So if the Lodges there don't accommodate us as a group , can't we all still meet up for a certain weekend , and just get our own rooms wherever ?? ... I understand about the meals , and the seminars , awards and all , but I'd hate to miss this event because the Lodges aren't cooperating

... it's worth it to me to come up and run the Dragon with everyone , the Comraderie was one of the best parts of that weekend
