Tentative Schedule for NE OH APUG Gathering Sept. 17-19, 2010
Please think of this as a suggested plan. It is open to revision through your input or how events evolve. Please offer ideas and modifications and then see what people think. It is all about having an event that we enjoy and addresses our photographic interests.
Friday: The welcome mat goes out at 5:00 PM. Campers set up in the field west of the pond. Gather on the patio by the pond for introductions and conversation. Bring your own drinks. We should have enough chairs. The Porta Potty will be in place. Contributions toward the Porta Potty’s $111.00 cost appreciated.
Bring pictures, cameras, gear or anything else you want to talk about. The darkroom is available for tours, emergencies or film loading and unloading. If you want to sell, swap or give away something tell us about it and a price before hand so we can bring money or ask questions.
Dinner at Fisher’s Restaurant, Main St. (Rt. 303) in Peninsula between the two stop lights in town next to the Cuyahoga River.
Saturday: Gather in the driveway 7:50 AM so we can leave by 8:00 AM for the Cleveland Flats. For locals wishing to meet us there go to
Dead Link Removed, enlarge their map and use their directions. I will have copies for people starting at our house. We will go to Shooters and work south along the west bank of the Cuyahoga finding pictures of opportunity.
Work and stay in the flats as long as you like. I suggest picking a buddy or two who work at your speed and be aware of people around you. There are restaurants open in the area on either side of the river for lunch. Be careful of your gear. This is known as a high risk neighborhood.
Meet at our house around 5:00 PM to look at prints. Bring what you have to show. We will have burgers and pizza at Musketeers Bar & Grille, 3027 Brecksville Rd, Richfield, OH. about two miles NE from the house. Come back after dinner for more talk and print review or go out for an evening shoot.
Sunday: Sunrise shooting for those who want. Please organize yourselves. 10:00 AM, brunch at Richfield Family Restaurant, 4793 Brecksville Road, Richfield, OH 44286. This is on the east side of the road, south of the OH Turnpike entrance, across the street from Days Inn and Hampton Inn.
After brunch we will go south on Rt. 77 to the Akron Art Museum for the two shows.

Afternoon shooting in the park. Don’t forget stuff you may have left at the house.
Thank you for coming. I hope you will have had as much fun at this event as we have had in the past. It works because everyone contributes to making it happen.

It would help to know who is coming,
when they expect to arrive
and where they will be staying.
Input from each person helps build the buzz and enthusiasm for the event.
It won’t happen unless you make it happen.
