Is there going to be a Camp MJMW 2011?

[Fred]

I was wondering if anyone (or ones) are going to step up and take the reigns to Coordinate Camp MJMW 2011. I was talking to Larry yestarday about the whole bumper feiasco and I thought about it and have decided I will not try this again. I did 95% of planning organizing and executing for last year and we still have open ties from it.

I was considering doing it again and moving into KY or TN (because thats where I am) but I just don't want to go through all that crap again.

I understand that I'm relatively new to MJ, but I would definitely be willing to coordinate this event, or possibly assist someone in doing so.

Rock on brother.
First and formost you need a venue, someone who will offer something to MJ as well as us offering them buisness. We were in SMORR last year and MJ has a pretty good repour with Brandon. But with Camp MJ East in VA this year a further westward venue may be in order.

Secondly you need to work trail guides. Last year since we had guys who know SMORR we led our own group and that would remain the best solution

Third you need to consider Sponsors. With Camp MJ East, Camp MJ Rocky Mountain, and Camp MJ Mid West this needs to be a coordinated effort so to not hit one vendor three times.

well the list goes on and on. Best thing to do is pony off the Model on the East event planning page and get lots of help and DO NOT try to do it all yourself, one you get burned out fast, two you don't get the full Camp MJ experiance, three you should just not have to do it all alone.

PM me with specific questions and I will tell you what I did for last years event, I am no expert but in the end it all came together and Camp MJ MW weekend I let the animal Camp MJ became loose to flow along its designated route and I got drunk Thurs night and sobored up Sunday Morn.

True Story. You should do it again Fred, you did a great job Even tho you left me sleeping at the gate after our midnight run . . . LOL

bawaahahaha that was freakin funny (at the gate)

[Fred]

well see. If I do it, it will be CampMJ TN and I will get the Ft Campbell Chapter to set it up. We, the Ft Campbell Chapter, are already in theinfant stages of setting up a S&S/ REAL JEEP Challenge to get our nameout into the community, at least the jeeping community

OK guys after some discussion with a few members last night We are think (and this is preliminary) about camp MJMW 2011 in June at SMORR again. BEfore I commit myself to this I will start off by saying I will NOT do this alone, in fact I will be a hub and over all coordinator for several others who WILL do the work. On my staff I will need
1. a liason between us and SMORR. You will also set up trails and trail guides with me
2. at least two guys to contact prosective sponsors
3. someone to handle food/drink menu
4. someone to handle shirts/stickers

we will discuss this all but I think we need to do a registration fee this year, it will be paid in advance. It can include but not limited to, 1 shirt, 1 sticker, park admission for the weekend, and dinner for Sat night

anyway this is all prliminary and NOT set in stone, in fact its not even set in pudding so don't start taking days off work. PM me if your willing to volunteer, for what, and can you actually do it.
