I know its early, but i think we should plan this, BIG Canadian Meet in the summer...US people welcome to come too!&# Options

So, ive tried, and tried, and TRIED! to get a big canadian meet going. Only 2 semi big meets we have had was the GTA meet earlier in the summer where 5 ppl came out, and the thanks giving GTA meet where again...5 cars came out. Any ways, i wanna do this right. I know this will probably get moved to the meets/events section, but im posting it here any ways because im trying to get some ideas of where to have it, when to have it and if people would actually come.

So, we need to figure out some where thats convient to have it where we can have enough room for how ever many cars to come, some thing to do besides just hang out in a parking lot, and some where that we can spend more then a day there. I pretty much wanna do the whole CSP and DWG thing but canadian.

Im thinkin that we should either do it in Montreal, or Quebec city. My reasoning for that is so that we can get people from all over ontario, quebec and the east coast to come out, aswell as be close enough to the boarder to have people from the U.S. to come up too. They are big enough cities, there will easily be some where to have the meet, plenty of places to stay for a decent price, lots to do around town, and some nice drives just outside of town.

When? im thinking we should have it begginging of summer or mid summer. Sometime when people can enjoy the weather.

What to do? i think depending on where we end up, we should go for a cruise. If we go to Quebec City, maybe do a cruise through the old city, out of town and up to Mt St. Anne? Montreal...i donno cuz last time i was there i was 12 and dont really remember alot about the trip.

But i seriously wanna have a big big meet. Im thinking if people dont wanna drive alone, we can do a kind of convoy along the way. Pick people up as we go. Like it would stat off with me, sarah and maybe Mike, if he comes in Windsor, then we would drive up the 401, pickup any one in london area, drive down the 403 and pickup any one along the way, drive up to kitchener and pickup the few members we have there, into toronto meet up with who evers coming, then stop along the way as we need to untill we all get to either montreal or quebec city. I think it would b crazy having like 20 celicas driving down the highway for like 6 hours one right after the other.

This could easily easily work, all we need is some support. I can even see if i can talk to any of my friends in the industry and maybe get them to sponsor the canadian sector of 6gc and see if we can get some prizes/merchandise for people.

What do you guys think??

ok so how about this?...august 1st, day of travel, saturday, first day of meet, sunday second day of meet, and travel back home for some, monday travel back home day for the rest?

So on the friday, early morning us windsor and any MI people wanting to come take off, pickup people along the way, get to sherbrooke late friday night. Check into hotel, then Saturday morning, meet up at designated meeting place, meet and greet other members, BBQ *if possible*, check out other members rides, take some pictures, and just hang out. Then sunday morning meet up for breakfast, go for a cruise and for the people who need to get back home/cant take that much time off from work or family, head back home. For every one else, hang out, go for dinner, etc. Monday, drive back home.

Sound good??


Also, i got a price on the hats. The hats them selves will be $34, $12 for the logo on the front, $8 for the logo and SN on the back..but if i put in an order of more then 10, the price goes down 20% on the price of the hat, 20% off the logo on the front and 20% off the price of the back logo and SN. So....*pulls out calculator*...

sooo..without discount...each hat is about $62

with discount...each hat is about $33 that includes taxes and all. So, it up to you guys. I just wanna make sure we are all/the people who like to post are for sure ok with that plan and date. Then i will be setting up another post and closing this one off. It will put all the info regaurding hotel info, prices on the hotel and hats. Once we figure out the date for sure...there wont be a new thread brought up for probably a week or 2, so i can call around to some of my contacts about sponsoring the event and also contacting the area's hotels.
