2015 AOTY and DOTY Awards Ceremony

Is there a start time for everything? On the first post is still states TBA

Time: Arrive and fish and cook and chill as early as you want. Award ceremony will start promptly at 2pm to give folks like our AOTY coming from the far north time to drive down.

Schedule of events starting at 2pm:

1. AOTY and Junior AOTY (AOTY committee)
2. Raffle for Camera for early signups (BigJim?)
3. DOTY and Junior DOTY (DOTY committee)
4. Participation Raffle drawing for WS Thresher (RacinRob), and Hobie Sport for Juniors (Rider)

The group campsite (GOA) is reserved and paid for under my name for anyone (up to 60 people) who wants to stay the night and camp. I won't be able to, but I imagine some folks will want to.

 

Sincerely,

Jim

ps..I'll update the first post too. 

Thank you, I know you had posted it somewhere.

Never been there before either so do we still have to pay to park for day use? Or does the GOA campsite reservation under your name cover it?

I've never been there before either Antonio, but my understanding is that the GOA campsite reservation is good for 15 vehicles and 60 people.

Sounds like the first 15 cars should be good to go, and then after that have to pay for a day use entry?

Anyone interested in freediving/line diving that day?

That is correct.
Upon arrival, tell them you're going to the group site. If the first 15 passes are already taken, you can just pay the day-use fee.

As far as Diving goes... Be aware that there are leeches in there and they DO bite!!!
