The Northern California Fall Van Meetup is on Saturday, November 6th. It is being held at the brand new Dumbarton Quarry Campground in Fremont from 11:30 to 4, with option to camp! This event for Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster DIY vans. Due to East Bay Park rules we've had to reserve a paid area, and we'll also be serving a welcome barbecue lunch with a vegan option. We are strictly limited to the first 40 vans to formally RSVP, and no day-of attendance is available. To help offset the East Bay Parks fee and barbecue lunch costs, we're asking for $10 for each person attending, not per van.
This will be a casual get-together. As mentioned, we'll start with lunch on a large grass area, (bring your own chair and drinks), followed by an opportunity for everyone to tell folks about their vans. If you have special tips, tricks, or learnings to share we want to hear it. Anything to swap, give away or sell feel free to bring it along as well.
RSVP
To secure your spot send $10 via Venmo (only). Click: bit.ly/FallVanFest
Make sure to include your full name(s) and email in the note area. We need this information to send you any updates/changes, and info on where to park your van upon arrival. (Surprisingly, I had over 63 van owners, that missed the Spring meetup, send me messages asking to attend the next one. So don't miss out).
CAMPING
At our meetup in Livermore in February, everyone asked for a camping option to be available. After you send your RSVP, feel free to make your camping reservation here: https://bit.ly/3mbdxoJ
(Book exactly 4 weeks in advance).
There is a group picnic table area in the campground for our use at dinner (bring your own), as well as an amphitheater. Open to your ideas for evening activities. Any musicians? Bring lanterns!
60 sites are paved and have hookups for water, sewage, and electricity. (Yes, I know that most of us need don't need hook-ups). 3 sites are water only and unpaved. The campground has restrooms, hot showers, picnic tables.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We need your help in making this a great event. We need 10 -12 volunteers to help with setup, parking the vans safely, prepping salads, cooking hamburgers, and welcoming attendees with name tags. This simply won't work without your assistance. When you make your Venmo RSVP, add a note to let us know you can arrive early to lend a hand.
