Ten (10) Reasons Why I Haven’t Registered for MV9 Yet

Ten (10) Reasons Why I Haven’t Registered for MV9 Yet

Register for MV9 here >>>> http://maraudervillenine.eventbrite.c om/?ref=ebtn

1. I ALREADY BOOKED MY HOTEL ROOM

Booking your hotel room and registering for the MV9 events are two separate actions. The MV9 Planning Team worked hard to get very good rates at the MV9 host hotel. If you have already taken care of Step 1 to get a hotel room, that’s GREAT. Step 2 is registering for the events and chipping in some cash to help defray some of the costs associated with your attendance.

2. YOU HAVE TO REGISTER FOR MARAUDERVILLE IX (MV9)?

Certainly, this is how the Planning Team figures out the headcounts for the various events and decides how much of the budget can be allocated to defray the costs of the events, admissions, etc. Right now they are working off estimates from the earlier polls tempered by past experience at prior Maraudervilles. As the date of the event draws closer, these budget estimates must be refined into specific numbers. Your MV9 registration extends that commitment to attend and goes a long way to reduce the guesswork.

3. I’LL WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE IN CASE SOMETHING COMES UP

You can certainly do that. But you will be taking your chances. By registering late, it places an extra burden on the Planning Team. The T-Shirts have to be ordered in the correct sizes and quantities at least 3-4 weeks before the event (i.e. by mid-September). If you haven’t put in your numbers and sizes for the order by then, you might just have to settle for what is left in the box. If they run out of certain sizes or quantities, that’s the way it goes. Same goes for all the other items like the goody bags, etc. MV budgets are usually very tight to minimize costs. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for “extras”.

4. WHAT IS THE REGISTRATION FOR?

The $65.00 per person registration fee covers admissions to events, some lunches, car show awards, Banquet Dinner and Farewell Breakfast, T-Shirt per person and goodie bag. This registration fee covers admission to the National Civil War Museum and a lunch. Admission to Hershey’s Chocolate World. Admission to the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum, the Steam Engine train ride, entry to the Antique Automobile Club of America (ACAA) Museum, Car Show & Awards, Banquet at Hollywood Casino and Racetrack, and the Farewell Breakfast. Trust me … all this is worth FAR MORE than $65.00 and is a real bargain by any measure. I have ALWAYS come home from Marauderville feeling that registration was a real deal.

5. PAYPAL AND ON-LINE PAYMENT MAKES ME A LITTLE SKITTISH

Thousands, if not Millions, of on-line credit card transactions occur every day. Payments are secure and information is confidential. It shouldn’t be a problem at all. Everyone does it. If you are still a little reluctant to pay on-line, then contact one of the Planning Team members by PM and arrange to send your check, cash or money order by mail or contact “MM03MOK” to make other arrangements. PayPal or credit card is quick and easy.

6. I VISITED THE MV9 REGISTRATION SITE AND IT LOOKS COMPLICATED

Bluerauder, Blackened300a, and even CBT figured it out. So basically anybody can do it. Just put a number in each of the boxes for the number of persons in your party who are attending each of the events. Put in a number for the number of cars you are bringing to the Drag Strip (racing or spectating), to the Car Show and for the Photo Op on the lawn at the auto museum. In the bigger box, list your “screenname” and your “real life” name. This will be used for MV9 badges that will be issued to you when you check in on arrival at the host hotel. These badges are especially useful if you are a relative newcomer to MM.Net and maybe haven’t met a lot of people. Seeing the nametag will just help you put a face to a screenname.

7. I AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT PAYCHECK TO ARRIVE

Okay. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you post up your registration soon. Just don’t wait too long.

8. I AM WAITING JUST IN CASE I HAVE TO CANCEL OUT

Full refunds will be granted up until 1 October 2011 (less the PayPal fees). No refunds after 1 October 2011. Stuff has to be ordered in advance to make this work. So far the risk has been on the Planning Team. After 1 October, you will share some of that risk. This is not at all different from many events and vacation plans.

9. I THOUGHT I REGISTERED ALREADY

If your name/screenname doesn’t appear on the listing near the bottom of the registration page, you are not registered for the MV9 events. Unless you have made other arrangements with one of the members of the Planning Team or with MM03MOK, there’s a pretty good chance that YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED.

10. I AM WAITING TO SEE WHETHER THE WIFE, GIRLFRIEND, HUSBAND, BOYFRIEND OR FRIEND CAN COME TOO.

If you are definitely coming, get yourself registered and take care of at least that part. If someone wants to join you later, just put them in on a different registration under their own name. Get yourself on the list first and then “add” or “subtract” as necessary based on the circumstances.

Joanne and I can't get to the festivities until Friday night as we both have work related commitments (Teachers). Next year, I may or may not be retired so that is another issue. This year, I still have duties to run a Science Dept at three buildings and teach AP classes until 4:00 PM. Joanne teaches 'till 3:00 PM
At 4:05...I'm Willie Nelson and "On the Road Again"......!
Now if only I could get Joanne to dress like Dolly, we'd have some travlin act!

One another note, it might be nice to tone down the hard sell, guys. Even I am getting a little perturbed. Lot's of people have budgets to watch and will register as soon as they can. :) There is plenty of time to register!! It is prolly more important to reserve a hotel room because our block of rooms is only available until 30 days before our event.

[Bigdogjim]

Yeah they are holdout's till hurrican Irene blows over:laugh:

I will only speak for myself when I say that I have been working my @$$ off at putting things together for MV9 and I am proud of how it's coming along and am excited to have the biggest turn out possible and have ALL of you there.

It's ok though.... I will "TONE DOWN" my commercializing of MV9 being as how some find it perturbing.


Oh and lastly, I think besides what Charlie has added to this thread THIS is the OTHER smartest thing posted here....

Note to Voula: You have worked so hard, and done an awesome job, on promoting MV 9. Thank you!! :beer:

PS My comment was not about anything Voula has done to bring attention to MV 9. She has done a fantastic job! It was about posting up the names of individuals multiple times, and drawing attention to them repeatedly, and I think excessively. I realize this was done for the very best reasons...but feel once was prolly enough.;)

Neither was my comment! Voula I wasn't directing that comment towards you.
And I hope you didn't take my comment personal. :beer:

It's not the PROMOTING that I was referring to. It's everything else.

You have been so extremely motivated to get people to register and you have been awesome in doing so! I, personally, appreciate your motivation and your "advertising" of MV9! So KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Besides, wasn't lack of advertising the main reason that the Marauder didn't sell???



Love ya Charlie!

[SC Cheesehead]

I am telling you Rex a suck up if I ever saw one:P

Did I ever tell you how much I LIKE SB Marauders?

We are trying to figure out if all three of us can come or I'd be alone again, which I did not care for last year. Thats mid term week for my wife I believe and Britty is playing field hockey and we've not seen a schedule for the season yet. In addition my recovery is not going near as fast as anticipated. :o

Now that I finally registered, put up that list AGAIN with our names:D:D

[FW_Linc/Merc]

WORK!

If it was not for work I would be there!

[CBT]

I love you all, the gatherings are (to me at least) mebbe 5% because other Marauders will be there, and 95% because Marauder-ers will be there. Planning these is probably a monumental brain strain, I wouldn't know as I have never planned one. And it's debatable on me having a brain. But let's not argue now, that's what the raffle and LCR is for. So I say sell it hard, put names out there, especially Joe's, if an individual gets upset, take their name off the list, we are all adults, adults change thier minds, we will get over it either way. Life is short, take a deep breath, step back, and then step right back into it again.
That's what she said. :beer:
