Carlisle Meet

[Rob Peters]

Can you believe it is already June 1^st?

I know it is hard to believe here in Pittsburgh.  This unusually cool/cold weather is getting real old, it was in the 40’s here this morning and the furnace is still coming on instead of the air conditioning.

So, seeing that it is now June, this means it is also the same month as our combined 2025 Carlisle Mini-Meet/2025 Eastern Meet!!!   So for some of us it means we need to get our Monte projects completed in time to head to Carlisle.

With the cancellation of the Ron Tevis 2025 Eastern Meet in Somerset, due to the tornado’s, Ron had to make a hard decision to cancel this event.  Due to the death and destruction in that area it was the right decision.  That same weekend, since I already had the Carlisle Mini-Meet plans intact we decided to move the Eastern Meet to Carlisle, PA and make this a combined event.  Thank You to Ron for all he did in the planning of the Somerset Eastern Meet.

I had planned to arrive on Thursday but with the addition of the Eastern Meet I may be heading to Carlisle on Wednesday, June 18^th to firm up our plans with our caterer for our Group Buffet Dinner on Saturday evening and our Thursday night Pizza Party.  I will attach a copy of the Group Buffet Dinner flier to this email/message.  You will also get this flier in your registration packet when you check in with us when you arrive.

When you check in we will also be collecting money for both the Thursday Pizza Party and the Group Buffet Dinner.  I ask you to please have the exact amount ready when you arrive.  The cost per person for each of these are as follows: 

·         Pizza Party will be $6.00 per person in you party

·         Group Buffet Dinner will be $21.00 per person in your party. 

We have also prepared an itinerary.  I will also attach a copy of this itinerary to this email/message.  You will see that we will have a lot to offer.  Ron had planned a little game of guess who this member is which is a cassette we will play of a recording of one of our members and the person who guesses correctly who this member is will receive a prize.  We will also be hosting a show field seminar on gas gauge troubleshooting.  The club officers will also have a few items for sale in the club canopy.  All of these activities will in or at the Show Field Canopy.

Hotel activities and special things will be as follows:

·         The hotel will rope off a large section of their parking lot specifically for our club cars

·         The hotel will have available an area in our parking area for our members to wash their cars

·         Thursday arrivals, please check in with us to get your meet registration items, pay for your pizza party and pay for your dinner (We would like to get all of the Thursday arrivals checked in that same day so the planners (Meet Heads) have a chance to enjoy as many Carlisle Events activities

·         Each evening will be bench racing in our club parking area.  Bring your chairs, snacks and beverages

·         Thursday evening Pizza Party will be held in the hotel hospitality/breakfast area (Please bring your own beverages

·         Thursday we will go as a group to the show field to decorate our club canopy.  If we have enough people helping with this activity we should be able to knock this out withing an your

Following our Saturday evening group dinner, will return to the hotel to present our club awards and will have some door prizes to give away.  We would like to do this immediately following our return to the hotel so if you are trailering your car please do this trailer loading following the awards and door prizes.

I think we have most members cell phone numbers.  This is good because Joe Tedesco is setting up a “Group Text” and we will use text messaging to send members any updates during the meet so when you arrive and check in with us please verify with us the numbers we have are all cell phone numbers.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone.

If you have any questions please feel free to email, text or call me.  You can also leave me a PM on the club website.
