Fall Calgary Meet
Hey Calgarians, I'm no good at organizing things, but I figure a nice fall get-together would be nice before we're stuck in the snow again! How does meeting at Bowness park, taking a few pics and finally heading out for a cruise around the city sound? Let's aim for the last week of Sept. I hope 1 month is enough to notify people and plan for those who store their car for winter.
*********
MEET INFO:
Time/Date: Noon, Oct. 2, 2005
Place: Parking lot at Bowness.. the trees make for good picture taking!

Just a note. High River is having their Car show on Sept 25, Expecting a few hundred cars. so if you like all kinds of motors... that's the place to go.
25th isn't great for me, rather see this once a year gathering and choose another day....

I'm up for anything. I guess we'll let the majority decide. Maybe a poll or a few suggestions? We went up to Elbow Falls last time... but I think a trip on the TC would be much safer! :o

Looks like we got a tie between the 1st 2 dates. Anyone else coming? I'm sure there's more Calgary people than that!!! Anyone have any other driving suggestions? Post 'em!

Sounds like a bunch of the RX7 guys and Mazda 3 guys are meeting at Genmore Park on the 17th......maybe some 8's should crash the party?

Well guys, Sunday is coming up! I'm going to put the meet in for THIS SUNDAY. We'll meet at Bowness Park, at one of the parking lots at noon and then we'll decide what to do. Let me know if you guys are going to be coming. Otherwise, I'm going to have to cancel it. Thanks!

If we meet at Bowness or COP, we can travel through the city and get some highway in there as well.

Ok, the reply for confirmation isn't overwhelming and its Thurs. C'mon guys!! Don't let these Calgary meet be like the Edmonton meets (where nobody goes)! So far it seems like people are leaning more towards Oct. 2. I'll post a decision tomorrow as to whether its postponed for next week.
