Hot Springs Driving Event August 25-27th

Who: MBclub members and invited guest
What: Hot Springs Driving event!
When: August 25th - 27th
Where: Hot Springs Arkansas
Home Base: The Arlignton Hotel in Downtown Hot Springs!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This event is open to anyone interested in going on a weekend trip! We started this out as an Audi event, that I merged with a Mercedes event, that will include a couple BMW's and maybe even a new XJ of sorts. So as you can see, this has grown into a nice sized event - So tell your friends ,last minute entries are welcome. I ask that they contact me to confirm their spot and/or help with planning.

I have left the plans flexible so that as many people can show up as possible. I want to provide several options of things to do , while still letting people do what they want to w/o feeling like they have to do what I listed.

If you have any ideas / suggestions, please post up, pm me, or drop me an e-mail!

ROOM INFORMATION: 20 " Maximum King " rooms have been booked for this event. These are the upgraded rooms from the "standard room " ( they were just too small ) - You may select another room if you like, but the below rates were negotiated for this event.

I expect that we will "sell out" as there are alot of people showing intrest on and off this site... so PLEASE - --- go book your room now!

Contact info:

Annette (800)626-9768 tell her you are with the MB club event August 25th-27th
I have the parking area reserved as well - so our cars will be inside a secure area!

Please contact me asap if you have any questions, but I would like to have everyone signed up for the room by Monday - Just call her and reserve your room, she'll need a c/c to hold it - but you can cancel at a later date if something comes up.
