Lets meet in the Middle...

[Black 03 Z06]

Seriously can I get my click back?

What is with you mods and all the weird stuff going on. Cabin Fever? Nik pushing you guys too hard?

Maybe form a moderators union or something.

Well, I know for myself, that I would prefer someone that has a Corvette to wash mine as they would understand how picky and protective Corvette owners are, and I am guessing by looking at this group of older middle aged males that there would be a better chance of them owning a Corvette than a group of early 20's ladies.

I've got the team lined up for the car wash!

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!........... Those are the guys the Mustang Meets use Riley.... This is who we use in Red Deer.......

 

[Riley P]

Interesting. I hope she is using the two bucket method and don't want to think about where she has the sponge. At least they are using lots of water and I've never heard of skin scratching a car, so this group would be approved. I'll inform the previous group that they can go back to the Mustang gang.

Just booked a room. we are looking forward to meeting you all.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Glad to hear it Jim. Look forward to meeting you as well.

January 23rd ... seems a long way off ... however it s like a business in the planning to get there ...
Has the Moose Jaw accommodation been approached for availability and pricing?
I am requiring to finish up my Calgary Start "package" so that a few who I know who are considering this can Budget and then just phone everything up and commit in one sitting.
The Moose Jaw stop phone number and pricing is all that I need now. I don't want to step on anyones approach for Moose Jaw if it is already in motion.
I can imagine a few others might be waiting to see this whole package so they can budget and decide to commit to MITM as well.
I will approach Moose Jaw if nobody else already is ... just let me know (I just can't find who was maybe going to do this).
Thank you

Sent Derek the Moose Jaw Information but can post here for you, or whoever to transfer.

As of right now, roughly $100 per night, but I'll see if I can get better pricing, and arranged parking for the Corvettes, but really, it's Moose Jaw. Pretty safe. In fact, I just looked up their crime map. Here are the results.

Thank you,
When a rate is confirmed with maybe a group name ... this is what I am compiling for the Calgary Start group.
Then it will placed in the hands of those considering from BC and a couple of new-to-CCF here in Calgary.
I know one of them just wants to have just one sitting to phone everything up for Calgary, Moose Jaw and Winnipeg and be done.
Thank you.

So you are on the Moose Jaw hotel Riley? Ok great. I will get the detail for the group # and special rate, parking etc onto the Event post. SO far it's just the hotel.

 

[Riley P]

I am on the Moose Jaw hotels. And thinking about where to meet in Regina for the Saskatchewan people who are local. It'll either be Regina Motor Products, who are a sponsor of the Regina Corvette Club (I can see if I can get some swag out of them), or just meeting in the Southland Mall parking lot as it is huge, and there is a Starbucks to fill up on some caffeine for the next hitch.

Also, I booked us all (Guessing seating for 50, with room to adjust numbers) at The Red Barn in Moosomin which is just over 2 hours from Regina.

Here is the site: The Red Barn Restaurant

They are blocking off a station for us and asked if we would use the front service which means you go up and order your food, take a number, and when your food is ready, they bring it to your table. They seem pretty versed with larger groups and said this is the fastest method.

Then afterwards, the next scheduled stop may be in Brandon (1.5 hours travel time from Moosomin) to stretch our legs before the final pull to Winnipeg (2.5 hours from Brandon).

Still no excuse for the choice of car wash people. Really, do you think its fitting for a guy to wear a tie to wash cars???

Wait till mid July and see those stats go all to hell. The wild bunch are coming.

 

[rockitman]

Looks like Rruuff day found a better group to host a car wash!!!!

 

[rockitman]

Gents your efforts in organization of the kick off points for the Alberta gang, group, flock.... as long as it is not called “club” is going great.

Flock, gaggle, troup, mix, pod, but no club. "This is our Non Car Club with friendly faces and smiles only"
Great to see the enthusiasm roll!!

 

[Dub]

The wife and I will be coming from Lloydminster area, and hoping to tag along with some Edm and Stoon members for the rest of the trip.

 

[ddgermann]

Yes you can meet up with the Edmonton parade for the trip to Moose jaw and on. So far you and I are the parade.

Here is the kick off thread. There will be lots of information coming out on the MITM event in the next few days.

Meet in the Middle - Edmonton Start

Cheers,
Derek

We have that group booking blocked off in Moose Jaw soon? Phoned the proposed hotel tonight (Feb 5th) ... but they apparently don't know we are coming yet ...
