Flying Flags RV Park Presidents Weekend 2/13-16/2009

[Chez Way]

UPDATE AS OF NOVEMBER 7th--changed to Newport Dunes (see new thread)
 
I'm planning a Flying Flags Rally on Presidents' Weekend 2009 and wanted to check for interest. If we have a total of 10 committed campers, we can get a discount off of the regular $52. per night rate for this weekend in the premium pull-through section. Otherwise, we can just make this a self-serve rally. Since they only reserve up to 100 days in advance, I won't be able to hold the spots until this Thursday. I won't know the exact fee until I speak to the group coordinator, Georgeanne. She has Tuesdays off so I'll post more after I speak to her.
 
UPDATE AS OF November 5, 2008 (this duplicates my post #34 below)
I just spoke to the group reservation specialist, Georgeanne. Unfortunately, the other "reservation specialists" are not up to speed on the price increase going on at Flying Flags effective January 2009.
 
So the bad news is that this rally is going to cost $$$ because they are upgrading the park and all areas are going to be designated as "Premium Plus". In addition, since Presidents Weekend is considered a holiday weekend, there is no 10% discount available for groups so we don't even need a 10 person minimum. So to sum it up, the cost for 3 nights is going to be $217.60 ($66 holiday rate plus 10% tax = $72.60 per night). FYI, the non-holiday group rate is $49.28 (includes tax).
 
Georgeanne is holding 14 sites in the first two rows (7 and 7) of the drive through purple section until Friday....let me know what you guys want to do.
 
I'm thinking that it would be simpler just to make this a self serve rally because there is no benefit as a group. The upside of self serve is that you can cancel up to three days prior instead of two weeks prior to get a refund.
 
I'm up for any other suggestions. Yikes!

My DW figured it out of course!

[SURFcampers]

Please count us in, it's been a long time since I could schedule anything.

Just a thought and I'm definitely thinking out loud here, buuuuuuut since it is Valentine's Day weekend, would anyone be interested in renewing their marriage vows as a group if a pastor would agree to come out to the cg?  There would probably be some small donation that we could split among the vow renewers.

I'm not trying to push religion on anyone, but Dave's and my church has a casual dinner and ceremony each year where the church members renew their vows, and we've missed it the last couple of years because we've been camping. I definitely want to go camping, but I really like renewing our vows too--kind of helps to keep things in perspective when life gets in the way of "marital bliss. "  I could ask our pastor if he has any pastoral connections in Ventura or maybe Brad and Mary would know someone local?
