Bounder-Roos Gillette Pre-Rally
Info from President Jim Hall
Work on the Gillette Rally is coming along slowly for me as we
do not have anyone in the Gillette WY area that I can contact to
assist. Following are some of the preliminary items for your
consideration. The pre-rally will be held at Gillette from June
15th thru the 18th with the FMCA Family Showcase starting on
June 19th. I am planning on having a pre-rally very similar to
the one that we had in Indianapolis last September. During the
day you will be on your own to see the sights of the area. In
the evening we will have a room available to us to do what we do
best, that is to have fun and meet and greet other Bounder
owners. If everything goes as I have planned we will also have
one night of entertainment. In respect to our registration for
the pre-rally and registration for the FMCA Rally itself, we are
to phone in our reservations directly to FMCA.
Rally In A Rally Guidelines for
Gillette, Wyoming
1. Early arrival will be permitted for
those chapters which volunteer during the 88th Family Reunion;
2. Chapters must arrive together to
facilitate being parking together;
3. Upon arrival, chapter members must
display their 88th Family Reunion credentials;
4. No early arrivals can be facilitated
prior to June 14, 2013; 5. Each chapter member attending the
Rally In A Rally must phone in their registration to FMCA;
6. An early arrival fee will not be
charged to those chapter members who indicate at the time of
their registration that they will volunteer during the Reunion;
7. Chapter members who do not volunteer will be charged an early
arrival fee of $25 per coach per night, payable at the time of
registration; early arrival fees will be charged for June 14
and/or June 15;
8. Chapter members arriving early should
purchase electric service; a small number of non-electric
registrations may be accepted, however, they will not be parked
with their chapter;
9. Chapter meeting room space will be
available on a shared basis starting June 14; Sign up is
required and the room must be left clean and garbage removed;
10. No service support can be provided
(catering, janitorial, security, trams, etc.) during early
arrival days;
11. The number of early arrivals is
limited; 12. All Rally In A Rally registrations must be received
by the early bird registration deadline, April 29, 2013.
You will note in the instructions above
that there is an early arrival fee of $25.00 per coach payable
at the time of registration. I have been assured by Maureen
Malarkey at FMCA that we will only be charged for the 15th,
which is the day that out pre-rally starts, for the $25.00 fee.
I made two (2) calls to Maureen in this regard and on both
instances I was assured that the early arrival fee would only be
$25.00. For those of you who may want to arrive on the 14th, you
will be charged an additional $25.00 for that day's early
arrival also.
I would suggest that for those of you
attending that you sign up for electric service. The
registration fee for the FMCA Rally is $165.00, and the
additional fee for 30 amp electric is $170.00. I am hoping that
we will be assigned to an area with full hookups at Gillette as
even though it is the later part of June when we will be there,
it will still be hot and humid in Wyoming. There is a real
possibility that if you do not sign up for electric that you may
be parked away from the rest of the Chapter members.
If you want to see some additional information in regards to the
area of Wyoming where we will be, you can go to the
Cam-plex web
site at www.cam-plex.com . There is a lot of information on
their site. During the time that we will be there their will is
a rodeo or two going on, and also there will be a Performance
Arts Workshop Performance for us to take in.
The Chapter charge for the pre-rally per
coach will be $50.00 as it was in the past. This charge is for
us to be able to have some of the fun like we had at
Indianapolis. I am looking forward to seeing you in Gillette in
June. In the meantime I hope that you have safe travels and stay
healthy.

2013 Family Reunion
and Motorhome Showcase
FMCA's 88th Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase will take place
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 19, 20, 21, and 22,
2013, at CAM-PLEX in Gillette, Wyoming.
The 2013 event represents the association's first-ever visit to
Gillette for an international event. This Family Reunion will be
especially significant, as it will mark the culmination of the
association's 50th anniversary celebration. FMCA was founded by a
group of "house car" owners who gathered in Hinckley, Maine, in July
1963.
CAM-PLEX is especially well-suited for the 2013 event. The
1,100-acre convention, exhibition, and performing arts center offers
state-of-the-art multipurpose facilities as well as six separate RV
park venues encompassing 1,730 sites.
