Re: Cars & Coffee at Williamsburg, VA
September 24th CANCELLED, due to weather conditions!
"Hello All... In lieu of waiting another day to announce the obvious - weather once again affecting our event making this call Necessary...
Our delay date of 24 Sept is now officially cancelled. The forecast indicate the rain will be coming down in buckets for the next 2 1/2 days preventing mowing and so the grounds simply won't support our event in these conditions.
See you in October on the 15th. SORRY..."

Re: Cars & Coffee at Williamsburg, VA
INFO is out on Twitter - for those of you looking for it there... BTW - I am posting event news on 3 facebook pages, 15 forums, and on the front pages of our website... and now - on twitter too... I had some spare time on my hands. I wish there were one place where I could make an announcement - and everyone could find it. It seems impossible. I still found myself sitting in front of the winery Saturday morning for an hour to greet folks who showed up anyway... We're making the effort.
Please check the website at www.carsandcoffeewilliamsburg.com on the night before an event when poor weather threatens. Thank you! C&C WMBG

Re: Cars & Coffee at Williamsburg, VA
Facebook (as much as I hate to say it) and Twitter are the best ways to get the word out. Just direct people to those pages bigtime and it'll be cake from now on. ALSO you could always hotlink an image from your site and change the image but keep the filename the same so it's always updated on all the forums and such.

CARS & COFFEE WILLIAMSBURG - ANNOUNCEMENT
For those interested in Cars & Coffee Williamsburg - you may have noticed on Facebook yesterday that I posted the November event location as: To be Announced. Effective Oct 17th with the concurrence of Jose and Russ - I sent an email terminating our association with The Williamsburg Winery. While it was for the most part - cool to hold our event there, it had it's obvious drawbacks... Waivers, Tall grass, Uneven terrain, Soft ground, etc. etc. etc. We parted amicably.
At this point it has yet to be determined where the November event may be located. We are currently in communication with 2 different venues, possibly a 3rd. I learned much about the needs of our patrons during our short stint at TWW. A decent cup of coffee with a place to rest indoors, paved parking, and easier access. Rest assured our new location will include all three - among other things made more obvious to me as a result of our move there. All these things and numerous others made me take a hard look at how much we've changed since our humble beginning. Such a disparity made the need for a move to stark to be ignored..
Cars & Coffee Williamsburg wishes to thank all those who have joined us for a morning or two in the past... for your patience and continued support during this time of transition. Please look for us on Facebook & at our website: www.carsandcoffeewilliamsburg.com for information in the coming weeks as to our new location. We hope to see you all again real soon.
Regards

Williamsburg, VA 23185
Phone: (757) 220-1473

"The Coffee House": owned an operated by Adrienne Benbow, has graciously accepted our invitation to host our monthly event beginning in November and going forward. At the Coffee House, You'll find a warm and inviting establishment with a friendly staff willing to meet your coffee and breakfast menu needs just off our expansive, public, Paved, lot with plenty of room to grow.
The owner of University Square made only one request regarding parking on their property: that we Do Not utilize the spaces directly in front of the Blooms grocery store. Rest assured there is plenty of parking adjacent to Blooms as this location is likely the largest paved location in Williamsburg!
Come one - Come all and bring what you're proud of!
See you on the 19th in Williamsburg
