Moving this to the top so others may read and respond. We need at least one more committment - This will be a nice trip.
French Lick Springs hotel is where we plan to stay for our May 1, 2 and 3rd outing. This should be really nice, but it is not cheap. To get these rates we must commit to 10 rooms for 2 nights. What I mean by commit is one of us must sign a contract and guarantee the 10 rooms on a credit card. The regular rate for weekend nights at the hotel is $189 plus tax and a $12 resort fee. I have negotiated a $159 rate plus tax resort fee included. (approx $174 vs $220/night) We can also get double rooms for 4 people at $169 per night but we still must have 10 rooms. The resort fee is charged for use of putting greens, gym, swimming pool, hot tub, shuttle service, and a bunch of other amenities that I don't remember now but we get it free with a group rate.
The hotel is a resort recently upgraded for $500 million. It has 9 dining options, shops, riding stables, shuttle to the casino tours etc. Go to http://www.frenchlick.com/ and look at all the amenities.
We will plan rides according to who signs up. We can have a Lite Ride Saturday and Sunday and a longer regular ride Saturday arranged to ensure a good time for all riders.
What we need is commitment for 10 rooms and I am willing to sign the contract and coordinate paying for the 10 rooms but I will need the cash for the rooms before I sign for this dollar amount. We can get more rooms, but 10 is the minimum for a group rate and discount. They indicated that they book up up to 60 days in advance so we need to act soon to get our rooms reserved and in a block.
If we don't have enough interest for 10 rooms, we can get a flat 10% off the $189 with AAA discount, but we will have to pay the resort fee.
OK FOGBEES this should be a really nice weekend, and if it is a weather bust, we can still enjoy a fine resort and casino -- BUCK UP AND SIGN UP!!!
