I used to help set up the tents when it was held at UNF. I don't miss the games unless there's no option otherwise. I'll definitely be there! Love the fairgrounds location.

We can always use help setting up the tents!

What's ironic is that I lived in Orange Park when I would come to UNF to help set up, but now I live just a few minutes away from UNF and the games are minutes away from where I USED to live.

I'll be there, and hope to bring some new MacLaren members with me!

The Mrs.'s brother and sister-in-law used to live in Jacksonville and I always wanted to combine a trip to visit with them and got to the NEFL games. They moved to Canada.

Hi,

if it doesn't sound like a totally stupid question... why are there Games going on at this time of year? Is it not too cold? Or am I just not thinking tropically enough?

Here in Northumberland, it's blimmin' freezing, with gale force winds scouring the frostbitten birds off the treetops and lashing the rain horizontal. I'm assuming that can't possibly be the case with the Games that have been happening in the US (like the Queen Mary and now this one) over the last couple of weeks, otherwise there'd be no audience, just a bunch of frozen, soaking-wet athletes huddled in the middle of a big empty showground...

Actually, that sounds a bit like the afternoon of the North Berwick Games last year... absolutely poured down for the Heavy Events!
