2010 Subsim Meet: New London Base HQ

Onkel Neal · 03-13-10, 03:27 PM

One thing that made the Copenhagen meeting the best yet, was having an official base. We stayed at the Cabinn Inn hotel, it allowed us to bunk up like sailors and save tons of $$. We also were able to hang out in the morning and evening without lots of driving to meet up.

For New London, here is what I am proposing: I found a lodge that has 18 cabins in a park-style setting. They have (or will set up for us) wireless access. I will see if I can get someone to scout the site for us. As long as you do not require 4 star luxury accomodations or a cookie-cutter budget motel type of lodging, this should be pretty cool. Like camping. We can split the costs of cabins and that should bring our stay to less than $75 a night, maybe as low as $40.

If you are ok with this, post here.

Once we accept this or not, I will get more info and see if August or Daryl can swing by and look the place over.

When it is time to make the group reservation, say in April, I will need a fairly reliable number of attendess to to get a group discount. So, I will ask each person for a deposit of $50. As long as you attend, you get your $50 back. If you show up and did not make the deposit, you can stay in the lodging a.) as long as they have spare room and b.) at the normal rate, not the group discount.

As far as getting your deposit back if you decide not to come, Ia am fine with that as long as you give plenty of notice and your no show does not cost the group anything or distress the lodge. Hey, we all know how deposits work, right?

Thanks!
