Just a "few" things...
Here is the address and phone number:
The Chubb Hotel and Conference Center
309 Manor Road
Lafayette Hill, PA 19444
(610) 825-8000
http://chubbconferencecenter.com
Directions: From Tabernacle, NJ-Google Maps indicates it will take approximately 95 minutes via the Turnpike Bridge. So this may help you gauge your travel time for anyone who lives near me.
Arrival: Arrival at Chubb is Friday is 12:00 noon. No one is permitted to enter the crop rooms prior to 12:00 noon, except for vendors. No exceptions. Please make sure you bring or plan your lunch ahead of time, as we will not be eating dinner until 6:00 pm. We will be scrapbooking in the Lafayette Ballroom. Thursday arrivals: check in is anytime after 4:00 p.m. Dinner is not included in your Thursday night rate. Yes, it is probably too late to decide to arrive on Thursday as all of our lists have been finalized.
Parking/ check in: Official check-in is at 4:00 pm. But, you may check with the front desk to see if your room is ready. Check in is in the front of the building. You can touch base there when you arrive then will get back in your car to drive around to the back where the ballroom is (parking lot D is by the ballroom). You will unload your supplies here and then move your car out into the parking lot. If you'd rather just unload your supplies first and check in later, that is your prerogative. Please do not bring your suitcases or other personal such items into the crop room as we at just about maximum capacity and will have a lot of ladies arriving with their stashes.
Check out: Official check out time is at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. Please check out of your room and place your luggage in your vehicle before 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. No luggage should be brought to the crop room for storage; please place all luggage in your vehicles at the time of check out. The crop room will close at 5:00 p.m. Sunday. Please plan accordingly.
Meals: For Thursday night guests, breakfast is a buffet and served in the Marquis Ballroom from 7:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. On Saturday and Sunday, breakfast is continental and will be served inside or quite near the crop room (Lafayette) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Lunch will be located in the Marquis Ballroom from 12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Dinner will be served in the Marquis Ballroom from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. If you are not arriving until after 8:30 p.m. on Friday, we must know before Wednesday so that we can make arrangements for your meal to be prepared for you (some sort of sandwich platter will be held for you as there is no room service at this hotel.)
Luggage Carts: There are luggage carts available. I will inquire about having some towards crop room for our use. I cannot guarantee that this will happen.

Luggage Carts: There are luggage carts available. I will inquire about having some towards crop room for our use. I cannot guarantee that this will happen.
Registration: Please stop by the hotel registration desk for your sleeping room assignments and room keys. Please go to the SAG registration table at the scrapbooking area before starting to scrap.
Internet service: There is internet service throughout the hotel. There will be login/password information available if needed.
Crop Space/Lighting: Any of you who have attended scrapbooking events at large hotels in the past know that the lighting in large rooms can be dim in some areas and bright in others. Chubb is no different. Your group may want to bring a floor or table lamp and extension cords (the longer the better) to insure you have adequate lighting for your space. Ott Lights are perfect for scrapping. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is better to be prepared so you can take full advantage of this weekend away. Each scrapper will be provided a 4 foot cropping space for the weekend.
Extension Cords: The electrical outlets are very wide-spread. Please remember to bring electrical cords and power strips for you and your friends. We will do our best to make sure all tables have electric. We can be quite creative if necessary.
Dress: Please dress in layers. Sometimes it is cool, sometimes it is warm. Don't forget your slippers. We have 24-hour scrapping, so you can scrap in your jammies if you want. There is no need to worry about your scrap stuff as there is usually someone scrapping at all times. However, I recommend bringing your electronic devices (phones, laptops, iPads, cameras, etc.) up with you when you go to your room, especially since we are in a much bigger venue than we generally are.
Music: Please bring headphones for your radio/music or keep your table music low.
Electronic Cutting Systems: If you have a Cricut or some other cutting system, you may want to bring a small table (like a tv/snack table). I cannot guarantee that there will be an extra spot or tables available for your tools. I will try to accommodate your sitting areas for the extra table as long as it does not interfere with aisles/exits.
Church: There are several churches in the area. Please check with the front desk for this information.
Alcohol: Will be available at an onsite bar for purchase. Please tip your bartender well for good service.
Clothing (T-shirts and Sweatshirts) Sale: For all of you who ordered clothing on Facebook, if possible please bring cash with you for payment. I will also accept checks.
Drinking/Eating at your scrap tables: Please be careful - you don't want any spills on your work or your neighbor's work. A covered travel cup/mug is highly recommended. Coffee breaks (soft drinks, warm drinks, ice water and snacks) will be provided during the days. Please bring your travel cups.
Entertainment: The hotel facility provides a fitness area for your use. Maggie Christy of Muse's Touch and Jen Cox of Ocean Massage, will be available for massages. Please sign up early via the FB posts to ensure your best selection for time.
Each pod of tables will be set with a waste basket. Please clean up your scrap area periodically, so Laura, Donna and I do not have to. Remember, anything left behind will be photographed and posted on Facebook. Retrieval of any "lost" items will be your responsibility.
Rooms: You do not have to bring any linen, unless you have a special pillow/pillowcase. All rooms include a Keurig coffee maker, in-room safe, refrigerator, and flat screen television. The bathroom features a simple tub/shower combination with sample size toiletries and hair dryer.
Vendors: We will have several vendors on the premises. If you forget or need something, don't worry - it should be there for purchase. The vendors will have Tally sheets available, so you can "settle" with them at the end of the weekend. You may also let your friends/family know that if they would like to shop with our vendors, they can do so on Saturday between 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm. The vendors are: CM, CTMH, Stampin' Up, Kiwi Lane, Scrap and Beads, Paparazzi, 31 (Saturday only), Chaulk Couture (Saturday only), Page Kits by Debbie (Sunday only), LuLaRoe (by Kristin Boyden – Saturday only), massages by Maggie Christy of Muse's Touch throughout the weekend and Ocean Massage Therapy (chair massages by Jen Cox on Saturday only). I hope I didn't forget anyone. If I did, I apologize.
Classes: Several of our vendors will have classes (for a fee) available to you. Please take advantage of this opportunity to learn/try new things. Take a look at each vendor's classes and sign up when you arrive.
Door prizes: There will be door prizes and gifts from S*A*G and our vendors (Chinese auction). You will receive 5 tickets for attending S*A*G and you can "earn" ADDITIONAL tickets by attending classes and purchasing from our vendors.
Facebook: If you haven't joined our Facebook page, please do so. This is a very easy way for me to inform scrappers of upcoming events and scrapbooking specials. Here is the link: S*A*G FACEBOOK GROUP
If you have any concerns with the hotel/banquet facility/staff, please bring it to MY attention. I cannot address it and correct it if I do not know about it.
Okay, I think that's it. If you have any questions that I haven't covered, please let me know. Here is my cell phone number if you need to contact me - 609-781-0508. Laura, Donna and I are heading over on Thursday night.
We are looking forward to a fun weekend!!! Can't wait to scrap with you!
