Topic: United Four Wheel Drive Associations Wheel-in

Registered.

I too was thinking that the registration fee was per vehicle.  If it is per person, I need to know soon so I can decide if I need to register anyone else.

Plus, now that the registration form is on line, you can't look at the flyer for details.  Realize that some things still need to be worked out, but those registering now or registering on blind faith.  Beside the obvious t-shirt and trail riding, what is my money covering?

Reading the flier, it's not clear if the registration is individual, per vehicle or family. I always hope for family or per vehicle, so I can keep my family involved in my hobby. I like to think this is a family event. I can definitely see charging for extra meals and t-shirts, however.

Hi ALL!
The registration fee is per vehicle (that means it covers the number of occupants for which you have seatbelts) Additional vehicle occupants who are not the driver will not receive a meal ticket or t-shirt, however, they may purchase t-shirts or meal tickets. Details for purchasing additional t-shirts and meal tickets will be posted soon. Please post any questions that you may have, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, my DSL was down. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the clarification.

[Mike & Lu Anne Clark]

We're registered!  Yeah!  But, I have a question.  When I registered as a member and said I'd pay by check, the initial confirmation came back asking me to send a check for $75, not $65.  Did I miss something along the way?

[Melissa Simmons]

Lu Anne (and everyone),

Late yesterday we noticed an error on the "online" registration page.  The CORRECT price for UFWDA Members _IS_ $75.  The correct price for non-UFWDA members is $105.  Since it was a mistake on our end and yesterday was a day earlier than we had anticipated for online-registration to actually be up and running, those of you who got registered yesterday got an "early bird special" and UFWDA will "eat" the $10.

Please remember everyone - this is a fundraiser for UFWDA.  For all intents and purposes we may not make a dime - we may just break even.  Time will tell.  Much depends on how many people show up - how many raffle tickets get purchased - etc. - etc. - etc.

Marti Pugh, the first ever Business Development Manager for UFWDA set out to provide UFWDA members with something FUN!  We are working hard to ensure that FUN is what happens.  This is our first ever trail ride.  Although many of the names and faces are familiar to you from Camp Jeep or possibly the Virginia annual ride, please keep in mind those of us here at UFWDA are new at this and doing our best.  We are eternally grateful for the help and advice of more experienced "trail ride" gurus - like Chris Boucher.

Thanks to everyone so far - for signing up - and for your questions, comments and feedback.  We will be putting up a FAQs thread very soon to help with some of the other Qs&As along the way.

Don't worry, United will get their $10 back from me (and then some) in the raffle.  That's where the big money is to be made!

[Mark H. Easter]

OK, I got registered!  THANKS Melissa!

I too will spend bucks on raffle and extra T-Shirts!  (Hope they look good!)

I am really looking forward to this event like all events at Oak Ridge!

Thanks for the clarifications...

You'll definitely make it up on me in the raffle, too.

Hey Folks. I have a few questions. Will we be wheeling all 3 days? Will we be wheeling all the trails like at the Annual? Is there a limit to the number of participants? Is there a hotel that UFWDA recommends, and do they give a discount to participants?

Thanks,
Be well,
Richard

[Chris Boucher]

I have 2 answers for you...

We will be wheeling Friday and Saturday. 

We will be running the Oak Ridge trail system in loop fashion, just like the Oak Ridge Jeep Jamboree and the VA4WDA Trail Ride.
