I'm checking to see if there would be any interest in having a session with dispatchers on Sunday June 17th ?
It's Father's Day in the US, so it might be bad timing for some, it's not an issue for me personally.
I was hoping we could get this decided early this week, and give folks some advance notice.
My initial thought is late morning or early afternoon Sunday, so maybe we could get some of our members in Europe to participate with us.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Mike

I think it would be a wonderful idea. Can we do it a little longer than our normal Session times so we can get more trains moving.

European member here, interested on that session.
I have a question on sessions procedures, but I will ask in a new post to avoid off-topic issues

Mike, I will be available this Sunday all day, so what ever time works best with everyone is fine with me.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your responses. I'm not against running a session for a longer duration than we do on a week night, we do have to be careful about it though. If we went 4 or 5 hours instead of 3 hours that probably wouldn't hurt us too much. eetxebarria thanks for responding from the Europe community, if I'm not mistaken you are in Spain. If we run a longer session maybe we could start around 11am CDT or 12pm CDT and we wouldn't run you guys too late into your night. We could potentially run until 3pm or 4pm CDT?
I'd really like for you guys outside of the US to have a strong voice in this, maybe it's something we could do going forward on several Sundays if it's something you want. I appreciate the US guys speaking up too (thanks Sean, Ski, Carlsbad), the more inclusive we can make this the better.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi,
I've no problems running until 4pm CDT. Much appreciated your effort. I will try to answer you the best I can on the trains.
Just as an info for European members, 4pm CDT would be 11pm in almost the whole continent, except for UK, Ireland an Portugal (10pm), and some Eastern Europe countries (midnight). This is easy to search on internet, but just to have in hand.
Regards,
Egoitz

Just an update I "might" not be available Sunday afternoon after all. My ex surprised me by allowing me to have my son until 7pm EDT Sunday night. As long as weather is good, we will likely take advantage of it (currently showing isolated showers). If we are forced to stay inside, then this is something I might be able to take part in. I should be on tomorrow regardless. Got a few things to get off my mind tonight, so I'm not sure I'll be on the server tonight but will likely be on YouTube.
Hope all goes well regardless and you have a great turnout.
Sean

I have scheduled the Sunday session (6/17) from 1pm-4pm CDT. Not sure what kind of participation we will have, but let's give it a try.
Thanks,
Mike

I may or may not be there, not sure what we are doing for Father's day, I think just having a cookout here at the house, so depends on when they want to eat and what not. I'll try to pop in at some point if I can.

Thanks to everyone that participated on yesterday's Sunday session. The turnout was better than I had expected, I appreciate your support for making this happen.
Right now we (or at least I) can't support having a session every Sunday but I'd like to maybe try it a couple of times per month on a regular basis.
Cheers,
Mike

I can do it outside of the summer, but my son will be out of school shortly. We will be negotiating with his mom on having him later in the day. The only Sundays I may be able to come on will be rainy ones, at least until September.
Thanks
Sean
