With the increasing popularity of Copia,  it is becoming more necessary to secure lodging if we want to have it as our QJ group.

We anticipate following a similar pattern as in the past couple of years, in booking a meeting room in a motel and having dinners on Friday and Saturday nights. This is NOT a dinner count thread. We're glad if you're planning on it, and we will eat. We always do. ;D 8-) Copia is March 9-11, 2018 and can be found at:   (You need to Login or Register;  8-)

MuleLars may chime in on this as he is doing some research as one of our many QJ locals in Madison. We accept input from other QJers as well. We want to know your opinion.

Option 1) Continue as we have at Country Inn & Suites at 400 River Place in Menona. Last years rate was $115 per night. I think we can get that rate again.

Option 2) Move to Days Inn & Suites at 4402 E Broadway, slightly farther away. Similar amenities to above, including breakfast. Approx $85-90 per night.

Option 3) Something else???

Another thing we are working on is trying to get free or a reduced rate on meeting room use for both Friday and Saturday nights. We may need to book a minimum number of rooms to make this happen. Are you willing to support this by agreeing to book at the 'QJ' motel? If so, please indicate. Results are non-binding, but helps us to put this great event together. Feel free to post regarding your past experiences telling us what you like or don't like about how this event is put together. 8-) Each year, we have seen more and more QJers come to The Rendezvous. 8-)
