2015 GMMG Gathering @ Camaro Nationals is a GO!

[daytonajim]

Hi guys:



Seeing as I’m flying in & renting a car on June 25th I really could use some local help before I arrive.



If you have anything to bring & set up it is appreciated.



Your ideas please................. This will be the first attempt by the GMMG Registry & I know we will learn a lot for future events.



10x10 Tent to keep sun off - Ben - SS85



Chairs - Ben SS85



Water & cooler



GMMG large sign or banner? -



Frank said he would being his Berger Banner. OK, Frank?



Rope or bungees to secure things.



Bring anything GMMG related including Sign Boards for your cars.



I could use a hand throughout the event at the table registering, counting votes & manning the table.



GMMG’s will be able to park together. Not sure where – we will know when we arrive.



Please let me know if you can bring anything to help out.



I will be handing out our own little GMMG Registration envelope, misc. information, ballot to vote for your Top 5 GMMG’s & maybe a dash plaques.



I will bring along a few GMMG shirts, hats, license plates, GMMG Window Stickers but will be limited for baggage on the plane.



I’m working on a TOP 5 Plaque for the TOP 5 GMMG’s voted on by the owners.



When does everyone think we should hand out our own awards?



Ballots in Saturday noon & do awards around 1 or 2???



I will also have a few GMMG Registry announcements. Hopefully we can have Bud, Scott Settlemire & Matt Berger around for this about 2 or 2:30 Friday???



If you can provide anything or help with something, please let me know. This is hard to do 1200 miles away.



Please give some thought for future GMMG Gatherings – maybe a yearly event? @ Berger Show ? – Chicago Muscle Car Show around Thanksgiving? – Power Tour? Where else?

Please pass along & share – we need more GMMG’s (only about 14 so far)



Thanks

I will bring a THR banner for you and you can just keep it for future events. I will have some THR shirts at that show also. I will bring my 2002 THR convert to the show. I will have a tent set up and a place to hang out and get out of the sun or rain if need be, and everyone is welcome.



Thanks so much Tom. Things are coming together & everyone's help is appreciated. This is a group effort & way too big for me to do alone.

My brother and I will both be there(25 & 85) if you want to send stuff in advance via ups you are welcome to send it to my address so you will not have to check it on the plane. If needed I can bring a few tables and chairs and a 10x10 canopy. Just let me know. I can also send back anything you need after the event via ups. Feel free to call any time if you need to get something worked out here in Maryland (301) 752 8667



Thanks Ben. I'm so happy I sold SS 85 back to Ben. He's the original owner.

Hi everyone:



The GMMG Gathering is getting close.



Please share this with anyone that you know is attending...... I don’t have e-mails for Larry Christensen, Steve Blumfelder, Rick George, Paul Seisler.......please pass along or send me their e-mails.



Vince is working with Bud @ the Nationals to rent a building so the GMMG's can be inside.



He has committed to it & is looking for others that want their GMMG's inside.



Please contact Vince as soon as possible as space is limited to maybe 20 cars.



The building will cost Vince $700.



Cost will be about $30 to $50 per car depending on the number of cars.



This is well worth it in my mind.........you never know about the weather............ Inside the building - out of the heat, sun, weather & can be locked down at night.



Any GMMG’s not in the building will be parked outside & close by.



Contact Vince or Sally direct.....................

In addition to the Camaro Nationals Awards the Registry will have our own little show within a show. Top 5 GMMG plaques, owners will get to vote, small participant dash plaques & other odds & ends.



GMMG Awards & announcements will be Saturday @ 1 p.m.



Contact me if you have any questions.



See everyone soon. This will be fun for everyone & I’m looking forward to meeting owners in person. Please pass the word to other GMMG owners. We need more cars.



If you have any connections to get this published please go for it.



Thanks

Hi Scott:



Thanks for working with Bud & setting this up.



Things are coming together nicely.



Will you be there? June 26 & 27.



I’m arriving Thursday afternoon & staying @ the Holiday Inn Conf. Center. A few of us will attend the Friday evening dinner.



The GMMG Registry is having a ‘show within a show’ with TOP 5 & small dash plaques.



JD’s DH #30 will be on the TOP 5 plaque as a memorial to him.



We will give out awards & have some announcements Saturday @ 1 p.m.



If you are there would you share a few words of wisdom with everyone?



I will also ask Tom Henry & Berger (Dick or Matt)
