Oakville Meet & Greet - 3 NOVEMBER - THE KINGS ARMS
« on: October 07, 2007, 22:43:26 »
At the request of D Squared and myself - Who would be interested in coming down to O-town just outside of Toronto for a good old fashioned pub crawl (milk included) sometime soon?  If so, launch some dates out there and such.

Fridays are usually best for me - of course.  :blotto:

Adding poll momentarily.

I'm in, though Toronto would be better ie. staggering distance....

We're trying to switch up from Toronto.


The GO is within staggering distance. And you can sober up before confronting an angry D9'er - who may or may not be yours!

Ditto that.  Although, I would prefer a Saturday date due to "travel" time.

I grew up there but haven't been in years - Kings Arms was my old stomping grounds, depending on the date I might just be game for that.

Any other weekend in November BUT the Remembrance Day weekend, please.

I recognize that one can't keep everybody happy, though.

Sorry folks, I should have figured... ::) although the Cenotaph is right by the King's Arms  ;D
 & I'll be there on the Sunday for sure.
 
Is Nov. 17th OK with y'all?  Can be Nov. 3rd too.  Just gotta get a date in here.  Cheers!

Though I'm just an interested by-stander right now, either Nov. 3 or 17 would work for me.

If I was to attend the meet, the better weekend for me would be that of 3 Nov as I'm on days off that weekend.  But like Bruce, I am still an interested bystander at the moment.

November 3 would be better for me also as I will be staying up the road at the Mississauga Delta that weekend.

Oh-oh...Kyle, we'd better warn the K.A. to order extra pickles for the occasion, I heard somewhere that they tend to disappear off peoples' plates when Mr. Monkhouse is around.

I'll be in the lovely province of Nova Scotia on the 3rd.  So the 17th is better for me.

17th is better for me as well (I'll just be getting back from 2 weeks in Kingston on 2nd).  But if it has to be Nov. 3, that's totally OK. 
Anybody else?
