id like to bring the pooch. Just because she likes to be with me. Staying in the van isn't much fun for her though. I'm good for wherever.

He hey all looks like the weather is improving for saturday morning hows ambelside around noon I think the earlier the better tomorrow supposed to rain late in the day. anyone still up for a meet and then a few pints at the black bear when the rain starts

[coaxial]

[northvanmatt]

Arrrg, just got called into work so I can 't make it. I hope there is a good turn out and I'll be at the next one and are we still one for the last tuesday of the month at the black bear?

Looked out the window and its raining again (not nearly as hard as last Sunday though!)

Assuming some people are planning to show up, my plan is to pop down to Ambleside around 2:30 after "nap time" (assuming this is the location - Brett had suggested Cates, and thats fine for me too)!

[MardyDelica]

pls let us know how many will have time to show up:

Mardy

Notwithstanding today's rain, I headed over to Ambleside (with 1-year-old son) around 2:30ish, and had a great chat with Mardy and Coaxial (both sporting their fine-looking Delicas!) Had to cut it short due to the rain though (the little guy was getting abit wet)...

While driving back along Marine Drive at 3:15ish, saw another Blue lifted deli stopped at Taylor Way intersection (complete with mitsu-maple windshield decal). Whoever you are, I hope you caught up with the other two!

[coaxial]

Oh weird... whoever that was we didn't see them at all we left just after you.

Thanks for the decal! Nice meeting you guys We will have to have a meet where more people show up

[Adrock]

that would have been me.... I didn't see anyone. Headed to black bear too, nothing. Oh well. It was a nice drive with my puppy anyways.

[MardyDelica]

i guess we just miss you, we wait for until nearly 3:30, well we all have to have plan to meet maybe in the summer next year,or DEC, christmas, well try to do it in a private parking place whenever convenience for everbody,
i try to ask mark if he can do that for us, keep in touch everybody
Cheers:
Mardy

Sorry Adrock -- you probably missed the other two by not more than 30 seconds...

From our experience this weekend and last, I think that when we organize any type of function should designate a contact person with a cell #. The designated person would keep a "real-time" list of who's coming and who's not, etc. (particularly on those iffy-whether days like yesterday).

As far as fall function goes, Brett had suggested to me (a few months ago) having a BBQ branded "DeliFeast 2007" (as a followup to DeliFest 2007). In retrospect, this probably ought to have happened before the Winter Monsoons arrived. However, this could still be a doable option (maybe in conjunction with Erik's suggestion of a December Toy Run?)
