We are down to the wire on this! It's hard to believe it's less than 4 weeks away! A recent check with the hotels showed just a few rooms left ( if any) at the rates of $99/$149 Sleep Inn/Doubletree. Thank you everyone that is planning to attend. Recent conversations show yet another freshly restored car planning to attend with the potential for a few more never seen before cars! We do NOT have a registration fee for this event as it is more or less do whattcha wanna do event or just lay back and relax.
Welcome to the PCS Southeastern Chapter Regional Meet
Wednesday April 30th - Sunday May 3rd
Wednesday arrivals! Welcome to Asheville, we hope you enjoyed the drive through the southern Appalachians, the scenery in this region is simply stunning. Check in.....settle in and relax after your drive. Multiple dining establishments are within a 2 block walking distance of either hotel. We will have PCS Staff on site after 4 PM to help you with whatever you need ( with a dedicated cell phone # for the meet). Dinner with friends and parking lot time will undoubtedly be on the agenda.
Thursday April 31st. We have assembled a very laid back venue where you can choose whatever you would like to do. Guests at the Doubletree/Sleep Inn can purchase 2 Day Passes for the Biltmore Estate directly from the hotels for $60 plus tax. This is a great deal as one day passes are $60. You DO NEED A VEHICLE to do Biltmore. Groups interested in going can make plans or meet in the lobby of the Doubletree at 9:30AM. Also available directly from the hotel are 2 day passes for the Grey Line trolley which runs all over Asheville and stops at the Doubletree lobby on the hour. Explore Historic downtown Asheville, the Grove Park Inn, River Arts District as well as many other stops. Trolley passes are $22 per person for 2 days!. Group up with friends for dinner and of course parking lot time starts at 7PMish!
Friday May 1st. Once again your are free to explore in groups the Biltmore House or explore Asheville via the Trolley. Meet in the Doubletree lobby at 9:30AM. The NHAA has organized a Scavenger Hunt to be held starting at the Holiday Inn on Tunnel Road (Map provided $10 per car fee to the NHAA , time to be announced) . Dinner groups can meet in the Doubletree lobby at 6pm and of course more parking lot/swap meet time into the evening.
Saturday May 2nd. The NHAA has invited us to attend their 2nd Annual Show which is to be held at the Pisgah Brewing Company in Black Mountain from 10AM-2PM. Registration for the Show is $10 per car (paid to the NHAA) which includes a tour of the Brewery. Vendors are $25.00. You have the option to continue exploring Asheville, there is that much to see! We will reconvene at our hotels for our "show and chill" time. We have invited the NHAA members to come over at 5-6 PM for pizza and drinks in the Sleep Inn parking lot at 6pm. This is a no cost social event.
We are glad you decided to come to Asheville in what we hope will become an annual event that in addition to the PCS International Meet will help grow our groups and provide a venue that is central to those of us in the south east. We encourage you to run over o the NHAA host hotel, the Holiday Inn on Tunnel Road and say hello to people over there. Many of us in the PCS or NHAA plan on running back and forth between venues over the weekend! Both clubs goal is to make this "THE Event" of the year annually. We appreciate your input and thoughts all through the weekend as well as afterwards. Any questions please email us at southeastpcs @ outlook.com or message Cary here.
We look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely, your host committee,
Cary Livingston

As I have mentioned in previous posts rooms get scarce all over Asheville this time of year so if you have an inkling of attending book NOW! Discussions are being held regarding a "banquet" or large gathering in the Texas Roadhouse, TGI Fridays or utilizing the Doubletree. ( I just discovered a new Jimmie Johns opened 3 blocks from the hotels, I can hear Darren B drooling at the thought.)
