Hey guys and gals,

So I'm really excited for this year to get out and about with some local events for everyone here and their families.

I really want to do a Cruise and BBQ in the summer like last year but warmer weather and perhaps less rain lol.

I'd like to do a cruise to the track and maybe have a couple runs down the strip with some ppl.

I'd love to do the Hamilton Airplane Museum again. That was a good drive and very interesting to see.

And maybe a cruise down to Port Dover or Long Point Park. I hear there are some really nice views and roads down there.

But One thing I would love to do which I sadly missed was the scavenger hunt. I think I'm going to set one up but I need to know that people will be in on this to make it good and not just 3 cars running around...

So please post up and let me and everyone else know what you think and would be willing to do. Any other ideas are welcome.

All good ideas John (and good to start planning early) ... I also like the idea of a poker run like the one in Niagara couple of years ago, and IIRC AnthonyD mentioned he might do a BBQ this year - those have always been good.

Additionally there are a couple of rallies during the summer that are organized by other groups - it would be nice to participate as a Focus team - can't remember who though.

Challenge for me is timing - there's about 8 track weekends I want to try and do this year which kind of blows the hell out of the summer - unless of course a bunch of you wanted to also participate - that would be good.

So also about the regular Massiv Monday Meets...

Focusman when are we starting them?

The weather is really good this past few days and continuing in the next few as well. Though it is a lil too early to jump on it what do you think Kev??
