Mark your calendars! The 10th edition of the Poker Run is once again the Saturday before Mother's Day.(May 10) The route has been determined and we are hitting the favorite spots from past runs.

We start in Helen and head to Fender's Diner in Cornelia, from there we will head to the Clarkesville Mall to hunt for treasures, next is Tallulah Falls, then around the lakes to the DQ in Hiawassee, the final leg runs down to Cleveland to end at Jake Raby's shop where we will see his changes and improvements. (and figure the winners and give prizes)

This years entry fee has not been finalized, but will be lower than in past years! Cool Details on registration and hotel prices coming very soon.

Some details: This year's entry fee is only $20.00 for pre-registration and $25.00 the day of the run. If you are pre-registered you are guaranteed a shirt and the proper size. If you don't pre-register, you may not get a shirt at all and if you do, it may not be your first choice of sizes. We are only ordering 36 shirts this year (unless we get more than that pre-ordered) due to having too many shirts left over each year.

So, to Pre-register Send your $ and shirt size to Clyde. Extra shirts are $12.00. You can also post here or PM Clyde your info, then mail payment.

Clyde Maddox, 1070 Canyon Creek Rd., Watkinsville, 30677

Pre-registration is open till April 27. Shirt order goes in on the 28th.

Hotel info as soon as I have it.

The host hotel is once again the Best Western Riverside Inn and Conference Center. It is located on the main street in Helen. The price for us is $70.00 per night. To book your room call 706 878 2111 and ask for the Athens VW club rate. Don't call the general Best Western reservations phone number, as they don't have this rate to offer. Cool

The shirt order goes in less than a week from now. Let Clyde or me know your shirt size even if you haven't registered yet. We are only ordering a limited amount of shirts and extras will be of limited size selection.

Also, remember this cruise goes through the mountains. Be sure your brakes are adjusted and working to the best of their ability.
It is your responsibility to be sure your car is road worthy.

If you haven't booked your room and you intend to do so, do it soon, we have a limited amount of rooms reserved.

As usual, we will host a post run cook-out at the host hotel. It is free to all participants. Very Happy

The shirt order is in and the day for the run is getting closer! If you haven't booked your room yet now is the time. No one wants to miss the Friday night dinner at the Mexican restaurant so get there as early as you can. Cool

This year's sponsors:
Herrell's Bug Parts
North Georgia Speedometer
Athens German Aircooled Parts
Raby Enterprises
Volkswagen Club of Athens

We are still looking for more sponsors. More prizes are always welcome. Very Happy

If you have not registered yet you can do it Friday night if you can find us Cool or Saturday morning starting at 9:00 am in the Best Western parking lot. We will start the run shortly after 10:00 am.

First stop is Fender's Diner, so bring your lunch money. Very Happy

I know the forecast is for rain here and there, but seldom does it last long. Every mountain we crest has a different weather system happening so don't let that keep you away. Even wet we will have a blast!

Rain suit?! We don't need no stinking rain suits. Cool




After the run there will be a free cook out. This usually starts about 7:00 pm; after we get a chance to recover.
