Woodwards Resort
527 US Route 3
Lincoln, NH
800.635.8968


Once again the people of Woodwards are looking forward to our return and they offered us a rate of $119.00, which is $1 more than last year. They have a meal plan which is $32.00 per person and includes dinner and breakfast. If any of you had this last year, it really is a great deal. The prime rib was awesome and they even offered lobster.

20 rooms are reserved. When making reservations, use the code NEMC. Anyone at the front desk can help you. They REQUIRE full payment when making the reservation. That is their policy so we have to deal with it. If opting for the meal plan, that is paid for at check-in.

There is a new stop proposed now as well.

" I mentioned to Chuck some time ago about the possibility of our group riding Loon Mountain's gondola to their 2,750' summit on the way out of Lincoln. It's a 30 minute round trip ride, and allowing maybe 30 minutes at the summit, it could be done in an hour. As a Loon employee, I talked to a group sales person today, and if we're a group of forty'ish, I can get tickets for $6 per person (normally $15!) Check out their website at loonmtn.com. Plenty of parking for some group shots. The 200+ Mini Cooper group starts their Mt. W thing from there, and Loon even fixes them up with the ability to wash their cars before they leave!"

Now, I know that last year our scenic tour went up Cathedral Ledge and this stop would substitute that stop. We barely found enough parking for just over 20 cars up there last year and I don't want to risk trying to fit close to 40 up there this year.

So....what do you guys think? Please post if you vote...just so we can track who is voting against who is attending. "
