Sycamore Scramble Hotel & Restaruant Plans

We have made the arrangements for the Sycamore Scramble Dinner and the Hotel for our Headquarters.  The hotel and dinner will be very close to the park entrance  The hotel has has a free shuttle that we can use to get to the airport and the many shops and restaurants in the Brier Creek development.  They will also add the park into the shuttle route schedule while we are there, but those details aren’t complete yet.

Dinner information:

The dinner will be held at the “Carolina Ale House” which is just a few blocks from the hotel.  (Brier Creek location in NC) It will start at 6:30 Saturday evening.  We have a room reserved for our group.  You can order from the menu, so there is no advance payment needed.  We do need to give the restaurant a reasonably accurate count so they can reserve the space, so please select the dinner on the registration form if you are planning to come and send us an email if you make any changes from the registration form that you submitted.

Hotel information:

The headquarters for the Sycamore Scramble will be the Hampton Inn at Brier Creek, Raleigh NC.  They have a shuttle to and from the airport and Brier Creek restaurants and stores as well as the Carolina Ale House where we are having our Saturday dinner.   They will have limited shuttle service to the meet site as well.  The hotel is  off of NC70, near the RDU airport and the entrance to William B.
