Hello Everyone,
The second annual Midwinter Meet here in the warm,
sunny South will take place the weekend of January 14 thru 17, 2005 in Biloxi,
MS. We are pleased (THRILLED) to announce the meet will be held at the
historic Broadwater Beach Resort Hotel! When we traveled to Biloxi two
weeks ago and visited this facility, I knew instantly it was where the meet
should be held. It was built in 1939 and has received renovations and
additions over the years. It was THE destination hotel until all the
casinos began appearing on the scene in the '90s. Presidents and other
dignitaries have stayed here over the years and it was the scene of many an
important social event along the Mississippi Gulf Coast for decades! The
grounds, pool and rooms are vintage but very nice and comfortable. The
vintage part is what really sold us on this hotel and is
why we want to hold the meet here as opposed to the newer casino
hotels. You feel as though you have stepped back into the sixties when you
drive up to the front door! The pool and terrace look like something right
out of 1960s Las Vegas! I am not exaggerating. The ballroom (we are
planning to have dinner there the Saturday evening of the meet) is not to be
believed. The room is round and VERY sixties!
You may contact the Broadwater to make reservations
by calling 800 843-7737. Please indicate you are making your reservation
for the Midwinter Vintage Car Meet so you will be put with the entire
group. Also they have given us a discounted room rate so it is doubly
important that you mention the group you will be with.
Also, please feel free to contact either Russell or
me (Greg) with any questions you may have. We are looking forward to
seeing all the regulars from Anniston and hopefully some new faces as
well. These meets are so much fun and a great opportunity to meet
fellow Imperial owners as well as other vintage car
enthusiasts. If driving to southern Mississippi is not feasible,
please consider flying to New Orleans and renting a car for the short drive to
the Broadwater (I'm guessing here but maybe an hour and a half
drive). The main thing is that you join us for this long weekend (MLK) in
mid January. It will be a weekend you won't soon forget!
Best regards,
Greg McDonnell
