May 9

This year's event is scheduled for May 9. Mark it on your calendar so you won't forget. Need directions? We have them:

Directions to Coach’s cabin
(This keeps you off dirt roads until you turn to go to the cabin)

From Rockingham:

Take Hwy. 1 south to Cheraw. At the second stop light in Cheraw turn right onto
Hwy. 52 North and continue for 3.5 miles at which point you will see Midway Road on your left. Turn left onto Midway Road. You will immediately see a four-way intersection, continue straight on Midway Road for approximately 3 miles at which point you will see Orchard Road on your right. Turn right onto Orchard Road and continue for exactly 1 mile. At that point you will see a dirt road on your left ( also a sign saying Tree Farm ) that will take you to Coach’s cabin.

From Charlotte, Albemarle, Wadesboro:
Take Hwy 52 South out of Wadesboro and look for Midway Road when you get close to to Cheraw and follow the above directions. Coming from Wadesboro if you get to the Hwy. 9 Bypass on your right you just missed Midway Road by about 100 yards.

Keith McLester will be sending out a notice with details about the get-together as the date gets closer. E-mail Keith with your intentions so he can get a head count and let you know about lunch. Keith always gives Coach a head count and then they make a decision about having it catered or having a cookout.

If you go, please share your nhotos.
