The hotel/camping prices listed are discounted for us. To get the prices, call the numbers listed and say that you are with the BMW UnRally. Be sure to specify the dates that you want – the BMW club of Oregon holds a rally there too, the Chief Joseph rally in mid-June.

 

The fairgrounds don’t take credit cards at this time; you’ll have to mail them a check. Still, the fairgrounds hold hundreds of tents for the other rally, so we’ll have plenty of space.

 

See the attachment for lodging specifics.

The paved roads are fantastic! The unpaved roads are fantastic!! I’m sure I’ll find some knobbies-only roads that will be equally fantastic!!!

 

Your entry fee will be precisely determined over the next few months but will not exceed $50. We will be setting up a website and will need all of you to register and prepay so the tee-shirts can be ordered and we can get a good head count for meals.

 

Who wants to come and play in John Day, Oregon?

 

IN for me!

I think this looks really good. Some minor suggestions for your consideration:

*Move the map linky up to just after the location announcement and reduce the map magnification to show the location of John Day relative to the Western US.

*Where you have "map linky" now, replace with "zoom in on the map and find the green tent."

*You might indicate what the entrance fee will cover and will not cover - allows you to re-emphasize that the fee does not cover camping (some rally entrance fees include camping). You are more experienced than me on whether this might be a possible misunderstanding.

 

These are not "hard" recommendations, just my thoughts. It looks good.

Your entry fee will be precisely determined over the next few months but will not exceed $50. This fee will cover the fun stuff: tee shirts, stickers, a dinner, a breakfast and a small amount for postage, photocopies and other administrative things. Your dedicated UnCommittee is made up from fun-loving, certifiable, unpaid volunteers! All lodging and most meal costs are up to you.

 

We will be setting up a website and will need all of you to register and prepay so the tee-shirts can be ordered and we can get a good head count for meals.

Good comments Rod. Anything else? (dunno why the miles listed don't line up like I want them too...)

I think the Posting software automatically deletes extra spaces. I don't know how to do it, but if you could paste in a table or picture of a table maybe that would retain the spacing? It looks fine the way it is. Go for it.

[Fasterpill]

Works for me, maybe one of the best ever - hey we can learn from History. I'm proud of this presentation.

 

Maybe we should present a little prize to the person who guessed John Day on that taunt post??

Looks Good! I like the addition of what the reg. fee will cover.

 

And Boffin, Steve Carter has already said "IN." We'll bring towels for your feet.
