The meeting is coming up on June 10th. According to the newsletter, it begins at 11:00 followed by lunch at noon. I thought I'd start a poll to see who is going and if there is interest in a TUG meetup after lunch for our local non-Seapointe owners. I only have a one bedroom but that would allow me two additional guests - perhaps others could do the same? Let's see who is interested - it would be fun to meet our SoCal neighbors.

FYI - The only reason for the owner/non-owner poll choices is to get a "guest" headcount to make sure that we could get everyone in. Alternatively, we could do another date for everyone.

I believe I am attending. I am heading out very early the next day for a mother/daughter trip. If I still have a lot to do to get ready for that, I won't go to the meeting. I won't know until the day before. If I do attend, I'd love to see everyone. I would be interested in meeting on another date whether or not I attend the meeting.

I'm an owner, but live in Washington, and am not able to attend. Maybe next year. Have fun!

I'll send Greg a message. He isn't a Seapointe owner but lives in Carlsbad. Ian perhaps but I haven't seen him post in a while.

OK kids. Here's the latest.

It looks like we have about 10 attending. If you are bringing someone it could be higher - and feel free to bring anyone who would enjoy talking timeshares, lol. It looks like we have plenty of owners to get guests in.

Katherine (klpca) + Art (owners)
Presley (owner)
buzglyd (owner)
SmithOp (owner)
rhonda (non-owner will need to check in with one of the owners)
skimble (owner?)
b2bailey (owner?)
GregT (non-owner will need to check in with one of the owners)

Anyone else? If you have been on the fence, you are welcome to join us. Feel free to comment in the thread or pm me if you would like to attend. You don't need to be an owner, just a tugger.

Here is the Seapointe meeting schedule from the newsletter:
  • Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 11:00am PDT, Carlsbad Seapointe Resort, Annual Owners’ Meeting
  • Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 12:00pm PDT, Carlsbad Seapointe Resort, Lunch and Owner Expo
I have never been to the owners meeting so I am unsure what the Owner Expo is and how long it lasts - can someone help me here with the best time to start our meetup? Maybe 1:00ish? Later? Do we need time for them to clear out the pool area?

I'm sending out a pm to get people's real names. :)

More to come...

The owner Expo is basically GPX and RCI along with some other vendors will have booths set up. They even offer sales on the same items they put in the new units. I bought a brand new mattress a few years back at the HOA rate. It was a great deal.

I think 1 PM would be good. The GOFs will have been fed and will scatter shortly after that. We should have plenty of poolside space following lunch.

I don't own but live up the street so would be interested in a meeting. Am trying to find an inexpensive EOY unit there for day use.

We'll need to pick a meeting spot since we're not all familiar with each other.

These meetings get pretty packed. This year they're doing the meeting first followed by lunch.

I'm guessing the GOFs will scatter pretty quickly after they've had their fill.

If you haven't been, GP will have valet parking in front of Seapointe. The local streets don't offer much parking and it fills quickly.

I'll probably ride a motorcycle or scooter so I can Roll right to the front.

Well, this has now bubbled up to the top of my calendar for this week. Yay! My husband and I are looking forward to meeting everyone and putting names with faces.

To recap, we will meet at 1:00ish near the firepit right next to the quiet pool. I will be wearing a white baseball cap with the words "The Office" on the front of it (Cabo fans will know where this is from). Carlsbad peeps - do you think that we will see any sun this weekend? I'm inland a bit but we haven't been clearing here until almost noon. This year's marine layer is very heavy.

BYOB (no glass) and some good TUG talking points. I am a recent HGVC owner, so I am looking for insight into that system.

Again, anyone is welcome. Feel free to join in the fun.
