Ok, here's the deal. April 16 - 18th are out at BMRA. They already have that date contracted out for a closed park event (even though it's not on the calendar... last i checked). Acutally they have closed park events from Jan - April 2010.

They will not book a close park event Memorial Day weekend. That leaves.....


The New Date for TSJM is May 21 - 23

The cost will be $100.00 per rig.

This includes:
- Entry into the park Friday - Sunday for 1 rig - unlimited passengers
- camping for the weekend
- 2 extra port-o-potties at the campground closest to the pavillion (park only provides 1 per camp ground)
- 2 t-shirts
- 2 BBQ plates

This will be a closed park even, so Jeep Nation controls the gate.

extra t-shirts = $10.00 each
extra BBQ plates = $8.00 each


Here's where we need your help. We need at least 10 people to prepay to book the park.
We already have 3 from the executive board (me, Renee, & Jon). so we need 7 more.
Anyone interest can pm me or Renee. We need to lock in this date ASAP before anyone else does.

before I commit 100 bux..I want more details, such as http://www.myjeepforum.net/official-texas-size-jeep-meet-f36/2010-tsjm-details-t2606.htm

I'll prepay, just tell me what to do

$100...? kind of a big jump from last year. The whole reason we started this thing was to be an economical alternative to Jeep Jamboree.

The price is actually not bad compared to last year.
This price includes 2 free T-shirts and food for two.

Which makes it about the same price as last year.

As of today it is a 160 days until May 21st.
If you put a $1 per day away it will pay for itself.
Which is the same as skipping on two starbucks coffee per week.

What is key is that we can have the park to ourself, and that makes it worth it.
Quit whining and get with the program you cheap MF's.

i am in.. tell me where to pay.

I've got an idea Sasha, You put $.50 a day away for my entry and I'll come up with the $20, that would be even better. And I'll still air everyone's tires up!

I'm in tell me what I have to do.

I will check the dates at work on Monday..... hopefully I will be able to work it out. BMRA is my favorite place!

I'm in. Just tell me where to send the $$$.

maybe $80 for a Jeep with 1 plate and 1 shirt? just an idea....

The only problem I see is: it being the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. Some will have to choose between wheeling on a 2 day weekend or a 4 day weekend. Yes, I agree there should be a package with out the t-shirts and meal. Too many single people on here who wont use the extra meal ticket. But No 100 bucks is not too bad....but can be spendy if you have a trip planned for the next weekend. I know it's gonna be tight for us. MOROC event one weekend, TSJM the next and Memorial Day ride the next. Wow 3 wheelin trips in 3 weeks. I better start saving $$$ now!



Note: YES, Jamboree is more expensive but you can not compare apples to oranges.
Here is something I copied from their web site
Sponsors

Thanks to our dedicated sponsors who donated over $250,000 in products last year for giveaways and prizes!
Many lucky Jeep Jamboree USA participants walked away with new products for their Jeeps.

We had what maybe $1000 in donations last year?

EVERYONE walks away with a door prize, they gave out about 10 winches last year I think, they had bumpers, lifts, gears and the list goes on. So you pretty much know going into it that your gonna come home with at least 350 bucks in prizes.

You mentioned the two issues I have with it. The date is really hard for me to attend. Mother's day, Memorial Day and this wheeling trip would make 3 travel trips for us. The option for the 2nd set of BBQ plate/t-shirt would be a good idea IMO. Don't get me wrong, I am still going to try and go but it is looking pretty bad for me mostly because of the date. When would the last chance to pay and get in be? at the gate or X weeks before the date?

to pay $350 more to come home with $350 in giveaways doesn't make sense to me. although, if jamboree was cheaper, it would sell out faster. the attendence is always sold out or near sold out. in the end, i am sure it is there to make some money for someone...

well almost everyone left with 350 in prizes! But some came home with 2000 in prizes plus you get to wheel Inks ranch which you never get to do any other time!

Like I said Apples to Oranges! Just can't compare the two!

ok here is the flyer http://www.texassizejeepmeet.com/flyer.htm

it says
The cost will be $100.00 per rig
This includes:
Entry into the park Friday - Sunday for 1 rig
unlimited passengers
camping for the weekend
2 T-shirts
2 BBQ plates

OR

The cost will be $80.00 per rig
This includes:
Entry into the park Friday - Sunday for 1 rig
unlimited passengers
camping for the weekend
1 T-shirt
1 Dinner Plate


and extra t-shirts = $10.00 each
extra BBQ plates = $8.00 each

so if I go with the $80 option and get a extra t shirt and bbq plate it will be $2 cheaper than the $100 entry

[size=18]
Ok and you should only have one logo for the t-shirts, most companies will charge more for having two logos. If you order 50 of one logo and 50 of the othe, they might want to charge more to make the t-shirts where if you order 100 of the same logo it will cost a lower price…..
