2024 Annual Picnic RSVP May 18, 2024

[Mike Davis]

@Chaz, maybe you can find someone local to your area to rideshare with. I know it can make for a long day, but I've never regretted spending time with like minded folks. It's almost a 2-hr one-way trip for me.

It's traditionally been held at Jordan Lake, I don't recall any discussions of it being held elsewhere.

Early on we tried a few other locations, they just did not work out. And for a while there was a second annual picnic near Shelby, NC.
The lead man for that event retired from leadership and I'm not sure if anyone is carrying that on.
Bottom line, we found a place that is central to the majority of the membership and it is working well for the most people.
We have people from Virginia, SC, TN, most of NC every year. And one in Chicago who keeps promising to show up someday.

Last year we actually had someone come down from upstate New York for the picnic.

We have requested a sunny 75 degree day - PERFECT day for a NCWW picnic at the lake!

I will be there with one extra. We can bring some chips. We got about a 3-1/2 hr trip to get there for it.

Hello all, due to the fact that I am driving about 1500 miles (one-way) from New York State, would it be okay if I brought say rolls for the bbq? Kind of tough keeping a salad cool two days on the road or keep cookies from melting or crumbling. I suppose I could just buy something when I get to NC. Just let me know and I’ll bring whatever is needed. Bob Coant, Fulton, NY

@Chaz 3 hours and 50 minutes up to 5 hours depending on traffic for me EACH way...
I go EVERY year I can, it is literally that much fun!
Seeing everyone is worth it... watching me nearly destroy a raffle prize? PRICELESS!

I remember last year as the drawer slid out of the table.

 

[mpholway]

I definitely remember it as Hank tried to break my beautifully crafted book-matched walnut table custom built by danmart77 that I had just won in the raffle.

 

[FredP]

Yeah, that hank guy is kinda special that way.

It is May 1st. That means that the picnic is happening THIS MONTH. Make sure you get your RSVP in before May 11 so you can win a door prize and don't have to pay at the door.

Be sure to buy some raffle tickets.

What time of day is the picnic? The Bull City Woodshop will be there. Can we set up a table with flyers and information about the BCW?

 

[bowman]

Andrea, see post #5 about the time for the picnic. I see no issue with you seeing up a table. Please redoing in the poll for the number in your party so we can plan accordingly.

We are going to have plenty of tables available, depending on how much space you need, you might could share a table with something as well

I am sorry.... I am having a hard time locating post #5. Can you direct me?
