Never too early for fall meet planning

[frenchblueC2]

I intended to take the reins this year and host the fall meet in NH.
Brapple pm'd me with a suggestion to check out Castle in the Clouds
http://www.castleintheclouds.org/
A place I've always wanted to visit.

Also, we'll have some FL CEGers up in NH this year, so they are hoping to join us.
SVTFLEA and Brent372.

Take a look at the link and let me know what you think about having the fall meet in the NH lakes region this year. Mike already has some cruise routes in mind.

Also, take note under the "Visit the Castle" dropdown, there's a link for Motorcoach Tours and Groups.
I sent an email requesting more info and how well it would suit our needs.

Also look over your calendars for dates that'll best suit your schedules.
We typically shoot for the 2nd or 3rd weekends in October.
Looks like the FL folks would be available October 11th, which is also when I was hoping we'd do this.

well I think its little early since it still the middle of summer


but from the web site this is a place that I would enjoy visiting. I know some people that are there right now today and will ask for their feedback on the location.

So I am all for this location/event this year.

I'm in. As long as I know in advance I will DEFINITELY get those days off!

cobrawannabe needs to call for a taxi in advance. Someone make sure he does it.

 

[zorrex]

Or someone can give him a ride. You're not too far from him Tony :laugh:

I'd have to drive south for 45-50 mins just to shoot way up north.

 

[frenchblueC2]

his parents would never let him accept rides from "strangers".

well you would be close to 395 which would make it easier ...

 

[cobrawannabe]

It's nice to see some of you actually want me there:laugh:

I'll start negotiating now, since I just started college and all. That should be a clue to them:laugh:

Meh. I don't think his parents would spring for a cab anyway.

Honestly, I think it was a mistake.

 

[BrApple]

ok here is the low down I got yesterday

admission is $12

grounds are really nice and the castle is interesting, neat layout. But appearently the one my friends brother got married at was a more impressive castle up in NH somehwere. She didn't recall the name yesterday when we spoke.

I think it would be a great setting on a fall day.

Perhaps my car will be done for this meet.

I think the Motorist group tour pricing was listed as $9 per person, and may even be the price per car with one guest, and includes lunch.
That's the clarification I'm waiting for. So far, they have not responded to my email.

 

[zorrex]

Sweet! Regardless, the price isn't any higher than it was for Sturbridge Village. I'm *mos def* in! :laugh:

I took that as for groups that come on a bus. otherwise it looks like you need a ground of 20 for a discount.

 

[frenchblueC2]

oh well that makes more sense to me now. lol

 

[Lord Stanley]

I was there probably like 6 or 7 years ago... To bad my memory is crap or else I would be able to tell you all about it :laugh:

 

[mnewxcv]

looks interesting. depending when and how much it is, I think I could come up, if my car is running well.

One of my nephews had his prom up there a couple of years ago. I went with my sis to takes some pics for her. I didn't get to walk the grounds much, but it was a cool place...great views.
