wexy wrote: Whatever the head count is ,you can divide it by half , I have learned from a lot of past experiences organising rallys etc that only half of the people who put their name down ever turn up ,, So I will be taking no prisioners this year when it comes to signing up .. YOU MUST BE AS NEAR TO 100% SURE YOU ARE GOING . or else do not sign up .. simple as that , At rough count there are probably over 5,000 listed members within a days ride of the Finger Lakes. The active list will be substantially shorter. Is there an true active members list? For example a minimum number of posts within the last year or ??? I can appreciate the frustration of the hotels and other organizing people when cancellations come in at the last minute. Unfortunately this isn't a company event where the boss tells people to go and everyone shows up.

I have tried to do some internet investigation on this and it's a bit like trying to nail jello to a wall. A lot of the events in the area have not set firm dates. NASCAR has but the wine festival hasn't (Suspect Mid July) There are many other shows as well. A major event raises hotel prices and that might discourage some attendees. If the only accommodation was the $400.00 a night waterfront place in Watkins Glen I would likely pass on the meet. We stayed at the Best Western in Horseheads NY and found it to be a comfortable basic motel but it only has 40 rooms in total. Rates seem to vary from $80.00 to $140.00 depending on what's happening in the area at the time. Also what is the maximum distance to the campground? There is a KOA in the area but not being a camper I didn't realize that a living in a small bungalow mounted on a Freightliner chassis qualified someone as a camper. The campsite are a mix of locations for anything from tents, pop-ups, trailers and RVs. There are suitable facilities in the area but to get the real rates we have to make a commitment. But to make a commitment we need the real rates. Catch 22
