Agreed, but since the 24th already has a large number of can't-make-its I've put it to a vote. That way, once a date has been locked in based on those results we'll know we've done our best to accomodate the best turn-out. Also, others have indicated that Fathers' day (June 17th) is no obstacle for them. If that turns out to be the best date we can avoid July altogether --- weather permitting.

 

You wanna finalize a date so I make sure I have it off

 

i cant say yes or no to any date cause i dont know what i am doing at work, but if i am in town i will be there. you got a bbq this year or is one going to make a trip down to the house again?

 

Brett has a nice *** BBQ now, as well as many accessories.

He also, no longer has an over-excited golden retriever.

 

Regretably, I wouldn't be able to make June 24th, as I have an autocross to run at Race City (as in, not just participate, but actually run it!). Whatever date is chosen, there's bound to be people who can't make it, so don't be too concerned.

 

oo any time really for me, my FD should be landing june 10th, so hopefully i can have er' on the road by the 17th at least!!!!

Well, it's certainly adequate, but not top-of the line by any stretch. Not much in the way of stainless steel, side burners or a rotisserie. But it does have the side tables so that'll come in handy.

Exactly five days after the last BBQ the dog was adopted by a couple of gay guys.

 

We're working on it. On that note, we need to pick a date soon for this very reason. I'm sure others will want to plan ahead too. I'm thinking let's give it until this Sunday at noon for some feedback and then we can choose a date that will be official and locked in.

So far the date that seems to work for the fewest number of people has been June 24th. I think it's safe to assume that one's out. But a couple have indicated that June 17th is ok, and July 29th works for Shauno.

 

i'll vote for july 22.. woot my B-DAY!!

 

Hmm... might have to plan a road trip...

 

Yeah, do it. If you leave Saskatoon at 6am you can be in Calgary before noon, and after the meet wraps up around say, 6pm you could be back to Sask before midnight. Or you could catch a spare bedroom and leave the following morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

 

Pick-a-day!!!!!!!

 

haahha well said.

 

Im all in for the latter end of july, like the 29th.

 

Ok, I was going to wait until Sunday to allow more time for input from more people. But since ya put me in a headlock....

It looks like July 29th is the day. If the weather craps out we can go with August 5th. (Even Ed should be able to make that date. I'm guessing he'll be doing a rain dance prior to the 29th in order to bring this plan B into being). This should give everybody enough time to get their calendars straightened out and their 7s running flawlessly.

I'm so busy tomorrow I won't have time to catch my breath let alone sit at a computer, but sometime on Sunday I'll post (and request a sticky for) a new thread with that date on it. All in favour say "aye." All opposed, scratch your *****.

 

Or wings, beer, and cute waitresses till the wee hours, conk out till the afternoon, and head back

 

Now there's a new slant...

 

Ok, so it's now Sunday afternoon (I've finally recouperated from an all-work-no-play Saturday and have found my way back to the computer) and the sparse smattering of definite votes leaves us pretty much where we were one week ago: Picking a date that sounds safe and leaves everyone time to plan.

None of those dates work for everybody, but the Sunday, July 29th option gives the most planning time and tends to have more favourable and predictable mid-summer weather, so let's go with that.

I'm now posting a new thread stating the new (and final) date, so we can simply let this old thread die from natural causes.
