Niagara-on-the-lake Cruise 2005 (all Info Inside) - ANTHONYD - 08-31-2005
WE HAVE DONE O.F.O.C. NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE CRUISES IN THE PAST HAVE PROVEN TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
I'M THINKING OF ORGANIZING ANOTHER ONE.
I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE AS BIG AS THE BBQ.
DATE: OCTOBER 15TH (SATURDAY.)
TIME: 10:00 AM TO WHENEVER.
WHERE: FROM BEAMSVILLE, TO NIAGARA ON THE LAKE FOR A BBQ.
WHAT WE DID LAST TIME WAS START THE CRUISE IN BEAMSVILLE ON AT THE REST STATION (TIM HORTON'S) ON THE Q.E.W. WE THEN CRUISED THROUGH VINYARDS ALL THE WAY TO NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE TO A PARK WITH BBQ PITS. WE THEN TOSSED THE FOOTBALL, SNAPPED PICTURES AND GRILLED BURGERS.
IT TURNED OUT GREAT AND A FUN TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. WE HAD ABOUT 15 CARS THE FIRST TIME, AND I KNOW WE CAN SURPASS THAT THIS TIME.
BRING YOUR CAMARAS, COOLERS AND CARS.
THIS WILL BE A WONDERFUL RUN THROUGH THE AREA WITH THE COLOURS ALL CHANGED. QUITE POSSIBLY THE LAST CRUISE BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES. B) B) B)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need everyone that is bringing food to list what they plan on bringing. I'll supply the condiments so leave your ketchup and relish at home.
Steve is bringing his portable coal grill, as I will bring my hibachi. If anyone else has another grill they would like to tag along please specify.
ANYONE BRINGING GRILLS, PLEASE BRING ENOUGH COAL FOR YOU OWN BBQ. I DON;T WANT AN ECONO BAG OF COAL ROLLING AROUND IN MY TRUNK.
I will also have a small cooler with a few drinks. If everyone else coold bring 6 soft drinks each, we will have enough for everyone.
ANYONE WHO OWNS TWO-WAY RADIOS, PLEASE PACK THEM AS WELL. WE WILL CERTAINLY NEED THESE FOR THE CRUISE PORTION.
ANYONE WITH CAMERAS, PLEASE BRING THEM FOR THE GALLERIES. WE AS FOCUS CANADA WANT TO DOCUMENT THE SUCCESS OF THESE MEETS FOR POTENTIAL SPONSORS / MEMBERS.
ANYONE WITH LAWNCHAIRS, PLEASE BRING THEM...THERE WILL NOT BE SEATING FOR EVERYONE.
PLEASE BRING A PAPER PLATE OR 2 FOR YOUR FOOD. I WILL HAVE SOME. BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.
THANKS GUYS......IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!!!
Anyone with any other suggestions, please chime in.
PLEASE BE AT THE GATEWAY TO NIAGARA FOR 10:00 AM!
THE CRUISE WILL LEAVE GATWAY AT 11:00AM...PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE!!!

Can add me in too, should be around barring the better half wanting to do something up there (she won't want to come to this, she thinks cars are only to drive to work and back). I also have a portable propane grill I can drag along.

Highway 8 goes to Clifton Hill now? thats news to me
Niagara-on-the-lake Cruise 2005 (all Info Inside) - focusnme - 08-31-2005
hey - im probably in but repost to remind me
Niagara-on-the-lake Cruise 2005 (all Info Inside) - Frost__2001 - 08-31-2005
We should invite "our" Yanks off the site to tag along since it's just over the boarder for them.
That said I hate Clifton Hill area........ it's soooo confusing there in a car, not to mention crazy prices on everything.
But I'll put myself down for a maybe, I have to check my work schedule for this one.

The NOTL area is good for driving, but i think maybe we could include fonthill, maybe Effingham rd, or some other back road twisties in the area, i'd have to sit down and map it with ya just to get a good run, and to make sure they are not S**T roads. I'm up for it, just hope i can get off work, unless you want to start at noon :P and we can meet in Grimsby at the gateway.... Better parking lot and in sight from highway

I'm liking the sounds of this cruise more and more, and it is so far away!
Oh well, my B-Day is on the 10th of Oct, so I just might have to come down to niagara for the weekend!

I have an idea. It's probably the best idea I have had for this place to date. And it's a seriously great idea.
I think the cruise is a great idea. Don't get me wrong. But what if we started the meet at the site you want to cook at, then have a poker run from there.
We could hook people up that wanted to ride along in someone else's car and leave their car parked and get a chance to ride in say a ride they love. Or they could take their own ride and bring another member in the car with them. That way, we get to know each other better and chase around areas of interest in the Niagara region. It's just a map and the open road for an hour. At each checkpoint, everyone has to find the playing cards and pic a card. The best hand in the end wins a prize. I might be able to handle this donation.
If you wanna run with this idea Anthony, I'd be willing to help you out. If you guys really wantke this idea, chime in as peer pressure always wins :D

Saaaawwweeeeeettt Idea!
I like it! I really really like it! But for it to last an hour, is that long enough?
I have never done a poker run before so I wouldn't know how long it took. But I guess will gas prices you wouldn't want a long one! LOL....
Well I think it is a great idea, and I still don't see any reason why we can't do a
big focus train around the main Niagara strip, as well as on the way to the cook point, hitting up the paths/roads previously mentioned. Adding the poker run will just be a little event once we all get there.

i can just see it now .. mefords map would lead everyone right to the sundowner
Niagara-on-the-lake Cruise 2005 (all Info Inside) - ZX3guy2000 - 09-01-2005
Maybe the cards will be inside waiting for us at a table in the front row, where you must sit through one song and then you get to pick a card.

I am going to push for this. Great idea. Go in and get your card from the dancer named Princess.
And a table dance if your interested.
