BTO Club 32nd Anniversary Celebration
Atlantic City -
June 23-26, 2010
The BTOC is going to Atlantic City, New Jersey next June and you need to get on-board now. The South Jersey Garden Railroad Society has planned a four-day celebration that will be a reminder of the convention extravaganzas of years past.
The SJGRS has put together a fantastic convention program including: a bus tour of members’ garden railroads, vendor hall, train ride, informative clinics, raffles, door prizes and much more.
The 2010 convention will be held at the beautiful Clarion Hotel & Convention Center, Atlantic City West, located just minutes from the world famous beaches and Boardwalk. Special room rates will be available for BTOC attendees. Contact the hotel directly at (800) 782-9237 and mention the
SJGRS/BTOC to receive these special rates. Free breakfast included.
Enjoy a 30-mile round trip between Richland and Tuckahoe on the Cape May Seashore Lines. Ride the original equipment operated in South Jersey by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, the Reading Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad.
This is shaping up to be a convention that you will want to add some extra days to your trip to enjoy the Jersey Shore and the surrounding area.
Save the dates-—June 23-26, 2010—and make your plans for “Runnin’ Trains on the Jersey Shore!”
