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 . . .
Oh, no! Well, hope you’re planning on being there this year! I’ve never been to Lake Whitney, but everyone who made it to the recon trip seemed to like it!
I’ve got my cabin booked...I sure don’t want to have to bail at the last minute! Sheesh!
Question: do we pay the balance of our “rent” after we get there in October?
I know...took me a while to ask, but I thought I’d hear from them if it was earlier.
It’s less than 2 months now! WoooHooo!
My rusted out brain can’t even remember. I called and left them a message this morning, I’ll let y’all know what they say.
Thanks. Mine couldn’t either. LOL! Hope all is well at the Eaker house. :)
Bump!
Final payment is due on September 5th.
Could you please ping the TCMS list (which is one my home page) with this info?
For those staying at Cherokee Village, final payment is due September 5th.
Thanks for the reminder, Mom. I didn’t know that. I’ll be sure and get with them to pay.
I done paid the balance, so barring last minute health issues, I will be there with an assortment of guns and bunches of ammo to burn.
I know I’ve put this off till the last minute, but does everyone have a place to stay who needs one? We have an extra double bed.
Awesome!
And a message from wneighbor - I know I’ve put this off till the last minute, but does everyone have a place to stay who needs one? We have an extra double bed.
