We are planning the quickie pin meet for May 31 at 1pm in Cary, yes next Saturday. We are going to meet at a starbucks this time around. The address of the Starbucks is 1904 NW Maynard Road and the phone number is 481-9124. It's in the Lowe's Shopping Center on Maynard and Chapel Hill Road.

let us know if you can make it, so we know how many tables to get together!

i know its a little short on notice, but i hope a few of you can make it, i am looking forward...

it looks like the momentum has gone down on this thread. would anyone be up for an impromptu trade night next weekend or the weekend after maybe?

it looks like may is going to be tough for a lot of us, how about we shoot for june, that way it gives us plenty of time to find a place and arrange our schedules?

Hi all,
Asheboro sounds like a good central locale. Unfortunately, if the meet is set up for May, my wife and I will only be able to make it the 31st (if it is to be a saturday) we are going to be out of town every other weekend.

Greetings Gail,

I'm guessing that Asheboro would be central to almost all of the peeps who have posted about the NC pin meet so far. That would enable the collectors from Charlotte/Concord, as well as Winston-Salem/Greensboro AND the Raleigh/Chapel Hill/Cary/Apex areas to come together with everyone driving from a somewhat equal distance to get there.

If not, perhaps as you suggest, a meet that rotates between the Raleigh/Cary area, to Charlotte/Concord and to...

hi guys,

i can check out the raleigh fuddruckers, if that is where we chose, i dont live to far from it. i am ok with meeting up in a more central location, as well, how many people do we have coming from farther away? we could rotate around a bit, once we get the ball rolling. i would love to have recurring meets! i hope we can drum up some interest in this!

Lee, what would be considered central to everyone? what were you thinking on that one?

life is crazy...

Greetings Jeff,

Are we looking at the weekend of the 31st of May? If so, I can make that but, I'll be out of town over the Memorial Day weekend.

May I also suggest that we try to meet someplace nearer the center of the state? That way the peeps from the Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston-Salem area will be somewhat equidistant from those of us in the Raleigh/Cary area. If it is too far of a drive, some peeps won't be able to make it.

A Fudrucker's...

Sorry for delay..would the last week of May work for everyone? would give me plenty of time to arrange the approval to meet at a Fudds and get some interest in people who would be lurking. Drop me an email at corkeyk@yahoo.com and let me know what you think for a head count.

I did find a few Fudds in The NC area using the Cary zip code:

Jeff,
would you be able to attend a pin meet in May?

i like the idea of the fuddruckers, and yes there is one in Raleigh.

i didnt know if that was too soon for your move, if not, we can try that location on a later meet.

Sounds great to me. The closer to the Cary side would be best for me but I can manage either. I just HATE the traffic the further out I go..lol I will send you an email in just a bit. I am up for just about any weekend.

hi all,
i was just tossing around some dates with lois, who started me thinking about doing a nc meet. how would the 2nd week of may work for everyone? which weekend day works best? we are flexible.

a private room at a restaurant is one idea, however most have a minimum number of people required to book one. i am not sure we have the numbers to do that.

another option is meeting at a local mall food court type place - indoors or outdoors, this worked, so i heard, for...

I am moving to the south central part of Virginia and have a great contact at Fuddruckers Corp that can help setup a pin meet. Just need locations and dates and I could help set something up. We have been holding pin meets in Chicago with Fudd's for almost 3 years and we have been a proven Revenue booster for the location and all of this with them offering us a discount on all food and beverage purchases( yes even the bakery/cookies..). I have a regional and a Corp contact so it...

Oh I would love to get together. I have never been to a meet of any kind so this would be a lot of fun. I am in Sanford.. about an hour south of Raleigh. Charlotte would be a bit far but Cary or someplace like that would be awesome!

Count me in for Charlotte!! Raleigh is not out of the question but not terribly easy for me. Winston-Salem or Greensboro might work.

Wonder if the Disney store in the mall would sponsor or get us some space in the mall. Conversely, we could meet at some place like Dave and Busters or a restaurant with a private room. We'd have to order something but we gotta eat at some point anyway so.....

Hiyas,

I'm in Raleigh also. I'd sure be up for a local meet, depending on the date selected. It'd be a great chance to meet/greet some of the local collectors!
