I should be in for that one! I won't stay over night but I will make a day of it. If it snows I will take the S10 otherwise the crossfire will be there!

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

If you do end up bringing the Crossfire, can I take for a spin early in the evening before I have too much vino?. I'm worried about suffering from Crossfire withdrawl this winter and am already depressed thinking about it.:(
Hope to make it to the party.

Thanks Nick.

Hey Nick, to date no excuse to miss the GTG. Nothing on the calendar that I can see...unless some other commitments (family) come up...I should be able to attend....

If the roads are dry...I'll be bringing the Crossfire...

don't forget,
2 bottles of wine and also bring a snack or nibbly of some sort (cheese, sausage or something that will go well for the tasting of the wine. then later we have planned to order pizza.:D

I found while I was over in Australia that a decent Shiraz goes well with McDonalds lol

I'm actually serious btw,

Dave,
You and Chuckles sharing a room?

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

No, my better half is coming and Nick said Chuckles is coming with him and his wife.
Chuckles has an IV attached at night with a special saline/alcohol drip, as he hates to waste time sleeping when he could be drinking.
He thinks that's the best all round solution to the problem as it hydrates him while still keeping a buzz going.

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

We are attending as well....confirmed.
I have emailed Norm asking for address and Hotel info....
Should be a good GTG if everyone shows up........:D

(Do we have to put up with Dave?.......:p)

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

I am going to be there. Got 2 bottles of white wine. I have no idea what they taste like as I am not a wine-O- and have no idea

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

Can someone please pm me Norm's address. Would really like to make it but unsure how it will work out as the boys both have hockey mid afternoon one in Grand Valley and the other in Collingwood. Still hope to see you all.

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

Thanks for sending. Hope to see you all........if not, have a great time. :)

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

Was not meant to be I guess.....OK so who is hungover this morning??

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

not me... had to drive :( . you missed a good night out!

Re: christmas gtg at norm's in whitby
 

I have to say that I was really impressed with having attended my first SOCO event. The venue was wonderful, the hospitality was endless, the food was fantastic, the conversation sparkling (thank goodness the wine wasn't - albeit I don't drink wine so why would I care?), and the attendance was impressive.

All in all, an enjoyable evening and a chance to meet some very nice people! Even "St. Nick" (as he is certain to be known from now on) seemed to be on pretty good behaviour! Thanks for all that you do, Nick! I must admit, though, the photos leave some questions for me ... :rolleyes: . One thing that I'd like to have been able to do last night, is to associate the names of people (photos) and their online monickers. Glad to meet all of you, nonetheless!

Norm et al, thanks so much for having Mary Lynn and me into your home and making us feel like a part of the group. Great evening. I look forward to being part of a couple of cruises - however long or short, when the weather warms up. I'll tell you, Crossfire ownership seems to be alot of fun so far!

Best of the season to everyone and thanks, once more!

John
