Ottawa get together

RHClarke · #1 06-11-12, 03:12

It has been quite a while since we had a gather up here in Ottawa. I propose that we hold a meeting of like-minded restorers and enthusiasts in Ottawa after November 11th.

Since the shitty weather is just around the corner, it is time to get reacquianted and enjoy the company of those afflicted with the rust addiction.

Any dates tickle your fancy? We will pick the date using the time tested democratic process - whatever suits the majority.

Venue is to be announced.

Wednesdays are bad for me and my son - scouts. Otherwise six days a week are open.

Seeing as how my lady doesn't do Indian food and I have a craving for a good curry how about we go out to Richmond road, wasn't there an Indian restaurant out there? Would make a good change from wings and other road house fare.

I'm sure I could cadge a couch surf nearby if we went Indian, would be worth the effort to drive up to see you guys.

Last time was about a year ago when Rob Love came to town.

Most nights good.

Is the Indian restaurant licensed...?

Must try to invite the latest MLU memebrs from the area.... met one 19 set at the Neapean show and another just joined MLU and the chap who was looking for a patient mechanic to do vehicle inspection......

That would have been March of 2011 if I recall correctly. Sadly I won't be making it this time.....the war is over.

Time and place boys and I will see if I can fit into my schedule.
Oldest lad is at College Cite, good reason to visit.

servicepub (RIP) · #7 08-11-12, 20:45

I'm in provided I am not travelling. If after Dec 16 Young Law may join us.

Yeo.NT · #8 08-11-12, 23:19

Since I am up in Petawawa I should attempt to attend one of these get together, depending on the date I am in.

Robin Craig · #9 09-11-12, 00:30

Yes the restaurant i'm thinking of serves alcohol.

Its just past the major cross roads opposite where the old Beaver Lumber used to be.

Soon would be good.

Please don't make it in December as i'm real busy then

my 2 cents worth

I'd like to join you guys - I could bring a couple of spare CMP bits if anyone is interested -Ford instrument "binnacle" (no instruments or switches but all of the plates) for cab 11/12 not sure which one but its different from my F8; large style military oill filter; Ford carb.
Can add photos if anyone is interested.

Geoff

Robin Craig · #12 12-11-12, 02:25

Does anyone have a preference as to a weekend or week night?

R

Bob Carriere · #13 12-11-12, 04:25

...... can't get a weekedn pass anymore !!!

....but it could be a Flyday !!!!!

Bob

Eric B · #14 23-11-12, 17:52

Hello Folks

I know Robin wanted to avoid Dec. Terry was not available on Wed. Bob could not make weekends.

Since nobody has suggested dates. Here are a few in early Dec:

After Wreaths across Canada (Beachwood Cemetary) Sunday 02 Dec.

Thursday 06 Dec.

Any thoughts?

Eric

david moore · #15 24-11-12, 03:19

Either 2nd or 6th Dec would suit me

RHClarke · #16 24-11-12, 03:28

Please stand by. I heard that we may have a special visitor to Ottawa in the near future. Once I confirm that rumor, I will propose at least two dates.

If there is wimmen,beer and lie telling..anytime is good for me...Who is the special guest..??..the 6th at Gracies would be good..let me know and I'll reserve,
WE are never going to get consensus with the time of the year but don't expect to get in anywhere after the first week in December..too many office party's booked.

Robin Craig · #18 25-11-12, 13:33

Count me out as of now gents, sorry but we are so close to moving in to our new house I can no longer afford the time.

Happy Christmas to one and all, and long may it be a green Christmas

RHClarke · #19 02-12-12, 20:23

Our potential surprise visitor is only in town for a few hours for some business, and will be leaving shortly thereafter, so that constraint has been removed. So...here are the prospective dates:

Friday December 7 (tora tora tora)
Wednesday December 12

Location: Gracies in Gloucester (Olgilvie Road)

Time: 5PM - the last one leaves

I am good for both dates. I would ask those who wish to attend to voice their opinions and choose a date (which may or may not be workable now that the office parties are being held at local pubs).

Let the whinging commence!

Bob Carriere · #20 02-12-12, 20:28

Both dates fits well within all the other office social functions....

....now I hope the special visitor is wearing red and carrying a big bag of goodies.....er CMP goodies...... God knows we have all been exceptionally good !!!!!!!

Bob

Grant Bowker · #21 03-12-12, 17:55

Based on work scheduling I prefer Wednesday the 12th, but can try to make Friday the 7th fit.

CWO (ret) Gilles Aubé · #22 03-12-12, 18:41

If on the 12 of Dec I would like to joint in.
Gilles from Montréal.

Eric B · #23 04-12-12, 19:09

I am out.

Thanks

Eric

Johnny Canuck · #24 05-12-12, 01:29

Either date is fine for me.

Geoff

I've got it on the calendar for an early arrival and early departure to get my boy to his school's Friday movie night. It is a big thing at his school for the school council to do a bit of fundraising one bag of popcorn at a time and show kids' movies in the gym. One family routine I like to support.

Alex Blair (RIP) · #26 05-12-12, 21:13

I'm sorry I won't be attending this get together..
I have some medical appointments at that time..involving overnight stays in hospital..some sleep apnea testing..nothing interesting like gunshot wounds or the clap...
So will be back and raring to go after the winter-season..
Good luck and have fun and tell the girls I'll be back..
Take and post lots of pictures.
Alex

david moore · #27 06-12-12, 03:33

Dec 12th better for me

Bob Carriere · #28 06-12-12, 04:23

Dec 12th better for me now....

maple_leaf_eh · #29 06-12-12, 04:25

So if anyone else is a Gracies this Friday, they are on my team. If they show up a week later, they are true Rotters.

david moore · #30 06-12-12, 22:57

Guess I'm a rotter then. Dec 12th it is - if two or three are gathered .......
