2015 Surratt Conference

[L Verge]

About six weeks to go before the 2015 Surratt Conference and we are going great guns. This should be the largest turnout yet. We already have over 130 registrants, both of the special tours are filled, and we have had to add a second Booth Tour bus for Sunday's venture. The first bus, narrated by James Swanson, filled within ten days. We now have a second bus, narrated by one of our regulars, John Howard, running twenty minutes behind the first. It currently has 25 participants (50 seat capacity bus).

The hotel is filling up also, so please book rooms if needed. The rate goes up in mid-February, and there is a late-registration fee for the conference sessions after March 1 (now $175 - then $190). Seating capacity may be at a premium after we reach 140. After that, we may have to ask anyone under the age of 40 to sit on the floor in front of the speaker....just kidding, I think.

Colony South Hotel and Conference Center is just five minutes from Surratt House and the only facility within thirty miles that can provide sleeping rooms, meeting rooms, and banquet rooms with a full-time chef - all under one roof.
