The Region 3 Rally is fast approaching. It will be held in Ladson, SC May 19-23, 2004.

This is a full hookup rally. The fee is $240.00

Before you can say "I can't make the whole rally so I am not going to pay the whole fee for the rally" I have a note here from the rally coordinator that states there will be a Pro-Rated fee schedule.

For working families ONLY the fee will be $60.00 per day for the whole family if you show up on Thursday/Friday after work. That is for the whole family, kids and all!

I have also attached the rally schedule. It is subject to change, but will give you an Idea of the events and schedules.

We will be there, looking forward to see you all!

Definitions:

Full Hookup = 30 amp power, water, and Sewer at each site. No dust in the coach, no navy showers, just a fun time. This is included in the rally fee, not extra!

In my book 5 days of camping with food and entertainment for $240.00 is not a bad deal at all.

If enough of you commit to coming, I can offer up another rally forum button......................

Okay, due to reduced fees for us working stiffs,

We will be there for the weekend.

And I expect at least half a button,

I have posted a revised schedule. Please download it again.

Ken, I will have the back half of a button for you

Snadi · 03-11-2004, 07:12 PM

I'll be there the whole week so I want a whole button please!!!

Sandi

Edie · 03-11-2004, 07:13 PM

I'll get started right away on the button design.

Edie · 03-11-2004, 07:35 PM

Here it is...

Snadi · 03-11-2004, 09:59 PM

Looks fantastic! Do you ever consider putting the rally location on the button? That way if our memories fail us and we forget where we were, we can look at our buttons and say, "WOW, I was in Charleston, SC in 2004!".

Looks alot like the Florida Rally button

maybe a dual purpose icon, The Palmetto State emblem.

Replaces Florida rally icon and represents SC location. Okay I am a little biased

I guess I am too late. I see the revised schedule has the Heron on the cover.

I am really looking forward to the Flea Market at both the Rally and the Coastal Carolinal Flea Market.

The Rally flea market should be great for a few reasons, I will be able to clear out the garage and maybe make enough money to pay for my rally fees. Second, I am looking forward to finding those elusive parts and accessories thatI have been searching for.
If you have not been to a Rally Flea market, you do not know how much Airstream stuff there is for sale, CHEAP! a lot of the long timers have been collecting this stuff for years and they finally decide to clean their garages out too.

The Coastal Carolina Flea market is HUGE, with many shops and open air booths. Just about anything you could imagine, and it is within walking distance, a few hundred yards.

I see DON MAR (local Airstream Dealer) is sponsoring a Frogmore stew. For those of you that dont know what that is, it is a local concoction of boiled shrimp, new potatoes, corn on the cob, smoked sausage and lots of spice. Mmmmmm Good!

This rally is sure to be a great one, simply because of the host who are planning this. I have witnessed the producct of these folks efforts and I am certain this one will be even better than the past........ if that can be done

Golfers, Pine Forest CC is a great venue with huge greens, challenging fairways but easy enough for the high handicappers.

SNADI is the outdoors games chairperson, and I have talked with her about that, this is going to be a lot of fun for kids and adults.

GROGAN is heading up the breakfast and I have had his servings, they are the best!

Many members of this forum are chairing efforts for this rally, so I am certain you will see many of those Forum buttons at the Region 3 Rally.

Just in case you did not know, the rally is in May, so time is short.

If you are interested in signing up and insuring yourself a full hook up site contact Ken Cook, Region 3 president at

kcook3@prodigy.net

I also see that many of the sites are lakeside at the Rally site so you may want to get there early and get a site with a great view.

Get em while the gettin is good

As a matter of fact, I thought of that as I was falling asleep last night. Since the Region 3 Rally moves around, I thought it would be a good idea to add the location/theme to the button.

I used the blue heron that was on the rally schedule, but I got to thinking that something related to "Doing the Charleston" might be better.

We are heading out this afternoon for a Unit rally, but I'll work on the button more next week.

Good move Brett!!
Even after my suggestions before the 2003 region 9 rally and input from many WBCCI members, the organizers of the 2004 region 9 rally made no plans for a reduced fee for working stiffs.

smily · 03-13-2004, 05:22 PM

Great news,

From the Host of Region 3 Rally (and the president of Region 3)

The doors have been opened to Airstreamers who are wondering what the WBCCI is all about.

So, even if you are not a member of the WBCCI right now, you can come and sample the goods.

I highly recommend this event if you are not a WBCCI member. You will get to experience what goes on at a "Rally" and most of all, you get to experience it with the most hip and happenest region there is.

Make your reservations as soon as possible with Ken Cook at Kcook3@prodigy.net

Or if you would like a registration form sent to you, just email me at Bass1717@aol.com

Come one, Come all!

Hey, Brett G,

How did you get out of doing a breakfast at Regional 3?

See you there...

thenewkid64 · 03-14-2004, 11:18 AM

WKW,

I have not been asked............. That is either good news for me or I am going to be asked to do a job nobody wants to do

Peter, I cannot take credit for the Working Family fee structure. That comes form the Region rally coordinator. I am just the messenger. It is nice to be able to offer good news instead of bad

I am pushing the if you offer it, they will come plan of action on this issue.

Ken, I plan on bringing a trunk full of stuff for the rally flea market. I am not the only one hoping to make some gas money

The more the merrier, come join us for fun in South Carolina!

HURST · 03-14-2004, 01:31 PM

We (The Big Bend Florida Unit) will be there. If you need to borrow one or both of the picnic tables just look us up. We are the brother-in-law twins, 1901 and 1905.

Plan on it. It sounds like we'll need to have another Forums member happy hour.

And I think I'll bring big rolls of paper so that I can make my own plans from your tables. They are so COOL!

Edie · 03-14-2004, 05:46 PM

Button revision 1. I haven't found any better clip art than the blue heron from the rally schedule, and I like that the button ties in with the rally schedule.

Snadi · 03-15-2004, 08:50 AM

I like the button!!! And remember, I want a whole one. See ya in May.

Sandi

grogan · 03-15-2004, 11:33 AM
