Remember to call the Crown ASAP to reserve the night or nights you want. Fall foliage season will fill the hotel. I will keep the block expanding as much as possible. So far we will all stay on the same floor.

We will now get our group rates at the attractions. A couple bucks here and there add up.

Remember to make your reservations at the Crown under "SSR FANATICS".
This will save you $65 per night (rooms are normaly $200/night).

[WILDBILLandRED]

Wow,.. It got real quiet up here in the northeast.. No one has anything to say for the past couple days ...lol

Guess I had to break the silence.

[CQQL_SSR]

There will be more when it gets closer.
We can talk it up at the next Meet & Greet.
We need something local that we don't have to drive 2 days to get to.

[WILDBILLandRED]

I figured this thread would pick up as time creeped closer...
Im just surprised ALL the North east topics dropped off.
Seemed there lots of conversations in the other subjects.

Hijacker

Start your own thread.

[WILDBILLandRED]

LoL … ? Hijacker? …LOL

Hi John, and welcome to the Berkshire Tour,

What I think CQQL is trying to say in a diplomatic way is….

“Its nice to have you join this thread, but if you would like more attention to your event, you should start a specific thread. Then the conversation can focus on your intent and not get lost in another topic”.

See you on the road

Wild Bill
