It's still March and we have 20 people pre-registered for the rally!

Eleven have reserved a space in the bunkhouses. We will have to restrict the number of bunkhouses this year to make some social distance. I think we will hit the limit and then tell the rest of the people that it will be camping only.

I'm registered with a cabin.

I will also be hosting a Tech Session on Saturday, if the organizers can provide cover for the inevitable rain.

In addition, I will be providing a set of DVD Videos as door prizes, courtesy of www.jvbproductions.com.

From Massachusetts to Florida and from Delaware to Illinois, riders are registering for the Square Route Rally. About half of the registrants reserved bunks in the bunkhouses. We expect those to fill up and then the rest of the attendees will have to camp. https://bmwbmw.org/srr

I'm coming this year, probably for my final attendance before moving to Memphis.
Willing to help set and work the Tiki bar, for a few hours each night, prefer 6 to 8 shift as I'm and early to bed type. I can be there early Friday IF someone wants to share a room at a local motel Thursday evening in Thurmond so we can be right in the area. If not will be p by around Noon or so.

Hold on to that thought! We are discussing with West Mar about access Thursday night for camp and/or Cabin for Club Volunteers!

Anyone wishing to volunteer - please chime in so I can get an approximate count.

I'm one, and Rocket Man is 2!

Thaks,
