distance to drive and I'm 76.
Organizing an event is about like you might imagine. Finding a suitable hotel, places of interest to see and to hold events. The huge joker in all of this is turnout. Will you need a facility for 30 cars or 125 cars? Banquet room for 50 or 175? No one can guarantee attendance. People get sick, die, have to attend weddings and graduations. Cars burn up in garage fires. To me, putting on an event is not that difficult, knowing what to plan for is.

65 sunbeam and I set up the TE/AE United at Dayton in 2015. I did the leg work with the hotel, car show , etc. There 's a bunch of negotiating with hotels , parts and hospitality, locations for day trips, etc. The drive to Dayton for meetings was about two hours one way. This turned out to a large event with 100 cars on the show field for the concourse. It's a very time consuming chore and doesn't happen over night and the end result requires a lot of help right up to the last person leaving for home.

I should also have mentioned that Eric got stuck with all the easy paper work. You just don't know when to say "NO". Two Uniteds in Charleston, numerous Invasions and gosh knows what else. I've tried to convince you to quit complaining about grey hair. At least you have hair!
