RRC06 planning..., it was so damn fun last year... we gotta Options

[TINCAN914]

Brian,

your enthusiam is wonderful.
speaks well of your personality also.

I think Joe worked his butt off last year on awards.
don't know if he or anyone is willing to work that hard again.

agree that door prizes are a big hurdle yet.
and T-shirts or something also.

however we should be able to start registration soon without those 2 details in place. All we need to know is the total cost.

What is everyone thinking cost wise?
-Bbque ($15 a person with beer? or perhaps as little as 10$ each?)
-Saturday dinner will probably be $25-ish
-box lunch roughly $10each
-figure $5 from each entry towards awards or misc.
-and another $5 for charity

I'm guessing that roughly we need 70$ total again
maybe less? (maybe 65$?)

what else am I forgetting gang?
I must be leaving something out?
brant

Thanks Brant....
$75.00 sounds good......
But since I'm new, I might be expecting to much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Nice to see that a large number of people are showing interest in attending...

[TROJANMAN]

let's do something like $69 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Brian,

I'm not certain.. but I'm guessing that Jeff (Jsteel) will not make it.
he is having a tough spot right now and I'm guessing not a lot of extra $$ for fun trips. (hope I'm wrong though)

Oh ok I will remove him. I thought he said he was coming. No biggie.

I think he had a blast last year..
and I sure would like him to come (nice guy!)

but perhaps email him and ask him..
(I'm guessing he is a maybe, just because of the "very unfortunate situation" he is in right now.

also I like the list idea.
my dad will come so I will be #2

I think we need to email the other planners and get their input.. john, joe, eric

I'm feeling like we have a ton of momentum going today, because people had such a fun time at WWC. I thin we should nail down and open the registration before people's enthusiasm wears off. Seems like the 70$ fee is going to be about right. Has anyone thought of anything else we should account for? I doubt without the basically free labor we had last year that our awards will be anywhere near as nice... but we can probably still go cheap and get it done.

we can do kids for free again and they buy their own food. We can use some of the extra money to purchase their box lunches and water for free.

so I'm feeling that 70 is close for every meal eating adult.

ben any update on the river place and their price?

greg any update on the box lunch place and their price?

lets nail down the prices and open the registration

Brant, updated quantity committed, we had two more people confirm they were going, we should now be over 40 with spouse and kids.. It would be great to get over 50...
I agree the sooner you get the registration formdone the better, once they fill it out then they guarantee they will be there. We would also have a correct count for food, drinks etc.

The sooner we get this annouce the cost and get this nailed the better.
Do you want to e-mail Eric, Joe & John for suggestion?

If we can get some scrap parts for awards, we can start working on those right away. I wouldn't mind screwing around with a few....

Remember next weekend is the BBQ at my house, so if everyone can make it, we can talk further in detail.....

[BMartin914]

Ok...Last year, I think we had 27 total attendees. This year we are already up to 40.

What do we what to guess is a final number for this year?

I was going to call the lodge today and reserve the space and hammer out the details there, but I am beginning to become concerned if they can fit a group of this size. We may need to use both the upper and lower patios to accommodate everyone.

Should I tell them 50 people, 60?

Let me know what you think boys and I will get this taken care of - it was the highlight of last years event IMO.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Ben, I was wondering the same thing.. I think we will easily me 50..... Just the number of replies in yesterday alone, we doubled last year. (very cool). Maybe we should plan for 60? We can always call them in 3-4 weeks, and scale it down right? If we wait and tell them we need to increase the number, that might be more difficult... Just my .02.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

[TROJANMAN]

BEN,
i know they have anotehr group staying there at the same time we will be there, because the lodge had no vacancies for that weekend. So it might be a good idea to call and reserve something now. I would guess 50 is a good number by my count.

[BMartin914]

It appears as if they have 2 other groups STAYING at the lodge at the same time, but Sandy (guest relations person) thinks that we are ok, but she is double-checking to be sure...

What time do we want this shindig to get underway? 6:00 PM? 7?

[TROJANMAN]

Ben - Schedule the Dinner for Sunset

Friday Night:

The hotel is going to provide tables and chairs for 50 in their courtyard.

She said we are OK to "bootleg" a keg or two in, but that we are the ones "responsible" for doing so.

The courtyard is located below the pool area and has 2 BBQ's

Only 7 rooms have been reserved so far.

[BMartin914]

Ben - Schedule the Dinner for Sunset

8:00? 8:30?

I guess sunset NOW is about 8:30, what will it be in September? I can't remember. I am still waiting for her to call me back...

[TINCAN914]

What about the little kids? Isn't that kinda late for them to eat? Maybe 7:00? Can always grill for the kids, and then for the adults later...

[BMartin914]

I liked last year,the sun was setting while we ate - it was great...

When is Eric's daughter's B-Day? Is it the 23rd?

Might have to put a little something together again for her if it is...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) A little Princess party!!

[BMartin914]

We're all set!

Dinner at the Red Cliffs Lodge September 23rd, (tentatively) 6 PM for between 50 and 60 people.

Dinner is 18.00 per person plus tax and tip. For those bringing their munchkins, munchkins under 10 eat for half price.

Same dinner set-up as last year.

That's about it, better make those hotel reservations...

Greg: Are we planning on doing the wraps again this year for lunch on Saturday? You did a bang-up job with those last year!

She said that last year we booked for 6, so I went ahead and said to schedule us for then. It is not a big deal if we want to eat later, just have to let them know a couple of days in advance.

I'll look into their 3 and under policy.
