There is one group that will be arriving from the North and NE areas and I belive they are meeting somewhere in Seekonk or Swansea, another group that will be coming from the western and southern route which will meet at Rt-1A off of 138 in the big park and ride area. Both groups will do thier thing and have breakfast and whatnot and we will all converge at Newport Grand. As I understood it, that was the plan. As for bringing up the rear, we need to try to maintain a continuity of the group, staying close enough together so that we don't have people "cutting in" to the group. It may be difficult to do, that's why I'm going to try to get an escort. That may or may not happen but, Newport is a tourist attraction and should afford us a bit of courtesy, after all, we will be spending money. At least that's what I am going to tell the powers that be!!!
