Number one rule of business: When you hire a person that can't speak clear English, there are two jobs that you shouldn't have them work.....a Drive-thru at a restaurant....and a reservations desk at a hotel.
Does the host hotel know we are coming? How do we go about reserving rooms together to further enhance the trouble-making?

I have held 30 Oceanview Studios for $80.00 per night. Your group reservation number is 160089. Please post for the group. The reservation is listed under SC Fiero Club. When you get a chance will you send me your contact information? Thank you, have a good weekend.
Yu need this reservation number to get a room in the group.
Sound like fun, I wish I would be able to make it. That week I will be making my last cross country run with my company and hopefully moving back to GA and get my own authority to run.

I've tried to get a heads up as to who all is coming, but it's kinda hard to keep up with 5 forums when some of the same people post on here and another forum that they are coming, double posting. Then there's the one's that don't post and just show up.
My 88 got there yesterday, nice paint but he wore the rear tires off coming down. I'll have to lineup the rear end first thing.

If I counted right and didn't double count somebody then it looks like maybe 25 confirmed. Thats counting some that don't have access to computers but have called me.

When making reservations at the hotel you listed above do we need to call them to tell them we are with a specific group or do we just get a room online?

Ok we're going to implement a deadline to register for this event. The deadline to get your name on the list is April 30, 2009. There's also going to be a $10.00 registration fee to help cover the expenses of setting this up. There will be a room reserved with a registrations desk when you arrive at the Sea Mist Resort, you need to check in there and get your events agenda. It will have the times when we meet and where for each time slot. It will also have a short list of things to see while in town.
Make checks payable to SCFC. Address will follow shortly.
So do if I send the registration fee do I need to reserve a room separately? If so, can I call about room rates and choices? Gotta keep the wife happy you know

Very good location for families with small children as the Water Park, Castle in the Mist, Misty Falls Miniature Golf Course and Arcade are surrounding this building. The Sea Mist Resort has an underground walkway to safely cross Ocean Boulevard to go to the beach.
CANCELLATION POLICY From the time we receive your deposit until fourteen (14) days prior to your scheduled arrival, cancellation of your unit would incur a $25 service charge. Any cancellations made within fourteen (14) days from arrival will incur a full first night deposit.
HOSPITALITY UNIT We regret we do not have a room specifically designed for the purpose of a Hospitality Unit. However, if you choose to have a Hospitality Unit for your group in one of our hotel rooms they will only hold 10-15 people at a time. Please be aware the basic set-up for those rooms is 2 tables and 10-15 chairs. These units are best used on a flow-in, flow-out basis.
Memorial Day through Labor Day the cost of this room is the RACK (nightly) rate plus tax and a one-time set up fee. The cost during the remainder part of the year is negotiable but the set up fee still applies. The charge for taking the beds out and putting tables and chairs in is $40.00 plus prevailing State and Local taxes.
If this does not suit your group, you may want to consider having a Meet & Greet Function in our Convention Center located here on property. There is a Room Rental Fee attached to the use of meeting rooms.
CONVENTION CENTER We have spent many hours working on our new menu and are proud to present it to you. We feel it offers a wide variety of selections to titillate and tantalize the most discriminating of palates at rates that are hard to match. These menus were created with you in mind. Current prices for group plated dinners run from $23.00 - $32.00 and dinner buffets run from $21.00 - $28.00. For the mid-day meal, soup and sandwich wraps range from $15.00 - $19.00, while plated menus start at $19.00 and go up. Luncheon buffets are $15.00 - $23.00.
Breakfast is a favorite for most of our groups and our Food & Beverage Director has created mouth- watering menus to start your days off with the smell of fresh brewed coffee and your choice of continental favorites or plated meals from $15.00 - $17.00 or buffets from $10.00 - $15.00. Our lunch and dinner plated selections are all three course meals and all buffets require a minimum of 30 guests. A private banquet hall, servers assigned specifically to your group and the freshest of food and beverage are your best reasons for booking your food functions with us. Gratuities and prevailing taxes are not included in these prices.
Should you have a small group of attendees, i.e., less than 30 guests, please inquire about having your group dinner at our newest concept, Three Steps Down Grille and Tavern. Our Group Sales staff would be happy to assist your with your arrangements there as well. Though you would no longer have a private banquet hall and servers assigned specifically to your group you would have the convenience of not having to leave the property for your group dinner as well as the bonus of live entertainment. Please be aware however, that Three Steps Down is not open during certain times of the year.
We also offer our groups a special discounted breakfast ticket for $8.50 inclusive for our all you can eat, country style breakfast buffet at Tena’s Restaurant. In order to obtain the breakfast tickets, you would need to make prior arrangements with the Group Sales Manager that is in charge of your group. We require a $250.00 deposit on all food and beverage functions within 60 days of your booking date.
We have enclosed one of our new menus, however do not hesitate to discuss with your Sales Representative other options available to you should you want us to customize a menu to meet your group’s specific needs and budget. Our goal is to offer you the best possible experience at the best possible price available to you.
We at the Sea Mist are eager to serve your group and will strive to make your stay here the best ever.
Sincerely,
LeAnne McCulloch
Group Sales Manager

This is the route we're taking if anyone wants to join us let me know. The reason we're going this route is to pick up some of the GFC members. http://www.mapquest.com/mq/6-7rSANS6_9quq
This time next week it'll be all over with except for the memories and the drive home. Are you going to have your name and your car in the books as making it to the first South Eastern Fiero Club Gathering? We'll do this every year and hopefully it'll continue getting bigger and bigger. But each year we'll move it to a different host state, so sometime in the future you won't have to drive as far. But you will have to host this event.
