New Jersey Performance Powerboat Club announces their 2009 Schedule!
Toms River, NJ, November 21, 2008 - The New Jersey Performance Powerboat Club (NJPPC) Planning Committee met last month to review the 2008 Season as well as develop the upcoming 2009 Season schedule. The NJPPC Planning Committee headed by club President Dave Patnaude, meets regularly throughout the year and makes all major decisions that impact NJPPC. The Planning Committee plays a huge roll in schedule planning, event rule changes, new event ideas and most importantly how to execute all of the club’s events. The Planning Committee is also well balanced in regard to the Committee members and the types of boats that they own. This ensures that all members of NJPPC are fairly represented when event planning takes place.
Last month the Planning Committee decided on the following events for the 2009 season:
Saturday February 7th 2009 - Atlantic City Boat Show Winter Party
Our 10th YEAR for this annual event allows members old and new to get together for the first time since the end of the boating season the previous year. It is a casual evening with elegant dining where we celebrate friendships and honor a few special members from last year’s season.
Sunday May 24th 2009 - Memorial Day Weekend Social
This annual event has proven to be a fun and relaxing one. It is also the first event of the boating season! No pre-planning and no advance registration is needed. Members come together at the Captain’s Inn in Forked River NJ for an afternoon of good food, good times and some “busting chops” since it is the first time we get together as a group for the new boating season!
Friday June 26th 2009 - Atlantic City Overnight Poker Run
This annual event has been the epicenter of the NJPPC schedule since it’s inception back in 1998. Two years ago, we moved this event to a Friday instead of Saturday. The result? A 95% approval rating from the attendees!! Half of the participants went home on Saturday. The other half spent the weekend at Trump Marina and had a “Lunch Fun Run” to Lamberti’s in Margate. This year we will repeat 2008’s event. POWERBOAT MAGAZINE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT THIS YEAR! We will also have Tim Sharkey hanging out of a helicopter once again to cover all of the action with his ZOOM lens!
Saturday July 4th 2009 - Wave Runner Poker Run
This past year we had over 40+ Wave Runners at each NJPPC Wave Runner event. These events have been a huge success and have grown every year. This event is the first of two Wave Runner Poker Runs for the 2009 season.
Saturday July 11th 2009 - Raft Up – Tices Shoals
This was another new “outside the box” event that we tried for the first time in 2006. Our record was 25 boats in 2007. This year, we are looking to break that record! This is another event that requires no pre-planning and no advance registration. The day consists of great food and drink, laughs and unlimited swimming and rafting fun!
Saturday July 18th 2009 - Shore Dreams For Kids
This event which was originally started by the Day on the Bay Foundation in the 70’s. Since then this events has put smiles on 1,000’s of Special Olympians as well as mentally and physically challenged children, special needs children, and their families. This event offers a day of entertainment which includes a “carnival atmosphere” complete with games and small rides, an antique & classic car display, food and drinks, live entertainment and performance powerboat rides on Barnegat Bay at the Jersey Shore. The boat rides are conducted by local performance powerboat owners who volunteer their time and boats to share with those less fortunate. This is definitely a DO NOT MISS event!
Saturday August 1st 2009 - Roar At The Shore Poker Run
We brought this event back last year after a several year hiatus. The NJPPC Planning Committee decided to bring this event back in 2008 and it was a huge hit! The $199 entry fee + the beach party was a home run. This year – it will once again be a $199 entry fee event and we will go back to Jenkinson’s for the beach party!
Thursday August 20th – Monday 24th 2009 - NJPPC Chesapeake Bay Rendezvous'
This event was first tried in 2008. We had 10 boats and we spent 3 days exploring all the Chesapeake had to offer. The result = all participants said that “IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BOATING WEEKENDS THEY HAVE EVER HAD!” We had a self imposed speed limit of 65mph for the weekend and an incredible time was had by all. We polled several participants after the event and the group said “WE WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME NEXT YEAR!” So the result, is we have planned a 5 day – 4 night trip! The first night we will spend at the Baltimore Inner Harbor Marriott and then we will spend 3 nights at the Annapolis Waterfront Marriott. We will explore Balitmore, Annapolis, Knapps Narrows and St. Michaels this year. Stay tuned for more details on this event as we move into the 2009 season!!! (this event will be limited to 15 boats)
Saturday September 5th 2009 - Wave Runner Poker Run
This will be the second installment of what has become a very successful event for NJPPC and it will also serve as the last “official” event for NJPPC’s 2009 Season!
We are very excited about the 2009 schedule and we look forward to having another SAFE & FUN season where boating and friendships flourish!
