I'll be in Virginia visiting the folks (They live on Chincoteague, so I was really excited when someone recommended Assageague). I live in Oklahoma and would love to attend some of it (When I can sneak away) if it is at the right time. Even if I can't attend, it sounds like you all will have a wonderful time.
Where were you like 3 months ago? lol Everything is set in... well plaster, not firm in stone, but plaster's rather hard. If a hurricane or zombies comes up I think we would cancel. lol
Well look me up when your in town and I will see if I can spare a day.

Update 6/2

Update 6/2
Hotel Booking info has been sent out.
We still have workshop space, but you will have to find your own hotel as the confirmed members got the last of them!

Workshop cost:
Full 3 (2.5 really) days $125 before, $150 on site (Includes M&G food on Fri. Workshop giveaways, t-shirt, dinner sat. and 16x20 print)
Saturday Only with Dinner and t-shirt $75
Sat only, w/ t-shirt No dinner $40
Dinner only (for spouses) $40


Tentative schedule will be...
Friday We can shoot around the refuge/sunset etc. I will figure a good place. We will do a M&G again, We will probably have a Pizza Party!
Saturday Sunrise! for anyone interested... I have never shot sunrise in the reserve so I can’t say around there, but their are many places we can find water to shoot over
Breakfast (at hotel) Fig around 7am-ish (depends on sunrise, again I fig someplace close) than after breakfast off to the refuge for a day of shooting etc. (we can head into one of the towns to shoot for a bit mid-day too if you like) After I am trying to find a place for a group meal, than another slide-show of the days works back at the hotel
Sunday Sunrise??? Breakfast, checkout than off to OC for a day at the beach, dinner? (Dutch treat at the beach) than home

Thanks for checking in here. Mel is our other lady that will be going and I am sure she is happy to see another girl on at the gathering. I am excited to meet another member!

Again the gathering is open to all and we still have space. The "Official" hotel is full, but there are others around.

The official hotel may be full but I'm sure there are those that would be willing to go halvsies on a room so if lack of hotel reservation is keeping you away ask here and probably someone will take you in.

Actually Mel, she lives only an hour away! That was a general statement as you will be happy to not be the only female on the trip
