5 miles (13 minutes) from Pond
Battle Pond
Fred Fletcher Memorial Park
707 North Main St, Statesboro GA 30458
Note: we will enter through the side gate. Take Lanier Road (just past the new parking lot) and look for the open cattle gate on the left heading up to the old barn.
Parking:
Parking will be along either side of the entrance drive (will be marked off with yellow rope) although it will be fine for a few cars at a time to drive up closer to the tent for unloading/offloading before returning to the parking area
Facilities:
There will be a 50' x 20' tent set up with 35 tables and chairs. Electricity will be available just outside the barn, and there is a working spigot on city water available as well. A port-a-john will be available by the barn area as well for the week of NATS. My workshop (only a block away) will also be open and available if needed.
Sunday:
The CD will begin ship check-ins at the pond starting at 9:00am
Captain's meeting will start Sunday evening around 7:30-8:00pm at the AirBnb Lodge where the CD (and several eboard) are staying. Nate Armstrong has offered to grill hotdogs at the Lodge for all those who desire so feel free to arrive anytime after 6pm to hang out and eat before the meeting. Recommend carpooling to reduce the # cars parking at the lodge.
Lodge address: 1640 Red Fern Lane Statsboro, GA

Wednesday:
All day: usual challenge battles (anyone planning a Cruiser Battle?!)
Icecream Sundae Bar (host: Brian and Mandy Koehler)
Drop by BrianK's place Wednesday evening for dessert. Shop will also be open for boat work. I live just one block from the pond so those planning Night Battle are welcome to have dessert and hang out until it is dark enough (address: 15 Northlake Dr Statesboro GA)
