JohnD1956 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) The Forum breakfast is usually held on the Friday of the meet. The location of the breakfast will be dependent on the time frame preference. But keep in mind that Fridays usually encompasses the BOD meeting in the AM, and the judges training in the PM.

jscheib Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 While not listed in the addendum of the Meet, as noted in the April Bugle, there is running of antique race cars at the historic Milwaukee Mile Race Track on Friday and Saturday. I plan to be there Friday afternoon, so my preference is Friday AM and hopefully we can get space at the host hotel, as I think breakfast is free for guests of that hotel, but I will have to check in my file. Can we work out something there and maybe som eone can ask the BOD to shift to 10 AM start?? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Mark, You can check their web site, but I think it is both, as long as the are Miller Offys. I think you know Steve Hammett of Buick Brass, but he is alsoon the Yahoo Forum of Racing History. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 ttt Breakfast and Happy Hour are neck and neck. If it makes any difference, there is a Hooters which appears to be not too far away. But honestly, if it's only going to be 6 people in either situation then with no real favorable time frame How about some cocktails in the hotel bar at 9 PM Friday evening? And is there interest in a flea market swap this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivgs Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was at the hotel a little over a week ago, Breakfast is NOT included with your room. In case that sways the decision one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 John, I suggest you keep it for Friday breakfast. Just ask the hotel if they have a corner for a group of about 12 who should be able to order off the menu or buffet if available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Wiegand Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hey Brian! IF Shaw and Schramm and Roberta get elected to the Board, this 'All Together Parking' fiasco will stop immediately if not sooner.

60FlatTop Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If all the oldest Buicks were parked together would you really want to have breakfast with the people whom couldn't find the group next to one of the cars? I think I would share little with one having that level of perception. "Excuse me, where is the forum group?" "Those 20 people standing by the red '04." "Oh, I would have thought I had to go to the blue "04 with no one standing by it." "Wait, I have a T shirt for you." Where's the shake your head emoticon?

jscheib Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Now all we need to set a definite day, or days, and time, or did I miss something (as I thought we were still trying to clarify).

JohnD1956 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Its Thursday evening after the General Membership Meeting John. I know breakfast is ahead in the poll but that does not take into account the physical limitations to finding an adequate place to have the breakfast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I called the hotel to see if a reservation could be made for the AACA Forum Group of 12 for Friday morning. They said no reservation was necessary for such a group ordeering off the menu. However, I left a message for the restaurant to call and confirm that a large table can be reserved for us. Stay tuned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well, I had hoped to avoid putting this on a public forum. But, in order to explain: Before I called the hotel (like Mark did), I happened to look at the hotel reviews online. They were not that great. Worse, the manager acknowledged the veracity of the poor reviews both online, and when I spoke to her directly. Therefore, I could not in good conscience book us for a breakfast at the hotel. Then I looked at Google maps for the area around the hotel and found a potential place for breakfast but it was a bit of a drive, and I need to be back for the 8 AM Board of Directors meeting. So I had to discount that place. Without further personal knowledge of the area, Roberta's plan sounded unique and do-able without too much interference with other Meet activities. I apologize to all for the confusion here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I never got a return call from the hotel restaurant.
