Hey all!
Just wanted to 'touch base' for those that are wondering what's coming up.
First, and foremost, the Christmas Party. Yes, I am indeed looking into this. Without going into details a location is being 'reviewed' (no, not last year's excellent find by Greg and Nicky, Texas Longhorn Steakhouse). I can tell you that it will be after Christmas, as was last year. This will, undoubtedly, help to keep family planning less 'clouded' and hopefully keep the head-count up. Details will be made available a.s.a.p.
What else?
January will be Carlisle hotel hunting time. Probably the biggest (event-planning-wise, anyways) job for the year. Input will be appreciated here when it comes time. I really enjoyed Bill's find for this past year. Excellent accomodations with a reasonable price. Perhaps a re-visit from the SCCoO is possible? We'll see.
I'd like to plan some kind of cruise. You know, meet up some place, go for a drive, check out the sites. That kind of stuff. I remember a few locations being offered for the BBQ, maybe one of those would be nice to do/see? This will be something best left untill spring, at the earliest, i'm sure.
This, of course, leads us to the BBQ. Perhaps and good idea to do sometime in the months of August or September. Still some time away, but not forgotten.
You can count on regular trips to the track. I'll be a little greedy here, but judging by past experiences with TMP/Cayuga (by myself AND others) don't count on it. So far the trend has been that while it is a more expensive and time-consuming journey to St. Thomas it is worth it. IMHO, it's worth the drive to London (sounds like a commercial - LOL!). Plenty of notice will be given so that those that are interested can plan accordingly.
Numerous members have commented on planning an SCCoO Shoot-out event. Perhaps inviting our fellow SCCoA members as well. Possible? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Certain details and limitations might make this a rather difficult 'request' to fullfill, but not impossible. I have alreaady looked into this (baby steps) and from the very beginning I can say $100 each ! That's NOT a quoted figure, but one that would be reasonably accurate. Unlimited track useage comes with a cost.
I think that about wraps it up. I'll post information regarding special events as soon as they become available.
Don't be shy. If you've got an idea or input......give 'er!
