2017 Buick Club of America National Meet Brookfield, WI July 5-8: Friday 7/7/17 Meeting

[Rollaround]

Anyone have some intel on the parking arrangements for our cars in Brookfield?  Blacktop, grass? Distance the trailers will be parked from the show cars.  Ability to move our cars in and out?  Looking for general information on the show layout.

From my experience, typically the National BCA meets are on pavement. You are allowed to drive your car in and out , with the exception of Saturday once the show field is closed for judging. There normally is an area available for car washing.  Pictures of an Oldsmobile meet held there show a lot of pavement and very little shade.

The meet is being held at or just adjacent to the host hotel.

Also, to those who have never attended a BCA national meet: Just because the Registration Desk is open certain hours during the meet, including Saturday morning, does NOT mean you can show up on that day, expect to register for the meet, and register a car for judging! It doesn't work that way. If you want to show a car and get it judged (no matter what type or class of judging), you have to register in advance of the meet! The purpose of the Registration Desk's hours at the meet is to allow members to pick up their registration packets, with event tickets, windshield cards for your registered show car, judging forms, etc., all of which have been prepared in advance of the meet.

The registration deadline is June 23. PERIOD! After that date, decisions will be made as to judging class size, which classes to split based on how many are registered in each class, how many judging teams are needed, how many awards to order, how many forms to get copied, how to lay out the show field parking lot, etc., etc. 

Trailer parking will be in the Sears parking lot, which is just across the driveway that comes into the hotel. There is room for probably 75 trailers, all in walking distance.  It is an ideal location.

Hi Everyone!

Just a reminder that the 65GS.com Meat & Greet is today at 3pm.

Our house is the one with the Astro Blue '65 car in the front. For those attending, you have our address via previous pm.

For those not driving a classic Buick, we ask that you park up or down the road so the classics have room in the court.

Reminder, please bring your chairs if you have them.

We'll have Burgers, Brats & Fixings, Beans, Slaw, Salad, Chips, Dip, Veggies, SODA, Beer, Water... So come Hungry and Thirsty!

Thanks for coming! Can't wait!
