Hello fellow Campgrounds Club members,

The event planned for Saturday that Curtis had planned is cancelled due to weather concerns.  The next event will be next month. 
Temperatures in camp are finally back above freezing and are expected to continue.  There is still ice and snow on the ground presently, so City water service will be restored by staff beginning Thursday morning.  Any breaks we find may require interruptions of water service for up to an hour at a time.  All water mains to each individual campground site will be left off.  When you return to camp, please notify Patrick directly of any concerns or leaks at 903-263-9873.  Members are responsible for repairs to any leaks beyond their main water shutoff valve.  Contact Tim or a plumber if you need help with those types of issues at 409-370-3001.  Many doors to campers are still frozen shut this morning.  Power is on. If you see any water leaks in Camp going forward, contact Patrick.
The Campground will be providing a roll off dumpster for freeze damaged plants and other related items.  Anything going into the two small dumpsters must be bagged in trash bags.  No tires or other prohibited items are allowed in the roll off dumpster.  No contractor tear downs are allowed either.    Contact Monty at 832-557-8561 with concerns via text or respond to this email to contact the entire BOD at once by replying to this email.  All contacts are listed on the website at www.tcclub.info. 
We hope everyone made a safe passage through this unprecedented record setting event.
Monty Weeks, Club President

The forecast is now calling for a hard freeze Monday and Tuesday so we will be implementing the freeze plan. Water will be off starting on Monday afternoon until the forecast lows are above freezing again. Wishing all safe passage through this impending mess.  If we lose power, septic will also be down.

The 8am forecast shows continued improvement for next week. If this trend holds, I am going to cancel the plans to shut down on Monday. It will also mean no damage to our oleanders and palms along with all of our plants. Yea!

The forecast has moderated a bit thanks to clouds and rain on Tuesday. This forecast is specific to my station at my trailer and was posted at 8. The next update will be tomorrow at 11am. Stay tuned.

Hello fellow Campgrounds Club Members,

    The forecast for Jamaica Beach for next week is calling for the outside temperatures at Camp to go below freezing on Monday night and is expected to stay below freezing until Thursday morning. City water is going to be turned off to the entire campground at the main Monday afternoon to remove the backflow preventer and drain the water lines. Water will not be available during this time, which is 12:00 PM Monday to 12:00 PM Thursday. Power will also likely fail, as it normally does, and the septic system pumps don't run without power. So, septic will likely be out as well. The Campground will be closed for camping from 12:00 noon on Monday until 12:00 noon on Thursday. It's also likely the causeway will close as well. We instituted this plan during the last major freeze, and it saved thousands of dollars in repairs to fix broken pipes and replace the backflow preventor.



We are encouraging members to come down this weekend to prepare their trailers by draining their tanks and draining all water that they can. In particular, the blue inline water filters will explode that most of us use. Drain your faucets and shower heads of water. Staff will be removing water hose connected water lines at the tee to open valves. If you hard piped your water, expect to find it broken and turned off when you return.  Digitally controlled heaters normally don't reset after a power interruption, so don't count on them staying on if the power goes off, even briefly. If you require assistance before Monday, reach out to Tim or staff or friends to help you. Staff will not be on duty during the closure.



Should the forecast radically change between now and Monday, we will update members via email, on Facebook and on the website. The Internet may not work if we lose power, or lines go down during this event. If that happens, internet updates will not be available.

Wishing all safe passage through this event,

Your BOD.

From Monty,

The two rainwater pumping stations that can pump 10,000 gallons per hour each are installed and finished. This should help drainage on the north side.

Our fences have all been repaired and updated.

The septic system has been updated with a surge control system to help out on wet periods and peak usage weekends. The tank tops have been resealed to help control odors. The cost of the five acres we need to further update the system has increased to $76,000 per acre. This will be discussed at the May meeting.

Please keep your lots and decks mowed, cleaned up and free from clutter like old toilets, trash wood, and other eyesores. Mowing season will be here soon, so take care of your lots or else hire someone to do it for you. If the club has to send out letters on any of this, daily fines will be levied for non compliance.

Our front lighting has been upgraded to provide more light at the entrances.

I set up a new beach front weather station and beach cam that streams live views facing the water pointing east towards sunrise. https://tcclub.info/bb/index.php?topic=120.0

The dumpsters are for bagged household trash only. Everything else needs to go to the dump. We monitor the dumpsters via a cam system to help control unauthorized usage and contractor dumping. This has saved the club thousands of dollars in fees. A roll off dumpster will be provided in the spring for cleanup and after any major storm.

Howdy Cuzins!
We have made the decision to postpone the Trailer Trash Bash until January. The rain chances have improved for Saturday morning, but increased for Saturday evening. The wind is intense making it feel much cooler than the temperatures show.
So, as Curtis said, this gives him more time to grow out his mullet and gives us more time to prepare our TRAILER TRASH!
The make up date will be sent as soon as we have it confirmed.

South Side / S23 for sale $70K
Last post by Monty - Dec 05, 2024, 06:16 PM
It's a nice area close to the beach, cement ready for a new trailer , nice views to the ocean from the upper deck. I am asking 70k  for it . That's what I paid in 2019.  I might consider a lower price if they're really interested and ready to buy.
Thank you.
