We've only been in GBCA for eight months. Is it foolish to inquire where the Commodores Ball will be held?
I've never signed up for anything unless I knew what I was signing up for!

What time does the Commodores Ball start and is this a dinner thing or just trophy presentation. Is it semi formal, black tie, etc. etc. Thanks!

Glad you asked Eric. The Commodore's Ball will be from 6:00PM--11:00PM. The attire will be semi-formal. Most men will be wearing suits, or slacks with suit jackets and ties. Some will even wear tuxes. Most women will be wearing dresses or pant suits. We try to get everyone away from "racing attire".
The event will include happy hour, dinner, awards and dancing. It's ALWAYS a good time!!!
Hope to see you there

Darn Kathlyn. I was going to show up in Lederhosen with my Tyrolean Hat, socks, suspenders, and a stein. Now I'm not sure I should come.

You can be the floor show!

OOPS, Just tried on the Lederhosen. Something tends to flop over the top of the waist band. I seem to remember that these things fit. I'll have to reconsider.

Thanks for the details Kathlyn. We will probably register soon!

Kathlyn · December 28, 2009, 09:19:04 AM

Bee...for you we will make an exception. This is a sight we may (or may not) want to see!

ChrisA · December 28, 2009, 12:22:58 PM

Oh, come on Kathlyn. Don't encourage him!

Bee, That is some suit.

Keep your eye pealed, you should be getting invites in the mail very soon.
Of course, you don't have to be a member to be part of the fun February 27th.

Sign your whole crew up!

A reminder once again. February 27th is the Commodore's Ball. You do not have to be a member to attend. We have extended the deadline to February 12th for the $50.00 fee. For those of you who may think this is a typical GBCA after race social gathering...it is not! This is a semi-formal event with a catered meal, full bar (ok, basically a full bar) and live entertainment by Robert Frith. We will also be handing out the awards for the 2009 Rum Race Series, 2010 Icicle Series and 2009 Perpetual Awards. Please sign up early as it does help out with the head count for catering and bar.

Thanks,
Kathlyn
