Bob..
Wouldn't think of you even missing one little minute..
How about the 18th which is a Thursday..or the 19 which is a Friday which I will need at least two weeks notice to reserve tables on a Friday night..The 17th Wednesday is St Paddys day and not a hope in Hell of getting tables in an Irish pub that night....
Friday night would be better for those coming from a distance..but any night at all is good for me..
Give me a show of hands for the 18th OR nineteenth..

The 18th is actually better for us... Sally has to be back in Toronto by noon on the 20th for work obligations, and I have to make the Acton show on the Saturday.

Default tight....

Unfortunately I will not be able to swing a meeting with "one from across the pond" as my schedule is a little tight.

6 Mar - pick up two Carriers - Pickering
15 Mar - Public speaking engagement Militarymuster presentation - Windsor
20 Mar - Acton
21 Mar - Windsor Gun/Knife/Militaria show

and somewhere in there is a little time to smooth out the ruffled feathers on the Frau....LOL.

Hope all goes will and pass my regards...and regrets.

Cheers

Mike Timoshyk

Default WOW What a response

Well folks, what can I say! I was only enquiring if this was a regular do and was there any chance of attending. I was not proposing for a gathering from the far flung corners of the province and beyond. I know of no reason why the 18th should present problems, so I go with the command decision.

Think however I will still use the 4 wheeled steed, I hear the weather is still a mite chilly for us soft Brits. David McCallum? Personally I never met him although family folk law says he is from my grandmother's sister's side of the family.

Ian.
It is quite normal for the ROT(Rusty Old Truckers)ers to get together on occasion..
If it has to do with rust..green...greasy parts..beer... old military vehicles..more beer..you can bet there will be a call to parade.,..
We have more than willing participants that attend our gather ups..
Here is where we will be meeting ..the East end location..You can google up a map from the address or site..
The 18th will be booked.

I seem to remember from the distant past that Ed also lives in the vicinity? A name and colleague from tours of the distant past in Holland and Normandy. First time I met Ed he was with John Marchant 'on tour' in 'Tiny', now residing in the War Museum.
