TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 August 7th This year we're hosting at a house! Mark and Ali (that's me) bought a house with a great yard in Springfield, VA Start time will be noon The address is 7505 Essex Ave Springfield VA 22150 Parking is only allowed on the side of the street where there are houses. IMPORTANT OUR HOUSE IS ON A ONE WAY STREET. At the tint party Google maps was taking people the wrong way down our street which is very dangerous. Waze is correct. I just checked Google maps and it looks like they took my correction but please be careful. Our house should be on your right as you approach it. Feel free to park in the driveway if there's room. Don't back in because it's steep and you'll scrape worse leaving. Break the rule and pull in There's also a lot of street parking The club supplies grilling meats, fixings and some light refreshments. We ask that each person bring a side dish or dessert to share. It would be helpful if people can also bring chairs and maybe some folding tables. This event is free to members and they can bring one guest (kids are free), non members pay $5 (Cash only please) We'll need volunteers for set up and clean up. We have a huge yard so if you have some sort of games to bring that would be great. We have dogs and one is toothless and not good with other dogs. We would prefer no dogs please so that Daisy doesn't get all worked up. She does love kids though. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Posted July 19, 2016 Would anyone be interested in a parts sale? Bring your stuff you don't want and see if anyone wants to buy it. If it doesn't sell, don't dump it on us please! This is self organized, I can toss some blankets down on the grass to show stuff. Feel free to post what you'll bring and how much you want for it so that buyers can prepare. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

CHILLIN Posted August 5, 2016 Report Posted August 5, 2016 Just a heads up: I'll have some club merchandise with me if anyone is interested (please bring cash). Planning on bringing clings, stickers, and Go Badges. You can also buy items through the store with a credit card and I'll have the order with me. Just choose "event pick-up" as the shipping option. http://dcmm.storenvy.com
