[NoVa-Corvairs] preregistration update

[rvtum at verizon.net]

Curt,

For those that show up on Friday & Saturday and cannot get a room at the BW, there are several hotels here in Sterling.  Its just about 12-15 miles away from Leesburg.  The Hampton Inn on Rt 28 in Sterling has rooms that weekend for $119.00.
