OK kiddies, here it is. The location for the AGF gathering in Jax, on December 10th 2005 is Oak Crest United Methodist Church, 5900 Ricker Rd., Jax., in the fellowship hall. the pastor is a good friend and has allowed us to use their facilities, he asked the obvious that we have no alcohol present, and clean up after ourselves. I'll stay and clean, and only ask that those attending kick a few bucks towards the church for the use of their building and electricity for the day. Lisa and I discussed the time, and decided on 11 AM until 5 PM, but that can basically be decided differently if need be. For those coming from out of town, there are a number of restaraunts nearby both the church and the motel.
For accomodations, I took the liberty of blocking a few rooms, but at the next exit up. Simply because the only motel at the same exit, well.. I rode through the parking lot and looked around, and frankly I wouldn't stay there and wouldn't expect you to either. ;) So the hotel is Hampton Inn, off Blanding Blvd in Orange Park. It is 5 miles from the church. The best rate I could get was $80.10 per night, based on our approximate group size (10% off $89). There are other hotels at that exit (Motel6, Laquinta Inn, Super8), I chose HI because Blanding is an incredibly busy traffic area, and that motel has easiest access in/out. Feel free to contact the others, but I don't have contact info, but just look for the Orange Park location for them if you decide to book there.
The info to give if you call Hampton, is confirmation number 88114743, and they were held in my name (Allen Shadd) if more info is needed. The other info is: Hampton Inn, 6135 Youngerman Circle, Jax Fl 32244, and the phone number is 904-777-5313.
As the time gets closer, I will post directions to both the motel and the church. There is also a back way between them so it is totally unnecessary to have to get on/off Blanding, once you are at the motel. I'll show the way from the motel when everybody gets here. I'll also PM my phone number to whoever might want it, as a backup plan. ;)
