[kyle4501]

The South East BusNuts Spring rally will be April 13-16, 2016 at www.palmettocove.com

Mike Heron is hosting & I am co-host.

We have lots planned, a repower discussion, four dinners, three b'fasts, one 'famous grilled sausage' lunch, one grill your-own-hamburger lunch, the Elvis (Jumpsuitman) concert, and an optional Ladies Lunch at the nearby winery. And, of course, fellowship with fellow busnuts!

You can register at  www.sebusnuts.org

If you register before March 15, you can take advantage of the 'early bird' fee of $49. After Mar. 15th, it goes up to $69.

I forgot to mention that all are invited to attend this rally, not just the Southeast Busnuts.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there!

We need to attend a rally on the other coast someday sounds like fun.To add Kyle people get bad information that you can not attend a FMCA chapter rally without belonging to FMCA which isn't true FMCA want's you to attend a chapter rally

Way too early for a count.
We are planning for 40 coaches - as more than that register, we will increase the quantities on our shopping list.

Hello Fellow Busnuts,
Hot Dam, this is my 1001st post!

You just knew I would have to jump in here sooner or later.  I hope with the announcement this early that you can make definite plans to come to the rally at Palmetto Cove, in cleveland, SC April 13-16, 2016.  Those of you that attended the rally we held there a few years ago know of the great time we all had and all stated it was one of the friendliest rallies they have been to.  

Mike and Kyle have spent much time arranging this rally for us and with the cost of fuel at a descent level there should not be too many reasons to not come.  It is hard to organize a rally and a lot of work so you can plan on food etc. so do your hardest to commit to attend and make the planning a little easier and as far as entertainment, (Mark Woodward - Aka-Elvis) which was at our last rally and quite the hit with the ladies and maybe a few guys??  Kidding here of course, but there will be other music as well during the weekend, Fire pits to sit around and joke and laugh and of course I will probably have to talk about the (Snake In MY Pants)!!  

Time is flying by for all of us, make this rally a done deal and try to plan to come a few days early to enjoy the community sights near Palmetto Cove Campground.  The cost for early commitment is low enough to allow you not hurt your budget and there is more than enough room for anyone wishing to attend this rally.  Camping site reservations are not necessary as this park can easily house 150 full rigs.  

Try to respond to the Rally invite and allow Mike and Kyle to get some kind of account of those that wish to come this year, 2016.  We had 56 buses and a few RV's at our last big rally at Palmetto Cove and best of all AGAIN that  "EVERYONE" is invited and accepted with (NO RESTRICTIONS THAT YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER) of any club status etc. The only requirement is that all buses, campers, rv's and all camping apparatuses are self contained per state requirements.  This means that a bathroom in all vehicles to be self sustained.

Bring your instruments if you have any, singers welcome as well, and bring your appetite as well as we all eat very, very good.

As usual this is a lengthy post by me, but I cannot express the great time we always have at Palmetto Cove and the only bad part of this rally is that (it goes by so darn fast)!  Plan to come a few days early or stay a few days longer and this is one park you will thoroughly relax and enjoy. Bring your cameras, Elvis will put on when heck of a show, I promise!  The hosts of Palmetto cove are also the best, anything you need they are more than happy to assist you within their powers.

Here is a 15 minute video from the SEBN Rally Linda and I sponsored in 2011 and this video is dedicated mainly to one of our busnut friends (Dave Bullock) & his great wife Manerva.  Dave died only 5 days after leaving this rally, his last bus rally to enjoy and he sure did.  Hope you enjoy this dedication to him and the sights of Palmetto Cove if you never been there.

So far about 70 views in the past 30 hours have been made concerning this Palmetto Cove SEBN rally.  I hope over this weekend that many of you in nearby states, KY, NC, TN, GA, FL and just anyone wanting to have a wonderful busnut visiting weekend will commit to attend the SEBN Rally in April on this board to encourage others to do the same and also to make your commitment to Mike of the SEBN with your rally fee.  This can only help Mike Heron and Kyle Brandt plan for a successful rally like we had in 2011. View the video I posted earlier again, get pumped up and commit.  

I promise you that you will have a wonderful time, make new friends and enjoy ones you know already.  It is a great time to meet in person those you have been reading about in this BCM format bulletin board.  Come on and make a plan, commit ASAP, the more the merrier as you will see.  I promise you will talk about the Elvis Show for many years to come as Mark Woodward does a knock down job and is a hell of a nice man as well out of Character / Costume.

so go fill up your bus fuel tanks now while the prices are real reasonable or more so than the past few years for sure.  Do all your safety checks and be sure you trip will be worry free, and make yourself relaxed, ready to laugh, eat, listen to music and see one of the best Elvis Impersonators you will ever see in person.  

sorry for the length of post, naaaaaaa, I'm not if I can convince you to commit and attend.  Have a great weekend, Commit ASAP!

I sure do wish you could make it Clifford, I wish to meet you in person to thank you for all the advise and help you have given me over the past few years.  I understand if you can't.

One more thing, "IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE A (FMCA) MEMBER TO ATTEND THIS RALLY.  I am not a FMCA member and I sure as heck plan to be there and give you a few laughs.

There will be a roundtable discussion, so anything goes . . . repower - be it a series 50 or 60.

Plenty of time for travel discussions too - places we've been & places to go.

We will have several fire pits, so I'm sure there will be plenty of friendly discussions - even if politics comes up

Someone has to come early and kill all the mosquitoes.

Ned,
Please take advantage of the early registration discount so you can make more smoke

Now 380 busnuts have read this post announcement of the Palmetto Cove SEBN Bus rally in April since I last posted, but no one has committed on the board to attend?  All of us on the East Coast wishing to confer in a central area now have that opportunity, please don't let this pass you up.  Consider committing here for others to see who may be at the rally and encourage them to come here as well and have a hell of a time.  Life is short, Fuel prices are down and one word expresses the good time you will have--- PRICELESS!
THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 7 WEEKS LEFT TILL THE OFFICIAL "SEBN" BUS RALLY!  OK, I promise if you wish for me not to discuss politics when you come if that will work.  I am running out of Ideas here.  Only kidding, We all look forward to your attending, ALL ARE WELCOME!!
