Upcoming Chesapeake Region EventsSummer 2021 Chesapeake Region plate meet11th Annual ALPCA Chesapeake Region Summer Meet
New location this year! In order to be as COVID-safe as possible, the Chesapeake Region has elected to hold this year's meets at outdoor venues. The meet will be held in and around the covered open-air pavilion behind the American Legion hall, rain or shine. This meet will be somewhat similar to the Trexlertown, Pa. meet held each year in early June. The pavilion has roughly 20 or so 8-foot tables available, but once those are claimed, members wanting to sell plates will have to fend for themselves. We encourage people to bring their own tables, canopy tents, etc. if possible. There is a lawn area available for setting these up. Hampstead is in rural Carroll County, about 20 miles north-northwest of the Baltimore Beltway / I-695, and about 10 miles south of the Pennsylvania state line. This event is not open to the general public. Future Chesapeake Region meetsWe haven't yet made any specific arrangements for plate meets beyond 2021, but we're working on it. We do plan to continue to hold a meet in central or southern Virginia each spring and a meet 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 conventions
ALPCA 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.
