Jack Welch 190 Posted September 5, 2018 The BCA President usually gets his / her room reserved by the host Chapter. I know as Head judge for Denver and this year as a BOD member, I had to make my own reservations. I know when I ran the two Danvers Meet, we blocked rooms for BOD members, but it was up to them to make their own reservations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TxBuicks 258 Posted September 5, 2018 Meers is closer to Lawton, Oklahoma, which is not that close to Midwest City. My father is from Lawton and we used to go there quite a bit, but I haven't been there in several years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buicknutty 1,339 Posted November 21, 2018 I have had my room booked for '19 a while now, and am planning to send my registration, but the info about the Rt 66 tour is conflicting. Some places it says Wed, other it says Fri. The BCA website has this conflicting info, as well as the form on the forum here, and the one on the back of the Bugle. I don't have a new issue of the Bugle, as we are in the midst of a Postal service dispute, and mail, though flowing, is way, waaay, behind. Could someone PLEASE clarify this?

Pete Phillips 1,304 Posted November 23, 2018 Yes, we had to change the day of the Rte. 66 driving tour from Wed. to Friday due to the star attraction being closed on Wednesdays; and the star attraction of the Guthrie, Oklahoma tour being closed on Fridays, so it all worked out. We just swapped days. Older issues of the Bugle are outdated on the registration form. Pete 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Phillips 1,304 Posted December 8, 2018 This will be the show field on Saturday morning when the judging takes place. Approx. 500 parking spaces; we might use it for trailer parking, too. Is about two blocks from all of the hotels--walkable or there will also be shuttle vans. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Phillips 1,304 Posted December 25, 2018 The outdoor swap meet will be held inside the hotel's parking garage, with approximately 70 ten by twenty ft. spaces, so vendors will have some protection if it rains. There are also indoor swap spaces, all located in one very large room at the convention center. The outdoor swap spaces do have a height limit, though, due to the parking garage's roof--7.5 feet, if I remember correctly. Those needing greater height will have to be located in the adjacent parking lot with no roof. Here's the layout inside the parking garage. We will use this sheet to assign spaces as registrations come in. Vendors should be able to drive up to their space(s) and unload.

Pete; The Oklahoma City area was never on my radar as a place to go. I have t tell you, I am totally psyched about going to this years meet. The cars and the people are the draw to a National , but This year with so many "Extras" included will make this a memorable Meet. As they say, "Be there or Be square". 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to it too @Jack Welch. The area plus Pete's planned activities should draw a crowd, plus it's so centrally located and all. Looking for a good scenic route for the estate wagon and Argosy to travel, possibly US 82. Look forward to seeing everyone!!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Bruce aka First Born 2,355 Posted December 29, 2018 Another rout might be US 64. Brings one into Oklahoma aways before turning No to Tulsa. Looking forward to seeing you and Miss Rita. Ben 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
