Jeff,
Which hotel are you staying at? Same one as Tony?

[QUOTE=Don Carter;10062209]Last year we had a great turnout (about 10 cars) and discovered some new parking and eating options, so let’s stick with what worked and meet on Sunday evening, Dec 30.

We’ve met in the mall parking lot for the last 4 years, but it was too crowded last year so let’s meet at the pay lot where we ended up last year, just south of the river at about 4pm. Park along the back row. We’ll hang out for an hour or so, then make the short walk to Baker Street Pub for dinner/drinks.

We’ve got several new faces in the group, including Shawn from the Woodlands who will hopefully bring his newly turbo charged 86. I’ll be bringing my 86.5 to show off its new top end refresh and powercoating.

Please let me know if you are going to try to make it so I can setup a reservation.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Don - We will be there

Herman, glad you and Barb can make it.

Not sure when the out of towners are coming in and when they are heading back out, but if anyone wants to swing by Sunday afternoon or Monday, I'll be around the house. I'm about 30 minutes from the Woodlands, close to 290. (77429)

We have a reservation for 25 with the understanding we may need to add tables if more show up.

It's happy hour all evening, so should be a fun time!

Hey Don.
So glad to here the GTG is still going and growing. As a new owner, I still have fond memories of the first one you set up with my visit to the Woodlands. I still have quite alot of family there and will make it back soon.
Have a good one and take care!
