Sturgis in 2016 with friends from NS is on our list already so timing would have to work around that.

Proposal - 2016 National Meet ???
Going to talk it up with the other western xriders at our Sicamous meet in a couple of weeks . Hoping to propose that the meet being in Ft Frances the first week of August 2016.
Sturgis 2016 is scheduled for Monday Aug 8 to Sunday 14 , most riders arrive the weekend before the start. I know Mike is planning on going and any other eastern riders if you've never been ,you might want to consider it.
So what I will be bring up to the western group is we hold the meet Starting Tuesday Aug 2 and Run it threw to Thursday 4 .
Basically that gives every one 3 days (Sat. Sun and Mon) to get to Ft. Frances should be good for anyone Nova Scotia east (sorry NFLD you'll need to take the Friday off)
Everyone from the west should be doable even from the Island.
After the meet it also would give everyone 3 days ( Fri, Sat and Sun) to return home.
So basically 95% of the riders would need just 1 week of their vacation time to travel to , take part in and return home from the meet! Those that want to take the extra time and do the Sturgis you'll need to take a second week off.
Welcome any input from the east, so we can consider everyone's need and hopefully get the National Meet back on the agenda.
