Lodging for 2010 State Championship Tournament in Melbourne, Florida.  John Peplinski received an E-mail from the Days Inn in Melbourne (the designated motel for the Horseshoe Championships) that the hotel expects a “sell out” over the weekend of April 23rd due to another group staying there with the Days Inn.  Due to this, could we possibly get the word out to our membership that they recommend we make our reservations as soon as possible and even before our cut off date of April 5th.  Credit cards will be required to hold reservations but not charged.  Guests always have the option to cancel up until the day before, without penalty.  Better to have a reservation than not have one and need it, right?  Days Inn phone number is:  321-724-2051.
