Vertifly 0 #2 May 5, 2004 Pro Swoop Tour Check out the schedule here. Depending on time/day of arrival, I may be able to do it. Otherwise, check with someone else from XKeys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diveout 0 #3 May 5, 2004 Yea, I've seen that info, I was wondering if someone had anything further like the schedule for the event itself between the 30th and the 4th. I guess that will be upcoming in the next couple of weeks. Last year there was online registration and everything. I was planning to fly in on the 28th or the 29th, I still havn't booked an acutal flight yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #4 May 5, 2004 Give Crosskeys a call. They probably have the skinny. Feel free to contact me on here closer to the event regarding a ride. It would be easier for me to know about a week ahead of time. GLUCK!

You can reach them at (609) 522-0331 tel (609) 522-2018 fax or www.daysinnwildwood.com. There are four different room styles available ranging from $150 - $300 per night. The rooms can sleep 6 and all have kitchenettes. There were a few slots left at Beachcomber Camping Resort just on the outskirts of town that looked good for RV's, but has almost the same cost for tents. They can be reached at (609) 886-6035 tel (609) 886-0289 fax or 1-800-233-0150 or [email protected] - www.beachcombercamp.com. Competitors and other attendees are urged to make arrangements for accommodations ASAP as the area is known for booking up early for the July 4th weekend. Remember, Wildwood is D license minimum.
