It's Time!!! Marauderville XII !!!
As announced at Marauderville 11, it's not too soon to think about Marauderville 12!! Here are the criteria and timeframe for proposals. MM.Net Administration will review the proposals, which must be submitted by December 1, 2013. Look for an announcement in early January 2014 for MV12!! (email address below)
Criteria for Marauderville XII
Lodging
Hotel must be affordable. Someone MUST make an on-site visit to determine available facilities.
Amenities: King and Two Queen rooms; High Speed Internet (preferably at no extra charge); dining room, banquet facility, bar all on-site or within close proximity; pool preferred.
The hotel must be able to offer a block of no less than 50 rooms and have ample parking. Security is a high priority.
Itinerary
¼ or 1/8 mile drag strip, Road course or oval track within a reasonable distance and the cost of use. Test and Tune is an affordable option. Preferred event but not required.
Things to see and do: plant/factory tours, museums, breweries, wineries, local culture, Cruises, anything automotive and/or transportation related.
Car Show with awards
Maraudervilles have traditionally been a Thursday through Sunday event. Early Fall would be ideal, although other times will be considered depending on circumstances such as events we can piggyback on.
Consider the distances needed to travel in between itinerary locations as well as traffic and turns.
Down time and time to socialize are important so there's no need to fill every minute of the day.
Responsibilities of Planning Team
Communiciation and follow-through are the most important tasks for the Team. MM.Net will provide a closed forum for the Planning Team so all communications and tracking are in once place.
Site visits to potential hotels and all proposed venues.
Contact and pricing for awards and t-shirts. If you have no one local, we can provide info from prior vendors that served us well.
Contact Supporting Vendors and local area businesses and Chamber of Commerce for support of MV12.
Please create and submit a Budget include projected costs for any itinerary options such as admissions, fees, rentals, meals, catering, insurance, etc. It is OK to suggest "meal on your own."
Use 100 people as a guideline for costs.
Relate why you feel Marauderville XII should be at your location. What makes it “special & unique”?
Any members of previous planning teams would be more than happy to share their experiences. MM.Net pays all the bills and if you must front money, you will be reimbursed with receipts. MM.Net manages the Eventbrite and PayPal functions. MM.Net also makes a significant financial contribution to help keep the costs down. The Registration fees would never cover all the costs. Raffles also help keep the costs down.
Please submit your proposal to MM.Net@MercuryMarauder.Net (MM.Net@MercuryMarauder.Net) by December 1, 2013. Follow-up on the proposal may be needed, so please include names and phone numbers of Members involved in the proposal.
The most important part of planning and execution is a dedicated group of people - doesn't need to be many - that can follow through with all aspects of the event. MM.Net is here to help but this is YOUR event.
If you have any questions, please email MM.Net@MercuryMarauder.Net (MM.Net@MercuryMarauder.Net) or talk to Dan (MercMan) or Mary (MM03MOK).
