The Colonial Region is returning to the Boxboro Regency in Boxboro, MA for Fall 2024. The Sunday meet format has proven to be popular and well attended, with 231 ALPCA members plus guests at the Fall 2023 meet! The Boxboro Regency, located at 242 Adams Place, Boxboro, MA, boasts the largest hall space that we’ve ever had at 13,000+ square feet. With 160 tables, this means more plates, friends, and camaraderie than we’ve ever had under one roof at prior meet sites. With last year’s attendance being the best attended one-day regional meet in the country, at our Fall Meet you should expect to see friends that you may not have seen in years, meet new ones, and possibly have access to the most plates outside of attending the annual convention.

​​

RSVP in advance to let us know of your plans to attend!

 

As attendance has been increasing at our meets, it is helpful to know in advance approximately how many members will be attending and how many tables will be needed.

 

Please email Bob D'Amico at carjudge@gmail.com with your RSVP and table request.

 

The information you provide will not be binding nor is it considered registration.

Auction! Auction! Auction!

 

Our donation auctions are always lively and there is something there for everyone. The Colonial Region donation auction traditionally features plates of countless description, age, jurisdictional issuance, and value point. The Colonial Region has relied on the thoughtful donations of ALPCAns across the country for many years, as this is how we fund many of our special member benefit projects. Please consider donating, be sure to register and bid! Managed deftly by Auction Manager Bob Senatro, this is an element of our meets not to be missed.

An important note concerning membership renewal:
 

Renewing your membership in ALPCA is a club-related activity that must be carried out between the individual member and the ALPCA Secretary. No Officer of your regional administration (The Colonial Region) has the ability, access, nor authority to address or perform this action for you.
 

As you must be an active member with paid dues to attend any ALPCA meet, please ensure you have renewed your ALPCA dues in a timely manner so that you appear as paid in the membership roster on the ALPCA website on or before the date of our Winter Meet.
 

Questions or concerns on membership status and registration renewal must be addressed to the ALPCA Secretary at secretary@alpca.org.
