SCARR 2008

Texas Rovers has reserved the entire park at Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area to mark the “5th Year Anniversary” of the South Central Area Rover Rally. The committee has added an extra day to this exciting family event to be held from Thursday, April 17th thru Sunday, April 20th. Land Rover enthusiasts from far and wide are invited to participate in or be introduce to off-roading, camping and other planned outdoor activities during this four day event. There will plenty of activities for both adults and children.

We are expecting a large attendance thanks to the SCARR 2007 event being in both Land Rover World and Land Rover Monthly and Texas Rovers being recently featured as “Club of the Month” in Land Rover Monthly.

Additional information will be posted as the event nears. Look forward to seeing you there.

Beat me to posting this. It's going to be the best ever. We're closing down the park just for the rally and are extending the event to 4 full days. Lots of time to trail ride and hang out with friends.

Chris, your avatar gives me the creeps.......

Ok, a bit more info.....

SCARR registration fees go up on March 15th, so register online asap!!!!

This year, we have rolled all the fees into the single SCARR fee, so what you pay for your registration is all it will cost you - you will not have to pay anything else at the park.

Sounds like you need a better info source. The guided trail runs are for people who prefer that "structured" guided run with people who know the trails and will provide spotting. Anyone attending SCARR is free to run what ever trails they want, whenever they want with in the parks curfew hours, with who ever they want. No one has to run with the provided guided groups.

Ok then, I'll be there.

Texas Rovers SCARR 2008 - The 5th Annual South Central Area Rover Rally
April 17th - 20th, 2008, Barnwell mountain Recreational Area, Gilmer, TX
Celebrating 60 years of Land Rover

This year, Texas Rovers has reserved Barnwell for 4 days (April 17th-20) exclusively for SCARR 2008, and the park will be closed to the General Public. In doing this we have been able to extend the rally from 3 days to 4 days. Also, we have rolled ALL of the fees - SCARR + Barnwell Mountain Daily Use and Camping Fees into one fee. You will NOT have to pay any other fees when you reach the rally!

For the Vehicle & Driver: ($80 Texas Rover’s Member/$95 Non-Members) this fee covers the park rental, t-shirts, and three meals.
Passenger fee: ($25) covers the three meals and t-shirt for the vehicle passenger.
Children under 12 are free and their meals are covered by donated funds, but T-shirts are $15 extra for the under 12 crowd.
Early registration ends March 14th. All registrations after March 15th incur a $35 Late Registration Fee.

5. If you are planning on bringing an RV or towing a trailer and plan on camping at Camp Mabey, please clearly indicate this when registering. You will be contacted and offered an alternative route to the camp. Since all the campsites will be available to attendees this will NOT apply if you plan to use the site near the pavilion with electrical hookups or another campsite. If you plan on using another campsite on the property, please be respectful of the site and try to leave it cleaner than you found it.

6. Guided trail runs (with trail leaders and spotter) of groups ranging from novice to advanced experience, will be offered for those that would like to join them. If you already are with a group of friends, you're welcome to explore the park at your own pace.

7. Unregistered attendees will be charged $50 per day + passenger fee and cannot be guaranteed meals or an event T-Shirt.

Also, the Texas Rovers will also be collecting donations of canned meats (e.g. tuna, chicken, beef, salmon), canned fruit and plastic containers of peanut butter during SCARR. Please bring your can items to the registration booth where we will have two bins to place your donations. Let's show the community of East Texas how Texas Rovers can give back to the community.

In case you have not yet registered, SCARR Registration will close on Monday, April 7th at Midnight.

I guess after asking for it 4 months ago, you can now disregard making this a sticky.
