This is a re-send. If you got it already, sorry, but I got a returned
message note from my server.

> Sorry for the delay but here's most of the preliminary information that

>
> Tigers United XXIII will be held June 26, 27 and 28 (Friday, Saturday
> and Sunday), at Big Bear Lake, California.
>
> Event headquarters is the beautiful Northwoods Resort in Big Bear Lake.
> This is a modern, very nicely appointed hotel located right in the newer
> area of town in a shopping and dining resort area. There is plenty of
> parking, including space right across the street for trailers.
>
> If you are planning on coming, and we hope you are, make your hotel
> reservations as soon as possible.
> Sixteen rooms have been reserved already by Rootesers and we don't want
> to run out. Sixty rooms have been reserved for us and will be held
> until June 11. Rates until then are $79 per night. After that, I'm not
> sure what the rates are but they will be higher. Also, the hotel will
> not guarantee they'll hold rooms for our event past that date, so make
> your reservations soon. The phone number for hotel reservations is
> (800)866-3121. Tell them you are with Tigers United or the Sunbeam
> event. Be sure to ask for a "pool side" room if keeping an eye on your
> car in the nearby parking lot is important to you. There are only so
> many of these, so don't procrastinate. Also, be sure to specify a
> smoking or non-smoking room.
>
> Primary events will take place on Saturday and Sunday but Jane, Carrie
> the CAT dog and I will set things up starting Friday. The primary Friday
> evening "thing" will be registration, tall tale telling about Tigers,
> Alpines and other Rootes cars, and a Rootes video show in the
> "hospitality suite" (mainly our hotel room, into which we'll cram as
> many people who will fit in to watch the movies!). Late arrivals will be
> able to register on Saturday morning.
>
> Saturday, the main events get underway with the concours and swap meet
> and vendor sales in the morning. Both will take place in the hotel
> parking lot. Lunch will be supplied. Next is everyone's "favourite", the
