To All:
I know that this is being discussed over the phone, via email, Facebook, etc. amongst a lot of Unique people. So, it’s time to pull it all together into one place so we can get on the same page.
The Lowdown:
An “official” Unique Motorcars Homecoming this year is a no-go. Mom confirmed with Maurice this morning. Times are tough, and the fact is that Homecoming takes a large amount of planning and investment by the Weavers.
The Proposal:
We do Homecoming ourselves. Give the Weavers a chance to relax and have fun at a Unique event that they don't have to worry about pulling off. I’ve heard rumblings from Texas to Connecticut about how we want to get together. So, let’s just go on and do it.
The Essential Details:
We’ve most all been to Homecoming at least a time or two, so we’ll stick with the usual format. There will be a few things we’ll have to wing it on. Here goes.
• Where – Gadsden, Alabama, with home base to be the Hampton Inn. (256)-546-2337
• When – May 10 – 12. These are the typical Homecoming dates, so we’re sticking with them.
Rough schedule
Thursday night – supper at Top o’ the River. (As the date gets closer, we WILL need to get an accurate headcount so the restaurant is prepared.)
Friday daytime – to be determined. The fact is that the shop is chiefly filled with restoration work these days, not Cobras. If the Weavers choose to let us drop in at the shop for the usual show & shine time, that’s great. However… if they do so, plan to be self-sufficient. Bring a cooler with water & soft drinks for yourself & your significant other. Plan to do lunch on your own. In other words, don’t impose.
If they choose not to host a show & shine at the shop – not a problem. We’ll know beforehand and can figure out something to do. We can show off our cars in another spot, go on a cruise, go on a non-Cobra field trip, or ??? This is a creative bunch. If nothing else, Jan Tucker can give us bellydancing/zoomba/Mexican hat dance lessons!!!
Friday evening – supper plans up to you. Hangout in the Hampton parking lot afterwards.
Saturday daytime – to be determined, but a cruise of some variety.
Saturday evening – supper together somewhere (I know the venue has changed several times in the past). We’ll just need to get a headcount first thing Friday and let the restaurant know.
So, there you have it. Travel arrangements, hotel reservations, food, drink, etc. are your responsibilities. No tee shirts, no trophies, and no door prizes. Just 2 ½ days of good fellowship with the Unique family.
Feel free to cross-post this on Facebook, or email to any Unique friends you think may not check this forum regularly.
We'll work on getting counts for restaurant closer to the date.
Hope to see you there!!!
