Reading 8 Dates?

[svxcess]

READING 8 will be held from Friday, April 20 to Sunday, April 22, 2007.

Here are the essentials:

Reading 8 Dates: Friday, April 20 to Sunday, April 22, 2007

A block of 40 rooms has been reserved for us. There are 35 rooms with 2 queen beds and 5 king suites. The rate for either is $72.00/night plus 11% tax, for a total of $79.92/night.

The dining room will again be open for lunch on Saturday from 11:30am-1:30pm., the same as it was last year.

There are two other groups booked for that weekend. One is taking about 50 rooms and the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) is taking about 30. They will be here for events at the Maple Grove Raceway (more motorheads... woohoo!)

Sydney Simpson (our HI sales director) says that as our block starts to fill up, she can add additional rooms if we need them, as long as they are available. The only way we can be assured of that is to confirm early if you even think you might go. Your CC will not be charged until you arrive and you can always cancel at the last minute. If you commit enough put your name on the signup sheet, then be prepared to call the hotel after they receive the signed contract. Ask for the reservation under the "SVX World Network" or the "Subaru SVX Club"

The reservation phone numbers for the Morgantown Holiday Inn are:

Toll-free: (800) 339-0264
Local: ....(610) 286-3000
Fax .......(610) 286-1920

The last date for reservation cutoff of the remaining, unconfirmed rooms in the block was Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 4:00PM.

UPDATE

The leftover rooms were returned to the general availibility pool and any reservations made after this date are honored on a space-available basis, and not at the original group rate, but the prevailing rate of $139.00/night plus tax, for a per night rate of $154.29.

You can go directly to the signup sheet by clicking THIS LINK. Go to the last page and add your name.


Don't wait to register! Poor Kelli (SHISVX) had to pay double the price of our group rate. She waited too late and registered after the block of reserved rooms was gone. With tax, her room was over $150.00/night

Some of us poor southern boys can't enjoy those luxuries anyway.

I think I'll go drown my sorrows. I never get to hang out with the big boys at Reading. No expertice from the Tom's, no riding in supercharged SVX's. I'm an outcast in a world of have's.

Cry a tear for me, as I drown my sorrows.

Easter 2007 falls on April 8th.

The 2nd weekend in April is Friday, April 13 to Sunday, April 15.
The 3rd weekend is Friday, April 20 to Sunday, April 22

Since the meet monster was relatively on his good behavior this year, should we tempt him with a Friday, the 13th?

We can have a poll later down the road. I definitely want to get Reading 8 hotel plans completed by the end of the year. As I said on another thread, I want everyone who is considering attending to reserve rooms within 30 days of the contract being signed, so we can enlarge the block as necessary.

John,
I vote for the April 20 weekend - better chance of good weather and no conflict with getting taxes in.
Bummer about Kelli. This points out that one should register early and if you can't make it, cancel the reservation - one just has to remember!

The meet this year was great in spite of the rain (and a bit cold too). Just getting together with ole friends was the best part! Well done, John!!

I will agree in April 21st & 22nd. Besides that is my birthday weekend.

That is if I do not break another timing belt, again .

I vote for the 3rd weekend as well. Can't really relax till the taxes are done. Anyway, the later we have it, the better chance the weather will cooperate.

[SVXRide]

Yep, 3rd weekend is fine. Suggest you consult the Farmer's Almanac to make sure it will be warm and sunny

This gives me time to come up with something faster then the car I brought this year. Maybe a Prancing Horse?

[TomsSVX]

Book it, you know we will fill it

My instincts tell me to just go ahead and confirm over the phone now for 40 rooms. That gives the hotel time to get a contract to me and sign it. Things really aren't official until they get a signed contract back.

In the meantime I can get more feedback here.



Start thinking about what to do for the 15th...

IT'S DONE!

I just got off the phone with Sydney at Morgantown. She is reserving a block of rooms for us over the phone and has emailed me the contract, as well as mailing a hard copy.

You are really organizing early this year! We don't need the hotel reservation as we have always been "commuters" but we enjoy and appreciate all the effort needed to get this together. Being fairly close to Morgantown, if you need me to do something (that does not require pulling out SVX innards), let me know. Sandy

2. Larry III & the Beautiful Naviguesser
3. Budfreak & Mrs.Budfreak(For as long as I'm breathing)
4. Tigershark (hopefully driving my own Porsche next year)
5. CigarJohnny and PTJackie
6. svxxx26
7. newsvx
8. hophead
9. MatthewMongan and April (Mongan, by then)
10. Sandy and Unkle Worn

Well done, John - as usual, you are well on top of things.

I have not been online to to being just too busy to even get on the computer much, but as soon as you let us know when to make reservations, I'll be calling.

Thanks for doing all of this!!

Bump - just to keep the dates easy to find. Unless someone wants to "sticky" this thread?
