OGTA Lakehouse Meet 2017 - that's number 8! June 24th-25th 2017
 

It's that time of year again, kids. Come on out to the Rotary Lakehouse (patent pending) on Lake Hartwell, along the GA/SC border on I-85. Come for the beer, stay because your car might not start!

We'll get things started around 10 or 11, so we'll have time to get folks parked, play on the lake and get ready for lunch (usually around 2). You are encouraged to stay over Saturday night if you've been drinking. Ask around. There SERIOUSLY is room to sleep well over a dozen folks. If you're driving a long way and want to join us early on Friday, that's fine. Shoot me a message.

Directions are HERE. Don't trust some lame-o to get you there without getting lost.

We've learned a few things over the years, so there are a couple of guidelines. Who doesn't love rules, am I right ?!?!
1 - all beer is communal. Don't let this keep you from bringing the good stuff!
2 - no politics, please.
3 - you should sign up for a dish or supplies of some kind. We won't turn you away, but come on, let's be cool about this.
4 - please do what you can to limit the cooking mess. We don't have a ton of extra pyrex, just one oven, etc. Pre-baking is encouraged.
5 - if you're sleeping over, please bring a blanket and pillow / sleeping bag. We have 3 extra sets of beds plus other couches and things, but I can't guarantee that YOU will get one.

We're also sponsoring a compression test weekend. Highest NA compression and lowest turbo compression take home some form of bragging rights. For turbo cars, your car must start and leave under its own power to qualify.

Address is 511 Harbor Point, Hartwell GA. Shoot me a message if you have any questions

Please post up here in the thread if you can come, and what you can bring. We'll keep reposting it and keep the list running.

Zach - NOT Deviled Eggs but maybe I'll just buy them and say I made them... :) and BEER! and cornhole (game)

I'll be there. I'm thinking of bringing a smoked salmon orzo salad and some meat to grill. Probably lots of other things too. I'll figure it out and post again.

Erin and I will bring mac n cheese

You are designated food organizer. Set up the list like you did in the past?

Jeremy? Kristy?

Ok, I'm bringing the smoked salmon salad, and I still haven't decided on the meat, I'll buns for whatever I decide. Shall I make the Bourbon Slush again? I'll get some chips, or tortilla chips too.

Zach, just bring whatever you want to share. I can't take charge of this, we've done ok in the past with everyone chipping in and seeing what is needed. So far, who is showing up?
Crit/Dena
Tommy/Erin
Holly
Zach

Is Brett and Tara coming?
Jeremy?
Alex/Stephanie?

Im in too.

"Aint no party like an Iqbal party!"

Crit, have you had any updates on who is going to show up next weekend?

I'm bringing:
Smoked Salmon Orzo Pasta Salad
Meat to grill with buns
Cole Slaw
Baked Bean Quintet with ground pork
2 large bags of chips (tortilla or chips)
cooler with ice and various alcohol drink & water
still not decided on the Bourbon Slush.
Blow up floating tube, towel, etc.

Can't wait to see all you rotorheads at the lake.

I don't have any updates beyond what's here in the thread. I'd like to invite Mazmart Paul up too, but travelling for a few days. Bonus points for anyone that can get Stu to show up

Holly
Zac
Jeremy
Tommy & Erin
Cameron

Still hope to hear from Paul, Erica, Alex and Steph, Billy

Any word on a caravan? I'll still meet up and bring up the rear in my boinger

I've got to pull the plug on the lakehouse. With only a handful of folks that can make it, with MBA work getting me behind, there's just too much going on. Plus the tiff with Ray takes the fun out of it for me. If a better weekend later in the summer works, we can definitely reschedule.

All good Crit. Thanks for the invitation
