Dave,
I have a couple of ice chests I will bring for the drinks or whatever.
I will make up a sign to put on the front gate of the Club, which indicates that the gate should remain open over the weekend (until Sunday afternoon) due to the ARRL Radio Field Day special event.
Congratulations on Friday's upcoming event. I plan to be there.

Stay on Rousby Hall Road through the Lusby town center light to the traffic circle (near Patuxent High School.) Take the 3rd exit from the traffic circle (staying on Rousby Hall Road Rt 260.) Go about 2 miles then turn left on Barreda Blvd (at the Drum Point sign) Turn right staying on Barreda Blvd after about a block. Follow Barreda about a mile. It will bear left and change name to Overlook Drive. Follow Overlook to the gate and dirt road leading to the Drum Point Clubhouse at 465 Overlook Drive, Lusby MD 20657.

Drum Point will be having their annual meeting in the clubhouse for a while in the morning but we can set up antennae and stations outdoors until they are done. We will need a few folks to stay after it's done to tear down and pack up.
