erinw.rrc Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Cool. I'll bring my debit card for a spare, empty account I have and purchase a thousand or so raffle tickets. The transactions will all reject, but you won't know that until after I've collected all the prizes. on second thought...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Great, now we will have to drive to that one spot on the way to Top of the World, on that blind corner, where you get perfect cell service to buy tickets. GEEZ. That is going to be a mess of Rover traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoChef Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Chris, Let me know if I can help transport stuff to Area 5. I can probably stuff quite a bit into the Wann-09 (Custom license plate ordered fromDMV). I plan to arrive late friday nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Probably silly question, but I've never been to the annual and unfortunately not sure if I can make it this year yet too. How does the raffle work? We buy tickets? What do they cost? What does that money go towards? Do you have to attend to participate/win? Thanks Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Solis Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 No such thing as a silly question!! The raffle is pretty straight forward. You buy tickets for $5 each with a discount for a $100 spent ( I think it will be 25 tickets for $100) except the tickets for the roof top tent which are $20 each, 6 tickets for $100 deal. You have to be present to win (backstory is someone bought tickets remotely way back when and won a ton of stuff. People weren't too happy with that.) The money we raise goes towards club activities and operating costs. It helps off set costs of shirts, meals, etc on top of dues. Hope this helps and do what you can to try and make it!!

phobucket Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Kate, the kids and I are really looking forward to this. The kids and family track is going to be awesome – so make sure to bring the smaller versions of yourselves. As Chris and Tom threatened, on Friday night, there will be singing and campfire stories. Be afraid. Be very afraid. (Or just keep drinking until I sound good) The Saturday morning agenda features kid led courses on fun and easy to pack activities to keep the smaller family members entertained. Simon is particularly looking forward to teaching a course on rope work, and Ruben is gonna throw down with an origami tsunami. We’re looking for one or two more kid instructors, so if you have a young one or teenager interested in teaching anything from a nature course to carburetor repair please reach out to me directly. On Saturday afternoon, there will be a Kids Camel Trophy Challenge where mixed-age teams use the skills they learned in the morning to tackle obstacles in a Double Dare style race to glory. Time and energy permitting, we’ll throw in a scavenger hunt too J For the adults, we’ll have a round table discussion, From Camping to Glamping, where we share family travel/packing advice, recipes, and non-4x4 activities to make these trips fun and accessible for all. See you all there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astateofmike Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Why did you bring up the mask? I wasn't even there and I know about the mask. Actually its not the mask that is the issue, it is what happens when the mask goes on.... I'll be coming after soccer Sat afternoon. Kid is looking forward to riding a little shotgun after all these years and seeing the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
