The planning stages for TCMS XI are in the works. At this point the plan is to hold the event in October 2016. (Yes, I know that is a looonnnggg way away!) The range we are considering is Hiciksville Range, in Gatesville. The closest lodging we could find is in Whitney.
We have already had one recon trip, which was not very productive due to heavy rains. The entire recon crew checked out one of the places we are considering staying. The majority of us fell in love with the place, even though it was a gloomy weekend. It made for some fun joking about being the perfect place to film a horror movie, especially with the creepy & trashy road to the resort. We all agreed that the pavilion was awesome; it is big enough to hold all of us without bumping into each other.
NYTexan & BuckeyeTexan checked out the other place. I liked it from looking at their website, but was not impressed with the pictures that Buckeye sent me. She & I are going to do another recon so that I can see it in person. There is also one more location we will look at. The one negative for both of those places is the size of their pavilions ~ we need lots of room to move & mingle.
Next week Eaker, humblegunner and I are going to Hicksville Range for a look see and discuss pricing.
Stay tuned for more info . . .
Thanks :) I was asking because we have two summer trips planned (wedding in Florida-whole family going- and our usual week at the Jersey Shore) and I have a knee issue that may require surgery. If we can make the shoot I didn’t want to miss out because we hadn’t reserved the room/cottage at the place you all are staying.
I totally get that (staying at the same place is much more fun). I’ve been wanting to do this since you and Eaker told me about it 8 or so years ago but this is the first year it’s at least possible (the date). The youngest graduates this June and will be settled in at college (her first choice, early action acceptance) by October and no more sports/tournaments filling up every weekend, lol. If I don’t have to take time off for surgery and husband can take vacation days we can make it.
Only two rooms left ping. Rooms #6 & #8 ~ come on folks, lets fill this place up with FReepers.
Definitely not!
I’m ahead of you there!
So tired of politics, let’s lighten up the mood ping!
Sounds good...
Well damn ..... I was gonna say vote for Eaker ....again !
I’m for that! I just get crabbier every day talking about it. LOL!
Show me the birth certificate!
OK

Davaroosk Pa’rooski neyt !
Here's some really, really fine "going to bed music," one of my all-time favorite songs (although I have many):
Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra's I'm Getting Sentimental Over You"
(Where else you gonna be "putin" it?)
See yall for breakfast!
(Or if you prefer...)
"Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей"
This is so much better than silly politicking ~ we have relaxing scenery, singing & dancing, learning foreign languages, pancakes and jello!
