KissI know some like to make plans early, so we are going to use Country Inn & Suites in Menona as our QJ motel. We will reserve meeting room as we have the past couple of years for Friday and Saturday evenings. We will plan our usual meet n greet beginning at 3 pm on Friday, and morphing into Pizza Friday evening. We will have our annual BBQ dinner on Saturday. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow QJERS and to plan or retell trip stories. Cool Maps are always welcome. If you haven’t been to one of our gatherings, they are the secret highlight of Copia.

To reserve a room, please call them directly at: (608) 221-0055
Request the ‘Canoecopia ‘ rate of $115 per room per night. Breakfast and WiFi are included, and breakfast is another great time to connect. Up to 4 persons can share a room, which makes this a great deal. It sure is nice to not have to drive somewhere to eat and meet. It’s all right here.  Cool

This thread can be used to connect if you want to share a room. I’m not a matchmaker,  Grin so I suggest PM or email once a connection is made. Cheesy

If you are planning to come to our annual Voyagers Rendezvous, please post your plans here. Cool

OS,

I am planning on being there and will book a room.  I plan on attending the Friday gathering, but will be meeting with friends from Ely for dinner Saturday and will join the group after dinner.  I'll try to scare up some Leinie's again.  Thanks for organizing this and I'm happy to help out if you need.

Last year at Copia was my first sit down with the group in the O.S. meeting room.  Very enjoyable time well spent.  I and at least one friend will be at the show again Friday evening and Saturday morning.  If the group Bull Session will be recurring again prior to the 4:00 PM show opening I would be happy to attend and donate to the food fund.

Kind Regards,

MossBack

FWIW I just made room reservation at Hampton In Madison West - $84/night - $192 all in.  I almost went to the Hilton downtown - as low as $119/night which is very low for this really nice property.  (I am in Madison a lot recently for business and am a loyal Hilton Honors member - thus the Hampton - its all about points! Smiley  )

I'm a solo guy even in hotel rooms as I'm a light sleeping introvert who snores.  You get the picture.  Anyway, I got $75 for a queen bed and comp breakfast at AmericInn not far from the convention for Sat. night only.

I  just registered at Rutabaga.  Kind of strange.  Big print $15.  Big print $2 off early registration.  Pull down and pick 3 days - "+$10.00" in  very tiny print - which I completely missed at first.  Equally tiny print $1 for Josh Kestelman Scholarship Fund,  (I'm not good at resisting charity requests - especially tiny ones.) I go to check out and its $24.  Took me a while.

Called and they said they know the software is confusing and all new is to be launched in a few days.  So now you can buy with old familiar but odd software or wait and risk being caught by new system  glitches.  Perils of the online purchasing world we now live in.

Some days I'd like to return to pencil and mylar drafting, first class mail, and long distance calls that cost money so people plan and organize before calling.
