[Capt'n Moorgone]

Count me in for a Burger or two! As of now, I'll be traveling solo. Trying to get Terri to go.

Mike

[danmas]

I'll be there.

Ted and Judy are also planning to be there.

[RMO 699F]

The Maloneys will never miss a cookout at Mickey and Janets place! See you there!

[rficalora]

Wish I could.  Some of us still work for a living .

Y'all have a blast.

[kstevusa]

Ok Rob; You, Ralph, Calvin and other westerners can get a BYE :-)   Mississippi River is Demarcation Line,  See you all there.

[Chris Lindh]

I am booked at the Inn, 5th - 8th.  The punch list on my '77 is long.  Engine is in and runs.  "This is crazy this is crazy this is crazy."

[RMO 699F]

Chris that Is good news on your coming and the progress on your car....just so you know...many participants at the show do not drive their brit hot rods...so ok to arrive in any ride of your choice..

[Mickey Richaud]

As posted above, cookout at our place in Townsend on Friday evening.

OK - here's who we have to date:

Kelly and Sandy
Carl
Robert and Dreama
Perky and Charles
Phil and Pam
Steve and Marcia
Paul and Mary
Jim B
Dan B (maybe)
Marilyn and Merv
Margaret and Steve
Rick and Jean
Mike Moor
Dan Masters
Ted and Judy
Mike and Kay
Chris Lindh - you're invited, of course!
Laurence and Casey

Looks like 30+, once all respond - GREAT!.  We're thinking hot dogs and burgers, with trimmings.  We'll have chips and cookies/brownies, as well as plenty of bottled water.  Since other beverage tastes are pretty varied, if you want anything other than water, please bring that with you.  We'll also have plenty of ice, if needed.  You'll probably want to bring folding chairs as well.  Though we have a long driveway, it will be helpful if some can carpool from the Talley Ho.

As for pricing, how about $8 each?  Any surplus will roll over to the Roadmaster fund.

Looking forward to it!

Mickey

How about Laurence and Casey. They plan to attend.  Got e-mail from Casey after she registered on the Brit V8 site, The Ole B is back:-)

[kstevusa]

SUGGESTION:  To eliminate Mickey having to making change, why not make the food donation even $10 Each or $20 per Couple?  Any overage funds could be donated to The Roadmaster Fund?  Party, not make change! He's not running a Bank:-)

[RMO 699F]

I would suggest that Mickey/Janet simply set up a jar or equivilent in the driveway and we can all drop our $10/20 into it upon arrival...

I like the way Mr.Mahoney thinks.

We could all mail Mickey a check in advance so he has no out-of-pocket expenses.

PM me if you're interested and I'll give you his mailing address.

[Mickey Richaud]

Thanks, guys.  We're comfortable with the honor system - whatever that looks like.  Just want to have a gathering here and enjoy the evening.

Janet and I just got home from an early dinner - 45th anniversary!  Mama bear and two cubs were in the driveway.  Don't think they'll bother us, though, with so many cars coming and going...  Didn't get a picture, but here's one from a few weeks ago - actually two of them.  One's just behind the firepit.



Just another day in the Smokies!

I think this was reported earlier, but just in case:  There will be a hillclimb held nearby on the weekend of our gathering.  If anyone's interested:  https://svra.com/events/2017-slaying-the-dragon-hill-climb/?utm_source=camp_mon&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wgty&utm_content=txt
