Hello 914 World-
I am excited to announce the upcoming Northeast Gathering-6, taking place July 11-13 in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. This annual event brings together Porsche 914 enthusiasts from across the region to celebrate these iconic cars, foster community, and enjoy a weekend of camaraderie and scenic drives.
We will be at the iconic Skytop Lodge this year and will have some great roads, fantastic food, some cool vendor raffles, tech sessions, and a few other things we are planning for fun. We are open to all Porsches if your 914 can't make it or grab a seat with someone else for the drive.
Save the date and register here:
https://form.jotform.com/250847809330157Registration is $100 as most of the cost is baked into the rooms (see below). For a day tripper please register and then call the hotel for the meal payment ($81.27) for Saturday. They just opened up this option so we have flexibility for locals not staying over night.
After registration you can add our Group WhatsApp chat and we can use that to stay organized leading up to and during the event.
Please like and follow our NEG page here:

https://www.instagram.com/orangebones44/Check out Skytop here: It is family friendly and so are we! Please do feel free to bring significant others or a younger future 914 owner along. We have single and double beds and prices vary but do include the cost of on site catering on Saturday, which will be top notch.
https://www.skytop.comhttps://www.instagram.com/skytoplodge/Reservations-Guests will call 855-345-7759 and select option #1 to make a new room reservation. Then they just need to reference Porsche or reservation #701986. Deadline is June 13th to register and book rooms.

As often happens, NEG and Boy Scout summer camp are at the same time. So looks like I'll have to skip this year. :-(

I hope there will be an update on planned activities and how to register at some point that's not on Facebook or Instagram or other social media sights. I've given them all up, except this, of course. And I really look forward to meeting you all from the NE who can attend.

But that Skytop Lodge doesn't look so nice. Can't we just stay at the Hershey Knights Inn instead?
Thank you, Travis and the NEG Planning Committee!

No, no, the Knights Inn really is nice.
Probably not going to make it to Carlisle. I
should go and give away a bunch of parts I will never use, but too many things to do now that summer/guest season is on the way.

Hi all - I added Registration details to the main post. @admins can you pin this so it is easier to find? Thanks!
OrangeBones
Mar 31 2025, 04:59 PM
No worries - The registration details are in the first post now. The only thing to consider is adding the WhatsApp app for communications. All event organization, driving route links, etc are only going through the chat as it is the easiest way to stay organized. Hope to see you there!!

Is there a Promo Code to use when registering at the Skytop Lodge?
The room price has gone from an expensive $309 a night to an outrageous $368 + whatever taxes and resort fees they add on...
This, just for a place to sleep.
Some of us 914 owners are CSOBs
This does make a good case for the Knights Inn.

I'm in for the Gathering. Spokeworks will donate 2 sets of brake LEDs for the raffle.
Met Howard at Mark Epstein's shop and he asked me to do a tech session. I'd be more than happy to do one installing LEDs for someone.

Registered and made the hotel reservation. Just waiting for admin approval to join the WhatsApp group.
I'm assuming the registration is per person, correct? I registered myself and Management (aka, the wife) separately, since I didn't see any way to add a guest in the registration form.

Unfortunately at the moment it is not possible. Otherwise I would have done it for you guys a while back.

I’ll work on that this week. Probably need the info 2 weeks before so I can order t shirts. Hotel booking deadline is this week to get the rate. After this week I have to give up the room block for any we don’t use. You can still book but I can’t guarantee a spot.
