Jam dates for 2014

[beth]

But the event dates ARE pretty important info... is there are Jamboree 2014 rep who can verify the dates for this year's Jam here on the board before I go and try and switch my vacation time, and for others who need to request dates to take off work?

No offence to the Jam committee this year as I know what it's all about, but as a previous Jam committee member for three years this shouldn't even be an issue.

One post on the facebook group and its not even updated on the main Jeep Jam website? Buried amongst 16 billion other posts? I can understand the head scratching that is happening in this thread.

Maybe this section of the board should be removed if the Jam isn't going to be discussed here and just put a stickey with links to the Jam website and FB page if that is allowed.

This is very interesting to watch. Based on posts from last year, which I checked, some of the info has actually been posted earlier this year. Also, the early posts last year stated that Jam info was available on the FB site as well as the Jamboree website, which, coincidentally, was updated on Jan 27, 2013. To me, it looks like everything is running pretty much the same as last year and, as a bonus, we've known the dates for 2 weeks.

This is incorrect or this thread would not have been posted. Sometimes it's more about the delivery than it is the fact that it was just thrown up on single information system and expected to be seen by all.

This board is the target market , 99% jeepers here . We all log in and have a look around because we love it . This should be the first place the info is posted , It always used to be posted here , and talked about here , Now for some reason its not good enough . We have to beg for the info , or go look else where . The Jam advertising is free here .
I miss the board of years gone by

I'll have to apologize for not posting the dates here, Will do so pronto, as far as tickets ect. we will not post that until we know we have what we need to run the Jamboree for example Guides Trails secured ect. without them it does not happen so look for an onsale date in early Feb.

I agree about not alot of pics or Jam info coming to the board anymore. Luckily I use FB and happen to see the date change (mind you it wasn't very noticable and could have been easily missed). As for pics, I'd like to see more be posted on the board than FB. Easier for me to see them at work .

Maybe part of the shift to FB for Jam info is to attract more new comers but I think you can't let the old board/club membersbe forgotten.

Information SHOULD be easy to find, I agree, and last year at this time, as all these same discussions were going on, Sharon posted that the info for Jamboree would be posted on the NSJC Jamboree page on FB www.facebook.com/nsjcjamboree , so that's where I've been watching for info this year as well. Seemed pretty straightforward. I also looked at the Trail Guide form on here and guess what, it's the same as last year and the year before; basically, pick your trail (level). Unfortunately, the forum isn't quite as smooth for uploading photos as FB. After Jam last year, I had about 100 pics to upload and finally gave up trying on here and uploaded them to the NSJC page on FB, piece of cake, and didn't waste my time.

With luck this thread will incite the organizers to keep the Jam thread up to date with EVERY change and update to Jamboree. FB is nice, but there are a lot of folks who don't use it a lot and even though I use FB daily, not following the Jam page, I knew nothing about any date changes.

Proposal: Whoever's doing the FB updates add this board to their "to update" list, so even non-FB users can get information without searching for Bigfoot to find it.

As of the time Beth started this thread, the Date change post was buried WAY down the page. It should have at least been pinned to the top of the page, which it wasn't. I looked for it when I saw this thread because I too am contemplating going this year.

Thank you for posting the info here

Lots of info and activity on the FB page for the NSJC Jamboree. Lots of photos being posted and this message from Jan 14:

I posted this change for the Jam dates on the fb page after receiving a call that there was a booking error and another group was slated in for our original weekend. We always post the info on here as well we just happened to be a little later doing it this year than in the past. We do reach more folks on the fb page and it is our biggest source of advertisement for the event. And as I stated in the original statement, we apologize for the inconvenience. The change had to be made. We also were late this year getting this off the ground due to some other changes within the committee. Again please accept our apologies.
