I spoke with the manager of the host hotel in Somerset and dates have been reserved for the 2017 MCG Gathering. Look to the last post in the 2016 Gathering thread for details. Jim
Never was a doubt in my mind that it would be a go, fantastic room rates and free cookies cant beat that.
thanks Jim, it's a go. thought I would move it here...We will be there the whole week (Mon-Sun)... mention the Mav/Comet group... I spoke with Kim, the manager of the Countryside Inn & Suites where the last Gathering in 2015 was held in Somerset this morning. She had been in contact with Tony Hahn a few days ago and has 30 rooms reserved for the Gathering to be held July 13-16th, 2017. 15 Kings and 15 Doubles. Room rate is $70.95, which is less than the 2015 rate. Way to go Tony ! Phone # for the hotel is (606)679-3711. I will be making my reservation as soon as someone confirms all is a go ! Jim
Ken, see if you can get Al to also go and caravan together up to the event. You will not be sorry ! Great road trip !! Be great to see you again. Jim
Earl, it is the high lite of our year to come to the Gathering and when your wife enjoys it too that says lots , we especially enjoy Kentucky not that we dont like other places as well it just sorta reminds us of home. I probably wouldnt be welcome with out the cheese (at least by some of the kids) and have some other food goodies planned to bring this year.
