I didn't Murray :mrgreen: You got them from ME!

I'm in if there is still room.

Shane

:lol: isn't that the truth! I still have a big colony of them too. PS I'm in for sure and the 30th is fine for me. I like the idea of meeting at Neal's store and starting from there. I should mention that I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, I just thought I'd let everyone know in case we stop off at my house. Should be a fun night, I'm looking forward to meeting the people I don't know and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone I do know again, and seeing everyone's tanks! :biggrin:

Last stop was suggested to be dinner. Everyone in?

If you are on this list, and not planning to attend, please email me! If you are not on the list, but would like to attend, I'll start a waiting list. I'm sure a few spots will open up (things always come up for some of us)!

DON'T PM me... my PM box is full. Emaill matt.anthony@shaw.ca
Replies and waiting lists requests can come back to this thread.

I'll add a poll to the top about dinner, and we'll decide on that soon.

Anyone else wanting to host a stop on the tour, reply to the thread.

Cheers!

Perfect, I was about to ask if anyone had a list of people attending this, but I see Matt's on top of things :biggrin: Does anyone have the address of Neal's new place? I need it, thanks Laurie PS I'm looking forward to this, it should be a fun day! Everyone think Earl's :mrgreen:

MATT, Mark's just sitting back.

:redface: Oops! sorry!

yep im in, dinner sounds good too :biggrin:

LOL..I am not sure 20 people will fit in my basement! We can try anyway.

if there is more interest..If everyone chips 5.00 bucks, I can provide 2 vehicles(bus and the cadillac) and bring up to 35 people....I just don't want to have to pay a driver for this...which is what the 5 bucks is for.
LMK what people think.
I am just thinking that 20 people in the bus will be a tight fit...specially when I look at the list and there are some big guys coming.
Just a thought.
Neal
the address for the store is 6104 Davies rd.
It is just behind Osman Auction off 75 st.

Neal, I'm so happy to throw in cash, you can't imagine -- whether or not we add a second driver! In addition to that, though, we can drop the number by a person or two -- we'll almost certainly have a dropout or two, and we don't need to wait-list until we get below a comfort number.

I'd have no problem throwing in some money, even if we only take one of your vehicles, Neil!

This is gunna be sweeeeeeeeeeet!

I "might" be out I didn't releaze the 30th was the long weekend I might be sledding or quadding somewhere


Oh and Matt your poll asks for dinner on the 20th :mrgreen:

My wife was a little hesitate about 20 strangers coming through, now to explain it's 35, give me courage...

Hey, I really can't commit to the tour but I would like to join you guys for dinner.
Wayne

It is not confirmed 35..I was just saying that if there is enough interest, I could move 35 people around
I agree though...20 is probably more than enough moving thru peoples houses.
it appears that everyone expressing interest is on the list anyways..so I think the bus will be good and that we should cap it at 20..
worse case scenario any leftovers could just carpool.
Neal

Easter is the previous weekend (21-24). I'll try to fix the other date. <edit> Can't fix the poll date -- we need a helpful mod.

I'll bump this once a day

Yer right !!.... see that dinner on the 20th thing screwed me up i'm still in not sure on dinner though

I gots your back Matt...fixed! :wink:

I second this :mrgreen:

Thanks!

hey, im not sure if you guys are full, i would like to come if there is room, it would be nice to meet most of you guys, and see some of your tanks, so if there is room can you let me know thanks.
Dan

can i join the band wagon too ¿?

:mrgreen:

I've sent PMs to all the original 20 respondents, asking for a response to confirm. After the Easter weekend, I'll post the new list, and notify the wait-list participants.

It just isn't practical to have more than 20.

Cheers!

Matt
<edit>

Mark CN nano-man
Dan CN Boomboy
Daniel CN Nexus13

matt could you toss my gf on the list too?

Karyn is her name.

cheers,

Non-Boomboy-Daniel

I'm in for sure, and I don't know about everyone else, but I've always been the more the merrier type of person :biggrin: Of course I can see how 20+ people would be a tight fit in most peoples houses.

Getting closer... this is just a bump for awareness.

Where is Neal's "new place?" I need to know where to go on the 30th :mrgreen:

store is at 6104 davies rd.

PMs going out now... consider yourselves confirmed!

Suggested Route -- Timings are imprecise, but I imagine we'll hit the first stop at about 2pm (+/- 10 minutes), and finish with the last between 5:30 and 6pm. I'll make reservations with Earl's for 20 ppl at 6:30.

Oh man!

we wont' really need to spend any time really at the store as there is going to be little to see.
store progress is slow with money and time being a bit of an issue at this point.
but the tour looks great so far Matt.
the only other thing is when I bring everyone back to the store. Is everyone who is going to dinner just going from there?
Neal

Matt, would it be possible for my husband (Bernie) to join us for supper at Earls? Could you possibly add one more to that reservation?

:)

I can't make the tour. Can people you guys for supper at Earls?
