base count of those who are interested in group room rates

Kristie · January 13th, 2008, 23:59

Before we get to the nitty gritty of planning the functions for NJC 08, I'd like to get an idea of how many would be interested or are planning on booking under a group room rate (if i can find rates as good or better than last year).

I have a feeling i'm going to have to guarantee a certain number of rooms booked in order to get decent meeting space prices. So it'll help me plan if I know an approx number of those who are definitely going to take advantage of the group rate no matter where we end up.

Thanks!

Seggy · January 14th, 2008, 08:22

I'm down for a group rate room.

mastermags · January 14th, 2008, 11:53

I think I'm going to finally try and make it this year... I would def. be down.

tprops4me · January 14th, 2008, 13:42

oh hecks, no! some friends of ours are planning on making the trip.

H46Bubba · January 14th, 2008, 16:20

I'm in! The Monte was really good at getting the group rate room prices marked down as the regular prices were marked down.

OldTownPilot · January 14th, 2008, 16:34

I should have taken the group rate last year. Hindsight is always 20/20

I have no idea what my School/Work/Flying/life situation will be in October, but if it works out, I definitely want to be there. I'd split a room at the Monte this year.

Dazzler · January 14th, 2008, 18:52

The wife and I are in on the group thing...........

No, wait.......................

The group rate, yes that's it!

(Like I said before, I hope it's the Monte Carlo again!)

so, is that 3 rooms then or 2 rooms? hehehe I know you and Julie will be in one, otherwise i would have asked if it was 4 rooms just to be a smartazz...

bdhill1979 · January 14th, 2008, 21:34

1 room for me, that price was unbeatable.

two rooms. I got in trouble last time we shared a room.

btw, I might be losing mind, but I see three threads with the same info.

BobDDuck · January 15th, 2008, 01:01

Kristie with the TRIPLE POST!!!

Anyhow, put me down for one.

Man... he better not be waving at me that way. A guy like him waving at me like that makes me uncomfortable.

dvtpilot · January 15th, 2008, 12:43

I'd probably be down for a group rate room.

Unless Hooters beats all the rates again.

I'm in but I'd want to split a room with someone hopefully.

surreal1221 · January 15th, 2008, 23:17

Yes - interested.

You know that you have to look out for the quiet ones Max! The quieter they are the freakier they can be . . .

Aero_Engineer · January 16th, 2008, 20:27

I am coming for sure but don't know about the group rate. I don't know my schedule yet so i can't guarantee the days I'll be there.
If there are rooms left with the group rate when reserving time comes around then I will get one for myself.
