Sanduners Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Our club put on the first 3 annual Glamis Poker Run's (6th Annual - Sat. Nov. 4th, 2006) and had huge success with them! In the 3 years we sponsored it, we raised over $15K for those OHV organizations we support. (ASA, CORVA, SDORC) The poker run is now sponsored by the Orange County ATV Association a much larger club than ours. If our club was to sponsor a Dumont Dunes Poker Run and the donations went to the Friends of Dumont Dunes organization to help fund the projects they are working on, would you participate? If you have never done a poker run in an OHV setting you should try it, lots of fun!!! Poker Run Info I want to get a little feedback first before approaching the club about this... (this is WORK for them and they might think I'm :mc_smiley: ...... (and they just may be right... ) thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Sounds like a great idea and lots of fun, Jim. :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 The cool thing about glamis is when you do a poker run you have such large distances between dealers... With dumont i can only see 4 dealers and it would be a short game if you know what i mean. 1 Dealer at the North pole 1 Dealer at the South pole 1 Dealer at Comp/Banshee hill 1 Dealer in the little dunes ?? 1 dealer at the river crossing ?

I was gonna mention that too since Dumont's square mile area is pretty small and doesn't have too many "named land marks". Either way, it would be fun. Time to start naming some more areas of Dumont! :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross and Alice Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 V8 rail was involved in Dumont poker runs if I remember, perhaps it was with FODD as well, I forget. But I do remember they quit because of insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys of V8Rail (Stephan and Thomas) are part of FoDD. :mc_smiley: It sucks insurance is needed for such an event that is intented to raise money for a good cause.

dinicolada Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think a poker run would be great, maybe if you did it with family (kids) in mind you might get more peaple involved like 5 bucks for kids and have small prizes for them too just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don29palms Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 That would be cool if it was like $20 for the first hand and $10 for extra hands. That way if you have kids riding in the car they can play too. Or if someone wanted to play more than one hand at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanduners Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Jim you are , but in a good way. A poker run sound like fun and a great way to make some $$$. But it is lots of work. Jon, in the sand it is really much easier to do, no trails to mark. Unlike the Glamis Poker Run (GPR) as some have said, the checkpoints could each have a game to play, one for the adults, one for the kids under 12 maybe? That is needed to break a possible same hand. Prizes too for adults & kids and maybe a lower price per hand for the kids like $5.00 a hand, I like that... I think the hardest part of this poker run would be where to make the ending place location. We use Boardmanville at Glamis to end the GPR at, a great place to hang out. We would need a good spot at Dumont to do the same. Maybe work with the regular vendors and make it there??? Insurance is a HUGE expense of a "legal" poker run. Each of the GPR's we did it the right way, insurance and BLM permits. The insurance I assume would be about the same, $1000 - 1200. But we have wonderful people at the BLM Barstow office to work with that I know pretty good. I'm sure I could get the permit needed too. 1 Dealer at the North pole1 Dealer at the South pole 1 Dealer at Comp/Banshee hill 1 Dealer in the little dunes And those are the checkpoint locations I was thinking about too but not one at the river crossing, (to hard packed) the final checkpoint at the ending location like we do for the GPR. The difference in doing a "dune" poker run,,, YOU decide the path to take and the time to get to the next checkpoint... and just how you drive... FYI...We had 304 poker hands sold at the 1st Annual Glamis Poker Run,,, the next year it went to 654 So they do catch on quick and I've never heard a bad thing about any of the 5 GPR's... :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanduners Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 I used to belong to a mini-truck club back in the late 70's early 80's (gosh, I'm old... ) and we used to do ralleys runs all the time. At those checkpoints they would have a contest or game to play. I think we could have one checkpoint with a golf theme,,, like put a round target about 30' away and give points to where you land it... yes, the ending must be located near a bathroom... good thought...
