I'm thinking of attending but don't see anything on the IRCWCC website about where in North Carolina. Anyone know what airport we'd fly into? Thanks in advance
Battle site is Town Of Oakboro District Park We stay at Quality Inn, NC 24/27 Bypass East, Albemarle, NC, about an hour from the airport
Thanks gang, it would be awesome to see everyone again (Lou). Is there a block of rooms or special rate at the Quality Inn?
We might need another hotel as back-up. There are going to be a lot of construction workers there. And /or we may need to be on the second floor Get used to a 5:00am wake-up call
Yes Kas I heard that the current von winner is supposed to stay at the holiday inn - @Panzer can stay with the rest of us though
Quality Inn of Albemarle, NC as per the norm 704-983-6990 Opt “0” for Reservations Tell them your with the “Model Boat Club” and they will list you under the blocked out rooms.
I don’t think Rob S monitors this site, I recommend directing all questions about nats accommodations to the IRCWCC groups.io list
When I did mine yesterday, I had to mention we were with the model boats group. Should get you the discount.
Update on the hotel situation for those not on the ircwcc list. We decided to switch the hotel after a few incidents at the event last weekend. Here is new info: Best Western International | Stay with people who care.SM US Hwy 52 N | Albemarle | NC | 28001 Phone( 704)985-1111 Room rate is $89 per night plus tax We have (5) King rooms and (15) Double rooms blocked
Seemed like a good chunk of the hotel was used for section 8 housing, we had someone come up to us mid overdose with vomit on their clothes who would not leave when kindly asked to, we notified the staff and the person was carted away. One guy had someone pound on his door at 3am probably wrong room for drug pick up, a few other shady characters roaming about, police felt the need to do evening passes through the parking lot (which we appreciated). Overall general consensus was we’d rather pay a bit more to hopefully not deal with that
