    Grand Design Mid Atlantic Owners' Rally Delaware - 10/9 - 10/14/2019

    Ask and you shall receive, I ask Wagon master Bob if it was OK to repost his Facebook Rally post to this forum. Now I got the job of keeping you updated. It’s all good, I’ll do my best to update in a timely matter. For 2019 we are changing our Name from “Grand Design NE Owners' Rally” to “Grand Design Mid Atlantic Owners' Rally”. We want to be proactive in eliminating any confusion as we understand a New England Rally is starting up.
    With that here are the posts from Bob:
    HOT OFF THE PRESS!
    The 2019 Grand Design NE Owner's Rally is cancelled! (JUST KIDDING!)
    Now that I have your attention Today, we completed the contract with Massey's to once again have our rally under palm trees, October 9th - 14th, 2019.
    We are taking a break, now that the contract is secured, to catch our breath and get the paperwork and whatnot done (including the post-event survey). More details will come once we work through them, but we did not want to leave you all hanging. You will get first crack at the site you had this year, but the process will be slightly different (don't sweat it, I'll give everyone the full rundown once that process is figured out).
    The good news is that we have a number of positive changes already in flight, and will announce them soon.
    Thanks for all your support!
    OK - 2019 update!
    For those of you who were in RV sites (not cabins), you should be getting a phone call from Massey's to get you set up for next year's event!
    A few important things to note:
    - If you thought you made reservations - YOU STILL NEED TO TALK TO THEM!
    - The rates have gone up for next year - $59/night for the RV sites, and $45/day for the golf carts. A portion of this goes towards the event expenses, so the increase will actually help us keep our event ticket prices down.

    Ok gang, I know everyone wants to come back and guarantee their spot for next year, but we apparently have given the call center the "hug of death" - let's let them catch their breath
    Here is the latest information for those of you who are looking for info for next year. Ed: I want to add don't call Massey's unless you have received a call from them. You will not be able to change sites,or book a new reservation until everyone that was here 2018 gets a chance to rebook. Once everyone that was here this year has had the chance to rebook, we will open for new bookings, and wait list if needed.
    Massey's Landing will be calling everyone who stayed this year for the rally, and will give you the option of renewing for next year (since you were not able to do so since the dates had not been finalized). If you are interested, then you need to let them know! The kicker is, since they are in the middle of a phone system upgrade, the call will come in looking like a Private ID, or "0" - this is legit!
    They are short-handed - it is the end of the season, and the folks that worked their tails off over the summer are now trying to get their own vacations in before it gets too cold, so please be patient!
    More info coming soon!

    Wow update already this is going to be a job.


    Here is that latest info on next year, and a few updates.

    1) Massey's is calling everyone to confirm renewal of sites for next year. They will go through the list, please give them time to do so, they are going numerically, so it might take some time - be patient

    2) If you want to go next year, once we get through the list from this year, we will open it up to everyone. The reason we are doing this is that we normally let folks do it when they check out, but since dates were up in the air, we had to wait.

    3) We are working on the ticket system for next year. It is too far out to know what activities we will have planned, but we are preparing the system for that now, so there will be a much easier process to sign up. Stay tuned.

    4) We are working on a website where everyone can stay up to date on one place, and where wee can share schedules, etc. We will update here as well, but having fewer places to post info means it's easier to keep up with changes. It's coming soon (pssst! Might be something like www.gdmarally.com)

    5) We are changing our name, too Originally, we were more Northeast, but not so much anymore So from now on, we will be "The artist formerly known as the Grand Design Northeast Owner's Rally", or "Grand Design Mid-Atlantic Owner's Rally" for short Sorry if this causes any confusion

    6) In the short term, we are hoping that there might be a few folks who can help us with building the website and graphics - if this is something you can help with, please let us know!

    Ok, last update for the day - have a good weekend!

    Hi Mark , Chrissy been working her tail off making calls and rebook ins. Checked my wife's facebook account, looks like she is up around the 190's as of November 2nd.
    Please remember, she is the only one working on making the calls.

    Hang in there, she will get to you. On a side note, when she calls, her number may come up as restricted or "00", and go to voice mail

    Have a great day.

    Update:From our Facebook page for those without FB.

    Hey everyone!

    Well, I don't know about you, but I have HAD it with the cold weather and snow, and I am jonesing to get out and camp! That said, this is the perfect time to go over what's happening, when things will start happening, and start giving some details

    First off! We are going to spread out the event a bit more this year to accomodate for activities that folks liked, as well as make the format a little more casual, with more social time scheduled in as well - as always, that is always a moving target, and typically doesn't REALLY get finalized until much closer, but the general gist is to line up more "local flavor" events, but as soon as we have the details, you will know. We will also be adding the ticket salesd for the activities (trips, etc) to the mix later in the year to make things much easier to manage than in the past.

    SECOND! WHERE will you get the information this year? Instead of putting it in a dozen places, we are putting it all onto our new website: http://www.gdmarally.com. Why another site you might add? Well, we can keep all the info in one place, and post updated in others, pointing to the site. Also, in an attempt to more environmentally conscious, we will also have electronic, mobile-device friendly schedules and more posted there, making access to this info easy, no matter where you are (printed versions will also be available, in case that's not your style). That said, the site is not done yet, as we work through the list of things to do, we try to prioritize.

    THIRD! Pricing. OK, this is always a touchy topic, so lets just get it out there now. Massey's has raised the price of the sites (out of our control) but they are still very reasonable. As for the event fees, there are a few realities that I want to share with everyone, to keep full transparency. Massey's is not providing the tent this year, so we will need to be more financially prudent this year. Our average cost last year was $124 per RV last year, and we only charged $50 - the gap was closed by the donations of our sponsors as well as the procurement of the tent by Massey's. We don't want to make things any more expensive than necessary, so we have changed the fee structure for 2019 to keep things more balanced:

    $60 per RV includes all the normal things, but covers 2 adults and 2 kids.
    $10 per additional adult (covers food, etc)

    LAST! WHEN CAN WE SIGN UP!?!?!?! We are working to clear the backlog on the waitlist, and once that has been done, we will be opening up the site for ticket sales - I am hoping that we can have the doors open and the red carpet rolled out for everyone by March 15th.

    Any comments, questions, etc - let us know!

    As posted on our Facebook page, and on out Webpage http://www.gdmarally.com/

    Hey everyone!
    As we scramble to get the vendors signed up and confirmed, and get the schedule together (this is a longer process than you might Imagine... On Reflection, we'll see the Momentum that our time in Solitude and focus brings... LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist)

    I just wanted to remind everyone that the price for the event goes up on Sept 1 to $75, so get your registration done soon!

    If you see your site and it's Orange, you haven't registered yet. To order your tickets, please go to :

    http://gdmarally.eventbrite.com

    If you are on the wait list and would like to book a site instead of waiting for a spot to maybe open. We are working with Lighthouse Resort (302) 515-2300, which is right down the road, like 1/2 mile or so from Masseys, for overflow if you are interested in that as an option as well. Once you book you will still need to purchase a ticket at http://gdmarally.eventbrite.com
