Since my planned Spring trip to Europe just got canceled, I feel the need to do something. Is anyone up for a weekend gathering in the May/June time-frame? Those coming to Sun 'n Fun, be ready to discuss.

I’ve asked the Culpepper Inn to check availability with the goal of having the whole place again. More to follow...

The Culpeper Inn has 9 rooms available on June 11-12 and 10 rooms on Jun 18-19. There are only 11 rooms at the Inn and one person a long-term guest. We will essentially have run of the entire place. The weekend of 18-19th is blocked out for us at the moment because it's far enough out. The 11-12th are open for reservations so if we want that weekend we need to move quickly. The first weekend is already fully booked. The dates reflect a Friday and Saturday overnight. If you're not familiar with the Culpeper please visit https://www.culpepperinn.com/

Either will work for us. I remember several spring trips that were over Bob’s birthday, that makes it sort of a tradition. David

Did we come up with a firm weekend yet??? I agree with DR ... Bob's birthday sounds like t should be tradition for our Spring gatherings.

I've been waiting to post because i wanted to gage the reaction of our town to the protests. I'm sure many of you have read the reports of the police shooting that occurred in ECity last week. It's certainly been on the national news. There have been daily protests in in response to the shooting, but all have been peaceful. This a small town and the citizens grew up together or their kids go to school together so I'm not surprised. I'm very proud of the way our town has responded. I write that to say that I think we can still hold a safe and fun event. I also think the Bob's birthday weekend perfect.

The room rate at the Culpepper Inn is $96/night. Please let me know asap if you plan to attend so that I can block the needed rooms. If the landscape should change due to the protests aI will immediately update the group, but at the moment my recommendation to press on.

Susan and would be in for three nights: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. 10, 11, 12 June, depart on the 13th. We would not be opposed to renting a car.

With Richard Bentley that 5 flying in plus 2 based on the field. 7 total so far. Anyone else thinking about it? I want to start locking down the number of rooms...
