The Grand Ballroom of The Forge Caterers and Banquet Center Route 9, North, Woodbridge, N.J. KEEP AND BRING FOR REFERENCE! …. YOU WILL NEED THIS INFORMATION FOR OUR OUT OF TOWN TRAVELERS Please keep this reference with you to help you navigate around this area during your visit. Please note: Thank you for coming to this years IAMA Awards Banquet. With the number of people flying in etc. we do have “very limited resources” to provide transport around, and rely on our Guests to be as crafty as possible to get around on their own recognizance. I am sure that you understand how busy “yours truly” is going to be throughout the Friday night and Saturday and locked into the logistical preparations for the Banquet. But, with this said, we will do the best we can to assist you in your trip in getting around the “small” circle involved for activities. (See attached Map Sketch) Some methods of cartage available to you would be: A) The Van at the Hilton Iselin or  Renaissance Hotel going to the Forge in the evening (5 P.M.). B) Alternate would be “Scooters” Taxi Service at 732-738-1700, right there in Woodbridge (perhaps double up), rates to/from Newark Airport $45.00 (Call when you hit the ground an give them 20 minutes to get there. To/from Renaissance to Forge $8.00 C) Get to know, and hitch a ride with other Mobilized Attending Martial Artist Recommended Facilities for overnight are as follows: We have recommended two specific facilities for our attendees to consider staying at in order to be close and maneuverable with each other without complications or unnecessary costs and as a gathering place to casually socialize with one another on site pre Banquet. 1) HILTON ISELIN, NJ, Wood Avenue, This is a Full Service Hotel  OPEN RATES APPLY asap - Call: 732-494-6200 or RENAISSANCE HOTEL(Formerly Sheraton) located on Route 1, Iselin/Woodbridge, This is a Full Service Hotel (1 Mile from Banquet) Call: 732-634-3600, OPEN RATES APPLY asap - Call: 732-636-0300 　 　 If you do drive out of the Airport watch the signs "very closely" or you will be lost in Port Newark and not fun. You want to follow the signs "EXIT" (of course) and ROUTE 1 SOUTH. Pretty much you want to “guide left” lane throughout the departure. You may have a GPS which will guide you to the “Forge” or “Renaissance” which is 20 minutes South on Route 1 (depends on traffic). However for a sight fix, straight down Route 1 about 15 minutes, watch for sign to ROUTE 9 SOUTH to the left adjacent and QUARTER MILE you will PASS THE FORGE on your left. Continue straight ahead HALF MILE to OVERPASS U-TURN coming back up the Route 9 North side back to the Forge three quarters of a mile to the right. AS A MARKER, returning you will come over the NJ Turnpike and the Forge will be another few hundred yards to the right. Opposite the Forge is a tall HESS BLDG to the left side that you just came past traveling South. 　 IAMA HALL OF FAME November 17, 2012 FORGE CATERERS AND BANQUET CENTER 1002 Route 9 N, Woodbridge, NJ 07095 DIRECTIONS FROM: NEWARK AIRPORT(EWR) Take Route 1 South to Gradual left turn off Rt 1 at Woodbridge, About 15 minutes from EWR to Rt. 9 South.　 Pass Forge Inn (about 5 minutes) \ to Route 440 overpass.　 Make U-turn for Rt. 9 north.
