CHECKMATE OWNERS RALLY 2015

We are close to wrapping up planning for the 6th annual Checkmate Owners Rally at Lake Cumberland. The dates for this years event will be July 17, 18 and 19. There's a few loose ends to tie up with the potential sponsors for this year then we will have a formal announcement but wanted to get the dates out early enough everyone can make plans. Last year we had great turnout despite the weather and we look forward to this years being even bigger. If anyone has any questions feel free t contact Brian, Jeff or Myself and we'd be happy to help.
 
I will put in my vacay notice as well! Thanks for the heads up! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with this year! I'm still bummed about not making it last year!

There will be some hazing activities planned for your absence last year!!!:lol:
Hope you guys make it and dont blow it up before you do !!!
 
Grider does suck but they are the only marina in that area of the lake that offers enough transient covered slips to make sure everyone can be accommodated. It will be the main marina but everyone is free to stay where ever they please.
 
Also, after doing much research of pricing and quality, Grider's fleet of houseboats is more modern and offer a better value than State Dock or Jamestown. And as with what Dave said being able to offer the option for our guests to "sleep aboard" and offer protection from mother nature with the use of a covered slip allows additional choices for our rallygoers. Keep in mind all slips have lockable storage, electricty and you can use grills slipside if a shore lunch is in order.

:lol:I heard about that last year. We are looking into a houseboat again this year. If the weather is good you can always tie off and party with us.

I do like Grider and it is extremely laid back and everyone I have met there has been very friendly. The management is quite disorganized and usually doesn't know what is where most days leaving room for "Slip Pirates" to go unnoticed until they assign you a full slip...haha...it did happen to Barry and I last fall. Prices are reasonable compared to the other marinas also and the restaurant albeit small does have some good southern cooking. I have no problem at all with that choice of location.
