Hello. I am new to the HET Club. I live in Colorado Springs, CO. Just learned from another forum member that in 2015 the National Meet was held here.
How often are there National Meets? Any potential interest in doing it in Colorado Springs again?

They move the meets all around the nation. In time it will back in the interior west.
Specifically, each year it moves to a different region of the U.S. in a set order (there are four regions). Chapters within each region vie to sponsor the national in a specific year, and are chosen by the National officers.
Generally, the National Meets are selected 2 or 3 years in advance.

It is a TON of work to put on a National meet and it can be difficult to get enough local members willing to put in the 100's of hours needed to make a meet successful. It will probably be a few years before anyone in the local chapter decides to give it another go. I am in Centennial Co. and we would love to have you join our chapter. We get together at least once a month at some interesting venue. Most of the gatherings are around Denver but we are willing to travel for some place cool.
