Greetings one and all. This is the first of many information releases =
regarding 1998's TE/AE United to be held in Solomons Island, Maryland =
(~70 miles SSE of our nations capitol). Several of the TE/AE members =
are helping to coordinate events and provide timely dissemination of =
information leading up to the event. I will be in charge of getting =
information to the Tiger and Alpine discussion groups and there will be =
a duplicated effort of promotion in the TE/AE newsletter "Rootes =
Review." Pricing information should be available for our next =
information release expected mid March.
Cheers, Kirk G. Even
TE/AE United XX
XX marks the spot in picturesque Southern Maryland where United 20 will =
be held on Columbus Day weekend, October 8 - 12, 1998.
Come join the fun of Southern Maryland's hospitality and food at the =
waterfront resort of the Holiday Inn Select. The hotel is located in =
scenic, historic Solomons Island, MD. Located at the southern tip of =
the Calvert County peninsula, bordered by the Patuxent River and the =
Chesapeake Bay.
Bring your Sunbeam and join your fellow Sunbeamers for auto crossing, =
drag racing, concourse, tech sessions, and the very important spread of =
parts from our favorite vendors, during the Year of the Tiger.
Bring the kids and let them hunt for sharks teeth on the beach at =
Calvert Cliffs State Park. Visit the Naval Air Test and Evaluation =
Museum (neat airplanes). Explore Battle Creek Swamp Nature Center, =
local lighthouses, and other points of interest.
Pick around the arts and crafts during the Patuxent River Appreciation =
Day event which coincides with the United. Tour the Calvert Marine =
Museum (great displays and aquarium exhibits). Browse around the shops =
and boutiques on Solomons Island (bring the plastic) or just slip off to =
one of the many fine restaurants and pubs for a quiet lunch or dinner. =
Hit the Solomons Island boardwalk for a romantic stroll (remember those =
days?) or just park the Sunbeam and watch one of our fantastic sunsets.
A tour bus trip is being offered to the nearby historic areas for those =
not involved in the auto competitions. Also, a sunset dinner cruise is =
scheduled (depending upon level of interest), which will depart from the =
Holiday Inn dock.
Most dining, imbibing, entertainment and shopping are within walking =
distance of the Holiday Inn so concerns about parking your Sunbeam won't =
be necessary!!
A map showing routes to the festivities from Virginia, Washington, DC, =
Annapolis and the Baltimore/Washington International Airport will be =
included when signing up. Start making your plans to attend United XX. =
Early registration is recommended since this location is a favorite =
tourist spot and hotel rooms are likely to fill up fast, but we have =
plenty reserved.
Watch for more details in upcoming TE/AE newsletters and Tiger/Alpine =
group e-mails.
Your United XX Team.
