Greetings;
Just returned from the International in Kansas City and decided that it was time to create a personal database of Thunderbird Club meets that I have attend.
So, the question is: Is there a file that lists all the Meets by year, Meet type (Regional or International) and location of the Meet?
How National Meets and their locations

Re: How National Meets and their locations
A listing of past International Conventions with dates hasn't been printed in some time. We had a list developed for the Club's 25th Anniversary if I remember correctly. A listing of cars which have earned Senior status by convention (these are only awarded at International Conventions) can be found here:nelsb01 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 6:56 pm Greetings;

This list gives the year and city for each National/International meet back to the first one in 1972 through 2018. It needs to be updated for 2019 in Princeton, New Jersey and 2021 in Portland, Oregon (no convention was held in 2020).

It would be cool to see such compilation of the meets!

International And Regional Conventions - Historical List
Our Club Historian, Dan Likar, would be the person who would generate this information and provide it for a web page. This list would want to go all the way back to the Club's first National meet in 1972 in Springfield, Illinois. I'm forwarding your question to the Club Historian for his information. I can't speak as to if this can be added to the Website as a page or downloadable PDF file - that's not my department.
Lists of past National/International and Regional Conventions have appeared in past issued of the Club's magazine, Thunderbird Scoop, to coincide with milestone anniversaries (25th, 30th and others). One of the Club's upcoming/proposed projects is to scan and make available for sale to members an electronic compilation of past issued of the Scoop from its beginning in 1968 through the 2000s, but a timeframe has not yet been established for its production and release.
