Welcome to a new Capitol Area Member

[Haggis]

We now have a new member in the area usgecko (Stuart) and his girfriend Nora are now living in Asburn, Va. Chris and I was lucky enough to finally meet Stuart and Nora this past Saturday, they drove to Frederick for a Cruise-In and we meet them there. We talked for a while and got to know one another, they are good people. I also was able to give Stuart a ride in K/B #8 and to say he was impressed I think would be an understatement. Let's just say he left thinking on how he could save up enough money to purchase a S/C kit.

Ok, back to the point of this Thread. We in the Capitol Area have been talking about having a meet this Summer, well? I would like to have one to welcome Stuart & Nora into the area and also to say farewell to Phil & Tasha since they want to move to Texas before the end of the Summer. I would also like to have the meet before Indy that leaves only two weekends open the 10 & 11 or the 17 & 18 of July or we can wait until after Indy, but then we are looking at August sometime.

Well how about it gang, it will give those going to Indy a chance to discuss plans of travel and those not going to possibly change their minds. We only have a couple of weeks to get this figured out for as many as possible to attend and to have Dash Plaques made.

Suggestions would be helpful on a place and date to meet.

Haggis,

I am up for this. I prefer 10 or 17 July; but could probably make the Sunday dates as well.

usgecko, welcome to the CAM.

17 July is out due to Tasha Racing (AGAIN!) at Mason Dixion.

BTW all Marauders are wilcome to attend. Just conntact the NVMC for details.

Other then that, a nice cook out at algonquian (sp?) park would be good.

usgecko, welcome to the CAM.

Oops, my bad. I have a conflict with July 17th. Company annual picnic.

Welcome to the new CAM member.......Enjoy!

Well, Dot will be in Denver from the 8th to the 18th. So, I'm up for either weekend but prefer the 10th or 11th, and will be alone. Saturday the 17th, I'll be on call, which has been easy money the past few months. That runs from 6AM to 2PM, so basically, I can make an afternoon meet that Saturday. The 18th is out as I'll be picking Dot up at the airport upon her return.

Haggis,
JOan and I are available for July 10 or 11, but not for July 17, 18. Otherwise, I can't do it until after Aug. 10th.

July 17 is not a good date because I think Tasha will be running me down from the rear again at drag day . So any other date would be fine, but I need to check with the boss.

[Stephen Soulsby]

When somebody sets a date, I'll jump. Sundays are usually good. It sucks not having a 9-5 mon-fri job. Just set a date and I'll do my damndest to be there. The closer to Waldorf, the better chances I'll be able to show. However, I'll consider anything. It all just depends on my work schedule.

[Haggis]

Ok everyone how does a afternoon/evening Meet in the Annapolis area on July 10th sound. Does anyone know of a good restraunt in the area that could accommodate a dozen cars or so. I will check out some websites this weekend to see what I can find.

Sorry Haggis to derail your thread. Last night I took delivery of a 2004 Silver Birch with Dark Char. interior. I missed the 2003 too much. I had to do it. Besides with all the rebates I couldn't resist. I do notice the additional power over my 2003 however, plus the trac. control and heated seats are nice.

Welcome mdmarauder, hope to see you at the CAM meet in the works for 10 July in/near Annapolis.

Haggis,
My experience with Annapolis downtown proper is that parking is a major problem. Finding space for one car is a chore -- for 12 is Mission Impossible. There is a parking garage in downtown. May have to do the "outskirts" of Annapolis to find a place with a lot and space for 12.

Either way, I'm in for a CAM meet.

Welcome back!!

I was wondering where you had gone.

Name the place, and we will do our best to get there.

A big welcome to mdmarauder! from your fellow CAM brethern.
Regarding a restaurant in/near Annapolis, I would suggest Parole/RT 450 exit off of Route 50. There is a restaurant park right near Annapolis Mall -- Fuddrucker's, Red Lobster, and several other restaurants there. Plus, parking should NOT be a problem. If we were to meet for Early Dinner, say 4PM, then there will be NO parking problems. If we go to downtown Annapolis, then parking becomes a REAL problem regardless of the time of day -- mostly limited to going to a parking garage -- not my idea of fun. Food for thought!

Hmmm....
A couple of burnouts in a parking garage... with all that smoke, someone might call the fire dept.
