Being new to the forum means being new on how to make arangements for the reunion. do we make reservations at the Kirkley hotel or will there be other accomodations available if these are booked up? also,does it matter if you are not a member of the fan club? I have tried to join but have been unsuccessful in linking up. Is there aan address I might be missing? "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Any suggestions? Heather is correct with her info. You do not have to be a member of the Waltons Fan Club in order to attend the reunion. Last year I made my hotel reservations in late March at the Kirkley. That was after Carolyn told us the info about it. Since we haven't heard yet from her on this, I assume she hasn't set up the special Walton discount yet with the hotel...but it wouldn't hurt anything to go ahead & call the Kirkley to see (then you can let us all know if the special rate has already been set up). It is usually in July when Carolyn lets us know that she needs our names & addresses so she can email or snail mail out the reservation forms to us for the Waltons Reunion Dinner. The deadline to get your money & form has been being at the end of August. If you definitely want to make sure you get a reservation for the dinner, you need to get your money in ASAP. Last year it was $70.00 a person. The problem that happened last year was a few people thought you had to wait until you made the dinner reservation in order to make the hotel reservation. So when they tried to make the hotel reservation in July and/or August, all the special discounted rooms were booked. The last two years as soon as Carolyn let us know which hotel it was being held at & what kind of discount to ask for...I have immediately made my reservation. Just like Nicolle said you can always cancel your hotel reservation up until 24 hours before check in. But it would be very neighborly if you came on the forum to offer your room to someone here if you do have to cancel.

What were the general thoughts on the hotel itself? The online reviews seem to be mixed (thin walls being my primary concern when reading them). Anybody have any issues?

Okay everybody...I took the plunge and called the Kirkley Hotel. They do NOT have it set up in their system yet for a Waltons Fan Reunion discount. So we will have to wait for Carolyn to give us the message that it has been arranged.

I'm so sad to report that due to my new job as manager and being in charge I won't be able to have the time off to go to the reunion this year I really do hope those who are going all have a wonderful time, and if Michael does attend, someone would be nice enough to get me a photo autograph for me? I'm so sorry

I'm sorry that as of right now you cannot go. Keep your fingers crossed, don't give up hope...maybe it will happen.

Maybe, and believe me when I say I have everything crossed that I can make it.
Are you going Kimberley?

I'm a little late to all the excitement, but I did see the announcement when Carolyn first made it over at Facebook!! I most certainly plan to be attending this year and seeing you all again!! I missed last year and missed you all so much, and all the fun you guys got to have without me, won't let that happen this year! As for Richard, I'd love to see him attend this year! but like most have said, I know his schedule is full from time to time, but I plan to drop him a note this next week and at least bring it to his attention and all the info, so if he isn't doing anything that weekend, perhaps he'll pop in for a surprise visit Look forward to seeing as many of you as I can this year! and like past years, if you see me walking around, feel free to run up and say hi, most I will recognize by your face from past reunions, but for those who I've not seen your face or it's been a while if you missed a reunion or two since 2010, forgive me if I don't recognize you, but I'm sure I will once we start talking!

Wondering why there isn't a show on TV today that even comes close to the quality of the Waltons?

My hubby and I are hoping to attend the 2014 reunion if at all possible. We have been to Schuyler twice but never to a Virginia reunion. I would love to meet all of you great forum posters for the very first time!
