Dgrr 2009 - q & a
 

Here are few Q&A about DGRR 2009


1. Can I buy extra T-shirts later? - Answer is YES! Please buy your additional shirts at registration. At the event, it will be limited in size and cost will be 50% more.

2. Does registration include a guest? - No, because we are providing lunch at a private facility and I have to know the specific number before the event, registration does not include a guest.

3. Is registration fee refundable?? - Answer is NO!! Only exception will be if Nantahala Village (NVNC) Burns down to the ground or place is iced up and for the safety of everyone we had to cancel the event.. Then, I will refund (minus the paypal fee).

4. What do we do about meals?? - Saturday April 18th, 2009 lunch is provided with registration. Other meals are on your own. However, we have worked out a deal with Nantahala Village to give 20% off of main entree to DGRR attendees. However reservation must be made as they might not be able to handle the number of people.

5. What happens if Nantahala Village is totally BOOKED? - Answer is, YOU will have to find your own lodging somewhere else... or try to stay with someone with large cabin/house. Most cabins hold 6+ people with separate bedrooms. I highly recommend registering early to get the deeper discount! This way you could maximize the saving!!

6. How far is the drive to the Dragon? - Answer is, 30-60mins away. Pending traffic and speed of travel.

7. What if I have to cancel at the last moment? - Answer is, If you sign up early, I'm sure someone will buy your spot at the discounted rate. There will always be someone who wants to attend at the last moment.. But as stated before, its non refundable. I will help as much as I can to help you.. but once the payment is made, its final!!

8. What if I want to stay at Nantahala longer or come in earlier? - Answer, Nantahala will extend the discount +/- 2 days. If you have problems with making a reservation, please talk to Kimberly at NVNC.

9. What if I just want to come check out the event? - Answer is, you are welcome to come and take a look at cars and such.. If you want to eat with the group, I will have to charge you $20-25 for either Lunch or Dinner. If you want a shirt, it will be $20-30 for a shirt. And if you want to stay at Nantahala, I'm sorry.. ONLY registered member could book the ROOM!!

10. Can I book a room at Nantahala Village without registering? - Answer is, NO! Even if you book it without the discount and somehow the receptionist book you, I will check their list with my list and your name does not show, we will contact you and apologize for the mistake and take you off the list!! I've reserved EVERY ROOMs, CABINs, HOUSEs at Nantahala and ONLY those register will be able to book!! If rooms available just before the event, Yes, you are welcome to book.. But at this point, I'm expecting that all the cabins and rooms will be fulfilled for the event as 2008 was completely booked!

11. Do the lodge serve alcohol? - Answer is YES! But you are welcome to bring Alcohol with you at your own discretion. I'm debating about if I'm going to let people drink at the Banquet hall or not. I will let you know later... But you are welcome to drink whatever at your own room/cabin/house.

12. Are we going to have a photoshoot? Yes, Friday afternoon, we are going to meet at the Fontana Dam for a photoshoot/get together.

13. Any vendors coming?? - Answer is.. I hope SO!! We are trying to get some top historical rotary figures this year. Unfortunately due to current economical crisis, we are expecting less vendors this year.

14. I'll be coming with non-rotary car, can I still be part of this event? - Answer is YES! Anyone interested in Rotary car's are welcome!! But you still need to register to eat and get the discount.

15. Can I sell my parts at the event?? - Answer is, If you pay transaction fee.. Just kidding! Of course! Its a great time for you to sell parts or even to Sell your car! Last year I think couple of people bought cars because of this event!!

16. I have a show car and don't really want to drive the Dragon.. Is there other stuff I could do around there?? - Answer is YES!! Down the hill there is a HUGE rafting center. Also, ton of outdoor activities at Nantahala Village.. such as paint ball, horse back ride, boating, etc.. Nantahala will give you a discount on any of those activities.

17. Does Nantahala Village allow pets? - Answer is Yes! Nantahala Village does allow dogs with a $75 pet fee and they are only allowed in our Treehouse Cabins. Those are cabins #42, 43, 44a, 44b, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, and 53.

About number 11. Last year at BOTD they did not let people bring their own alcohol to the Banquet hall.

I will check with NVNC about this. But most likely they will not allow alcohol to the banquet hall.. I believe they told me they now have a liquor license. Which means, you might be able to drink there, just that you have buy it from them.

^Yeah, they got very mad at the people who brought their own this past september, and threatened to kick us out if we didn't get rid of it!

I see..

I've asked them but no response as of yet. I will let you know what they say....

One thing I recall them telling me is that If they don't provide you with it, then their insurance might not cover it... Something like that...
