[Pantherjon]

Am going to TRY and make it! Sounds like a lot of fun! But, unsure, have 2 other out of state events in May(NASCAR in Darlington, and NSL) which may suck out fundage..But am penciling it on the calendar as a definite possible maybe

Hey Irv,
Where would I find more information about this event, we would like to be an attending vendor.

 

[loopy]

Dang. My wife gave a resolute "NOT on your life!!!" when presented with the idea of spending our wedding anniversary at ST...*sigh*

 

[astrowolf67]

Mark, plan a trip to Nashville for your anniversary, there's plenty to do there. And, Manchester is just a short drive away if you happen to accidently get lost after accidently loading your rockets and equipment instead of your luggage

 

[Lucky 94]

I am there. And so begins the begging and persuading.

Good point...lol

 

[WAC_Hal]

I'll probably be attending.......especially since it's only 25 miles from where I live.

 

[Lucky 94]

I am probably gonna be able to go for one day.

 

[JamminJenny]

Gonna try and make it there!

 

[H128Addict]

I'm definitely going to try and get there since I only live a little ways away and haven't seen any high powered launches in a while

 

[mc2-2]

If you don't show up I come and get you!!!!!!!!:lol:

I dont know if Irv ever got back to you about being a vendor or not but Styme is one of our officers; Treasurer I believe... so he can probably fix you up with info on that.

 

[mc2-2]

YES I did send him a PM and told him all about ST2008. He had a great deal of interest and hoped he could work it into his budget and calender. Sure hope he can make it.

[hilltopper]

I cant wait for the '08 season to begin!

[Fore Check]

I can't find a website or anything pertinent for Southern Thunder 2008.

Who is the hosting club? If it is "MC2", there is no direct info on the site (or it is buried and not linked to in an obvious enough way such that I assumed it was non-existent)

Where is the event being held at?

Launch fees?

Pre-registration?

Local hotels?

Participating on-site vendors?

Thanks.

I've wanted to go the past two years, but had to sit out both times. So, I'll give this year a maybe.

Question: are there any good camping facilities in the area?

There is a KOA close to the field. Click on the LODGING button for more info.

 

[agrippo]

I stayed in one of the cabins at the KOA last summer during ST2007. I didn't like it since it cost the same as one of the local motels but didn't have any facilities and the cabin smelled musty and moldy.

The campground itself though was excellent, the folks that run it are great. The place is safe, well run and clean so if you want to use a tent or stay in a RV I highly recommend the place but stay away from the cabins.

Have a Great Day!!!

I wonder if the National Sport Launch in O-burg the following weekend will affect the attendance this year. I want to attend both but I don't know if I can do it logistically and financially.

Last year ST seemed to be at about max. capacity. I don't know if that field can handle many more flyers. I know if the range could be setup so the banks of pads can be loaded while other banks are being flown pad capacity could be almost doubled.

We had a great time last year and I am going to volunteer to help out this year. Since last year it seemed like things were a little understaffed.
