2012 ENM Chattanooga, TN, 16-20 May 2011

Post by navguy12 »

Hello to the team that is putting the Chattanooga show together:

I know its 9 months away, but........

Sharon and I are planning a vacation around the show dates and will arrive on the Sunday before the show (Sunday, 13 May 2012).

Will show attendees who arrive early (like we plan to) be able to stay at the venue hotel for what ever block price structure will be in place for the meet?

Thanks

Mike

I can tell you that IF they get it in their hotel contract, they CAN extend the hotel rates for a few days before and after the meet, but only if they ask.

So, from a lessons learned, post show debrief point of view: can the team for the Chattanooga show look at the concept (extend room rates a few days before/after the meet) for the hotel contract?

Thanks

Update: Sharon and I have booked our room at the Choo Choo Hotel 13-20 May 2012

Best (non-refundable) rate for Sunday thru Wednesday morning (13-16 May 2012) is 104.99 plus tax ($US369.30 bottom line) for balcony view of pool, king size bed non-smoking.

'Group rate for car show' (Wednesday 16 May thru Sunday morning 20 May) is 99.00 plus tax ($US464.32 bottom line).

Cheers

Mike,

How come you paid more than the group rate? Did they not give you the group rate pre and post show dates? If not, contact me and I'll give you John Fryday's email so you can chat with him.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'll just let things sit as is.....

The group rate according to the hotel staff starts on the Wednesday evening.

And since we are locked in with the "no chance of refund" rate of $104.99/night for the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings, I'll just take the $5/night hit if in fact one could get the club rate earlier than the Wednesday night.

The lady who handled my booking said the system would only allow me to book the club rate starting on the Wednesday night.

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

Very sorry, I just saw this post. I would've directed you to John as well. However, I'm pretty sure the contract was in place before your original post, so I suppose it wouldn't have mattered.

Which of your cars will be there, if either?

See you there.

Not a problem. We are just looking forward to exploring the city and having some fun. Sharon has already downloaded a tourist book and picking things to do.

The '77. I'm aiming to compete in Emeritus (1st plate was in Laconia, 2nd plate was in Pontiac)
See you there.
You bet

Thanks for your e-mail reference (the USPS money order for) my show entries arriving your location. Great job letting me know they did as it puts my OCD mind at ease!!

Also appreciate the PDF "Chattanooga Show Confirmation Notice".

Great staff work, reminds me of my old RCAF flying days, about effective communication only occurring when recipient of info acknowledges same......

See you in about 4.5 months......

Happy New Year

Mike

Actually, James Kaster (meet chairman) is responsible for most of that.....he's doing a great job. Several of us are pitching in to get things together, but he's really running the ship and keeping everyone on course.

Yes, 4.5 months! It should be alot of fun. :grin:

Got my confirmation that they accepted me! :D Can't wait to go; getting the Lincoln all spruced up for what could quite possibly be my last judged show.

And I got a surprise for all of you who go.......
