May 2024 – Central Virginia10th Annual ALPCA Chesapeake Region Late Spring Meet
New indoor location! Mechanicsville is northeast of Richmond. Fairmount Christian Church is immediately off I-295 at exit 34-A, Route 615 East / Creighton Rd. This event is not open to the general public. August 2024 – Maryland14th Annual ALPCA Chesapeake Region Summer Meet
We will once again gather in the gymnasium at the St. Michael Catholic Church in Mount Airy, Md. This is an air-conditioned facility with about 58 8-foot tables available. Mount Airy is between Baltimore and Frederick, just off of Interstate 70. This event is not open to the general public. Future Chesapeake Region meetsWe haven't yet made any specific arrangements for plate meets beyond August 2024, but we're working on it. We do plan to continue to hold meets in northern Virginia each March, in central/southern Virginia each May, and in Maryland each August. We would also very much like to hold additional meets in other locations within our territory, such as in Delaware, or along the I-81 corridor in western Virginia. To do this, we need to find suitable venues and people willing to help plan and host meets in these locations. If you know of an inexpensive meet hall (maximum $500 to rent for 8 hours) that has at least 40 8-foot tables (or can accommodate 300 people seated banquet-style), level access, and adequate parking, located anywhere in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, or Washington, D.C., we'd very much like to hear the details. Tell us about it! Be sure to check back here periodically for the lastest information on upcoming Chesapeake Region plate meets! Upcoming ALPCA conventionsALPCA conventions are held annually every June or July in various locations around the United States. The ALPCA convention is the mother of all plate meets, with many hundreds of collectors in attendance, and probably millions of plates being displayed, traded, and sold. Below are the locations and dates for the next few years. Check the ALPCA web site for more details.
