2018 5th Annual CARMEL SUB FUN RUN

[dono]

Sam,
I understand your concern for vendor presence at our Fun Run, but our 2018 Fun Run date of August 11-12
is not going to change this year. In this thread, Chris Ruey explained the value of having a hotel group rate as compared to
paying double for a room rate. As far as raffle donations, please refer to the previous Carmel Fun Runs raffle page and note
the generous donations of the participants as well as the vendors. (Many of these vendors have never attended the past 4 Fun Runs.) Though a couple of the vendors may not be able to attend this year, it does not mean they cannot contribute to the raffle! Though the Carmel Fun Run has many raffle contributors, rarely do we have more than one or two vendors show up.

Jeff,
In answer to your concern that we did not notify the EC of our date change, we did notify one of the EC
members, right up front. We have never notified the whole EC of the date before, but the members of the Indy Admirals,
SucomOn, Subron 8 were all in on deciding the date. They are the ones that help us put on the fun run.

Moving forward, yes, changing the date up one week, we may loose vendor attendance and submariners, but at the same time, we may gain new vendor attendance as well as more submariners in attendance.

Got my room reserved, looking forward to it as always!

Don-
Thank you for addressing my question directly; it’s very much appreciated.

Sorry for the late response Sam, but I don’t get on the forum every day. Happy to clear this up.

Bob, Glad you can make it this year. Always good to see you.

The Hilton has confirmed our use of the hotel conference room for Saturday night from 6:30 to 8 for the purpose of having folks present Submarine related tech sessions. So far we have two folks signed up for short presentations. If anyone is interested, please pm me so we can put you on the list.

Has the registration started for this event or have I missed something? Always good to see numbers increasing right up to the Fun Run...

I am thinking of attending but the 2,700 miles from Seattle makes air travel a requirement. Do you recommend crating and shipping subs or put them in checked baggage? Other options?
Please feel free to move this if another thread is more appropriate.

I've check baggaged my boats twice. Once required a ton of repair and did not run my boat at the Regatta. The 2nd time was ok. Pack your WTC separate from the hull and pack radio in separate crate. I send my stuff to friends in Indiana now via UPS. No issues since.

Are the blocked rooms all gone already? Doesn't show any availability at the subcommittee rate.

[ccontrol]

Sorry, never mind. I adjusted the dates from Thursday check-in to Friday and it worked.
My concern is my flight from Seattle arrives possibly too late in the day Friday to get to UPS to pick-up my crated subs.
Is there a reliable place to ship-to and hold in the Carmel area?

[ccontrol]

OK, more questions. Trying to book flights but not sure what happens on which day and for how long. How late does the event run on Sunday and how early does it start on Saturday? Has everything to do with hotel, flight, UPS pickup and drop-off issues.

I can tell you that for a newbie to this event it could really use a Sticky-FAQ section!

[crueby]

We get the tables set up friday afternoon under the tent, some people stick around and play in the evening. Starts up after breakfast Saturday, goes all day, most go off for dinner, some come back in evening for more. There is power available to charge batteries so people are running all day, gather in afternoon for the raffles. Sunday same, though some have to leave for travel, forget what time we pack up the tables. Other than raffle times and group dinners, it pretty much open sailing both days.

Awesome, that's a big help, thank you!

Anybody have recommendations for hold for pickup locations for shipping subs? If I come in Friday I'll probably miss the UPS office hours.
Has anyone shipped models to the Hilton Garden Inn?
