Mike, If you don't have any objections I'll forward this to the Morgan Three Wheeler Club to get it on the club calendar and to the north American Group Organizer for inclusion in his monthly report in the club newsletter. I'd also like to talk it up on the North American Morgan Three Wheeler Convention Facebook page ( https://tinyurl.com/y6e5opqd) which will reach about 180 people (Rich Gibson already posted a link to this discussion there). Background on the FB page: Mark Braunstein of Florida, Graeme Addie of GA and I (Texas) organized the Convention in May 2017 in Augusta, GA and while it was mostly aimed at owners of the 20+ vintage trikes we also had nine modern "5-speeders" there as well. Larry and Linda Eckler and Bob Boston represented dealers and Emil Rolando was there too. We got good sponsorship (Christopher John, Northshore Imports, Morgan America, Morgan Spares, Morgan West, Morgan Cars USA and Morgan Custom (Emil). Besides having social time and exploring local sights we had morning and afternoon seminars regarding repair and restoration taught by recognized hands-on experts in the field of Morgan 3-wheelers. We also had a "drive each others' Morgan 3-wheeler" event at a local school parking lot. I no longer own the 1931 Super Sports Aero 3-wheeler but I'd love to participate myself (I'll drive the '71 Plus 8). We'll be in VA all summer (near Lexington, about 2 hours away from the Lodge). Duncan Charlton Elgin, TX Duncan, this is great to hear. Please, absolutely, publish and extend welcomes to all! I'm sure we'd all love nothing better than to have an even larger turnout of vehicles, enthusiastic sponsors and talented educators. As you rightly imply, this will require more than yours truly alone to coordinate. To the extent anyone is willing to team, especially yourself and Rodger being local and folks with contacts in the M3W supplier community, please raise a hand! Specifically, we could probably break down the assignments as follows: - Solicitation of MMC and Dealer sponsorships - Invitations and coordination with Individual M3W guru's - Seminar topic selection prioritizations - Coordination with Hotel for facilities to accommodate seminars, meals and entertainment based on the above - Daily rally route planning and destinations - Entertainment and awards - Trailer storage option coordination -Anything else? I have zero pride of authorship. The more of us that help, the better! Michael

Yes, Mabry Mill. Mile marker 176, so a bit south from Skyland lodge, but about 45 minutes from our house.
We are about 180 miles SW of Skyland Lodge. But if anyone wants to park a trailer here and then three-wheel to the lodge, let me know

Just booked a room for Friday night only. Come see a 2016 with over 10,000 that’s been as reliable as any Honda Civic. 😂

The group code is still not working. I called 877-847-1919 and spoke to Brian. He couldn't make any connection between the Morgan group and an established block of rooms or a special rate, but he did go ahead and book me at the rates quoted above, and also put a note on my reservation saying I want my room to be near the other Morgan three wheeler folks. Brian said Skyland won't be staffed until April but other than that he could find no reason the group rate reservation had not gelled.
I'll be attending alone (my bride will be in Honduras for her annual veterinary mission trip) so I'm open to sharing the room.
Our place near Lexington (it's in Rockbridge Baths, about six miles west of I-81 and about 6.5 miles north of I-64) has plenty of room to park trailers for those who are coming from the south or west and want a place to stash theirs. Taking state highways instead of the Interstate adds only 15-20 minutes from our place to Skyland and is a lot more interesting.
Michael, just to clarify, I'm local only from late May through August (our official residence is in Texas). I'll give some thought to assisting somehow but for now I'll get the word out through the channels we used for the 2017 Convention (unfortunately the website is no longer functioning).

This a great idea. Wish I could attend. Too many conflicting issues at the moment.

Michael, would you send me your email address? I can't seem to get through via private message.
MMC is willing to post mention of this even on its FB page but it would be better if there is a website or other FB page specific to this event. If it's alright with you we can use the one I set up for the 2017 Augusta conference since that already has nearly 200 people following it.
