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

[Jeunesse]

What's the update on this? hehehehe im excited.

[Valo666]

we still need to decide on a date. Also, i think i might b able 2 get some custom made hats for us for a decent price. right now they are $32 retail, but im gonna ask how much it would be if i got bulk discount. I would probably get the 6gc logo on the front, dragon and sn on the back. If you guys are interested, ill ask about it and get a full price for when we get the date set in stone.

Any ways, keep votin on a date and we will settel it in a week or 2.

[GrimReaper]

The only problem with the 14/15 week-end it's because it's the father's day week-end, and some might want to be with their dads on that day, but I'll be in anyway:) if it what's you decide

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!!!! i just found out that i am booked solid for Victoria/Dollard weekend and Canada Day. CFSPCMT!!!!


hope i can make the chosen date.

Just a question for people from Maritimes...do you think it would be a good idea to meet somewhere and drive up there together like in Edmundston, NB....i think the drive would feel shorter when you have a 6gen rear in front of you ....and also a safety if something wrong happen along the way

let me know what you think

[Theshanon]

i'm so hyped for this its not even funny, but in general has the orignal start meet up point been decided yet?? I'm in Scarborough =)

its gonna be like a convoy across ontario...we r gonna start down in windsor, and come across picking people up along the way. There are a few members from scarborough area. like nader is from from the shwa, so it will pretty much be that me, keroppi, and mike_e will start out in windsor, and fallow the highways up and across picking people up along the way.

bonne idée.

i would be great to rallye fron the NB border to wherever/whenever. the safety factor is important and we could play leapfrog all the way to the site.


BTW i can't wait much longer for a date...my calendar is starting to fill. i will most likely be on vacation all of July and first 2 weeks of August.

peace

alright..well..ill pick a date since most ppl arent being helpful with choosing one. But i think maybe mid summer would b the best time to go. And im gonna go get one of the hats made tonight and see if i can get a discount price on em.

[axelrduvirage]

best time for me would be end of July.

We're only planning to make it a 2 day one night event. One day will consist of driving there and checking out the sights and party or go bar w/e and the next day will be the actual meet where we cruise around and find a big parking lot to take pictures and so on and so forth and driving back to our location.

[Jeunesse]

Yeah that sounds good. I was actually just going on a two day trip with you guys even if you extend for a longer period of time. I just can't leave my daughter and wife that long. Why don't I just take them along? My daughter will be 15 months old this July and it is hard to take a baby along in a trip like this. I could bring my wife but she said she'll just stay home with Zoe. So yeah, 2 day sounds great to me.

[axelrduvirage]

according to about.com:

" The first Monday of August is a civic holiday in most Canadian provinces. It is commonly referred to as the August Long Weekend.

The following provinces and territories have a holiday on the first Monday of August:

* British Columbia,
* Alberta,
* Manitoba,
* Saskatchewan,
* Ontario,
* Nova Scotia,
* Prince Edward Island,
* New Brunswick, and
* the Northwest Territories.

Quebec, Newfoundland and Nunavut do not observe a holiday on this day and therefore conduct business as usual."

this is good, right?!?! it gives us an extra travel day.

[Valo666]

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.

[_mikeE]

Sounds good with me, also for the hat--does it come with any color options and design options that we can choose from or can we design the hat ourselves and submit them to you and still be able to pay the $33.

Basically all i want is a white hat with black lettered, and a bledge edge trim on the brim of the hat.
A 6GC logo on the front but on the bottom right hand corner and the shape of our car enclosing my s/n on the back or we could stick with the logo on the back and s/n.

[Theshanon]

what kind of hats are they? do you have pics? because for me i like the new era styling for hats =) also date sounds good PLUS we should take see who exactly is staying for 1 night and whos staying for two

[_mikeE]

Just a heads up, if you have a GPS unit in your car, let me and Bryan (Valo666) know because we're gonna have to depend on you just incase our map or instructions get messed up. Also, we're gonna be needing contact information so ur number and mini-map to where to meet/pick you all up at when Bryan, Sarah, and I convoy to where you all are. (will repost notification again in new thread after this one gets all confirmed and closed).
