2009 Polar Bear Run
« on: October 28, 2009, 10:09:51 am »
I just found this in the old forum:

Hello folks,

George Foster has asked me to post this, as the Georgia Triumph Club is extending an invitation for us to participate in the 2009 Polar Bear Run.  A number of us did this a few years ago, so I thought I would post the info again.
Hope to see you there,
Conrad

Greetings Polar Bears:

Tis the season to start planning to attend our 10th Annual Georgia Polar Bear Run.

This year's destination is Barnsley Gardens Resort, near Adairsville, GA.  The last Saturday of the year falls on December 26th this year, so be sure not to overdo it on Christmas Day!!!

If anyone is interested, the Resort will be offering discounted room rates to Polar Bear participants.  I've been told that it will be half of the regular rate.  You'll have to call for details if you're interested.  See the contact information in the attached flier.

We'll be meeting at about 9:00 AM at the Starbucks in Roswell at the corner of Alpharetta Highway and Mansell Rd.  We've met there for a few events in the past, so you may already know where it is.

As before, everyone is invited to particpate in the Polar Bear Run.  Feel free to pass this message around to your friends in the classic car community.  And please publish the attached flier in your club's newsletter.

Updates will be posted on the Georgia Triumph Association's web site: www.GaTriumph.com.  You can also contact me directly if you have any questions.

That's all for now.  Enjoy the next few weeks of fall weather and we'll hope to see you at the Polar Bear Run.

All the best,
George Forster

Forecast for Saturday: Mostly sunny, high near 50. Should be a good day for the run.

I'm planning on going. It's still a little up in the air right now, though.

According to the forecast, you can drive it just like that.  Leave the top at home.

Kevin, if you want us to come by your house, or meet us at the Publix on 324, we can do that.  Maybe between 7 and 7:30.  I checked with Don and Raydar.  Don's in S. Georgia and Raydar and his wife have other things scheduled.  Tom's working, Conrad, I don't know, yet.

I talked to both he and Johnnie late on Wednesday night and he was still at work, running the train.  Johnnie said he'd recently put in 40 hours in 3 days.  At that rate, he'll quickly use up his medical leave.


Merry Christmas.

Maybe he's supposed to be on leave.  But he's still working.

Woke up this morning to find a puddle of brake fluid under the alfa. Looks like I'm going to have to pass on this one.
