Any intel on the hotels yet?

 

[Cebu West]

Hotel info should be ready by the end of this week.

I'm working out details with a McIntosh Inn that is just 10 minutes from the camp. As soon as I have the details I will post the rates.

SAL

 

[Cebu West]

I have some good news on the room rates for the Camp. A McIntosh Inn that is close to the Camp has a weekend special rate for a Friday and Saturday combo.
It is $65 a night. For those coming early the rate for Thursday night is $89.
These rates include their continental breakfast and are for 2 double beds.

The REAL good news is that the McIntosh Inn is right next to a TGI Fridays, a John Harvard Brew House, Lone Star, Olive Garden and Red Lobster Restaurants. NO driving back to the hotel from the bar. Crawling is acceptable.

For those who want to get a jump on the rooms here is the number. 302-479-7900

The WMAA will have a special camp page with lots more details on line shortly.

I did some more negotiating with the McIntosh Inn and got the price down to $59 per night.
That includes Thursday as well, so long as you do the Friday/Saturday special.
I have 10 rooms held for Friday/Saturday and 5 for Thursday. You need to book the room by September 25th to get this rate. Use the group reference # 1500 or tell them the WMAA Camp. I will have all the camp info in a more organized fashion on the WMAA web site soon, but for now I wanted to get the hotel info out.

On the lighter side of what we'll be doing at the camp is Sumo wrestling. Did I say light?
After the banquet, those who wish to participate will don Sumo suits and try to knock their opponents out of the ring. And No sticks. Should be a blast.

Stick fighting Sumo? I could be on to something there.

SAL

 

[Black Tornado]

If its the sumo suits I'm thinking of, we could probably use just about any blunt weapon we want full contact and not worry about anyone getting hurt...

 

[Cebu West]

You are thinking of the right suits. They're big, so I guess no one gets the advantage. Should be lots of fun and some good photos for blackmail purposes.

The camp is approaching quickly and so are the dates for the discounts, so here is some info for those who wish to attend.

Cost for camp is $200.00 if registered by October 10th or $225.00 cash at the door.
WMAA member and group discounts are available.

Room rate of $59.00 per night when staying Friday and Saturday nights.
McIntosh Inn, Wilmington, DE 302-479-7900 mention group #1500
room rates are good until September 25th (rooms are limited)

Looking forward to seeing the gang.

I just received a call this weekend from my friend Datu Bong Jornales and he has informed me that he will be attending the camp. He is coming to show his support and to see many of his friends. I look foreword to his participation and the positive attitude that he brings to the Filipino Martial Arts. We will all gain from his presence and support.

SAL

 

[arnisador]

Mr. Jornales is really something--that's great!

 

[Black Tornado]

Any word on what time things will be kicking off on Friday/Shutting down on Sunday?

 

[Cebu West]

Registration on Friday is 11:00-12:30
Orientation 12:30-1:00

Camp ends on Sunday at 1:35

 

[Cebu West]

The camp time schedule is now posted on the WMAA camp info page.

Hmmm, Sal,

You have me teaching Sunday Morning at 9:30 AM. Do you know what this means? This means I cannot stay out all night. Oh well, I guess I will have to be good on Saturday night

It should be lots of fun!
:asian:

 

[Cebu West]

Ok, I guess you deserve a few perks for going first on Sunday. How's this?, We have a designated driver for Saturday night (even though the hotel is right next to several watering holes) and I buy the beers. Your session on Sunday can be titled "How to stick fight after a long night." We also get Tim to drive back to Buffalo while you sleep. Of course this is all contingent on you surviving the Sumo on Saturday night.
