Great discussion!
The NCM does help with registration and use of a fantastic facility. Though they do not help with the setup of the "Gathering", like it was in the past. This is much more work and it would be great to get more input from members.
As far as a West Coast Gathering, we absolutely should have one and it can't happen without lots of members stepping up to help.
We are already planning the Gathering for 2013 with a few surprises!
