Attention Ottawa Rotters
 

The jungle drums indicate that Jim Mackie will be in town this weekend. Pending Jim's plans, jot a note in your daytimers - Gracies at 5 PM on Friday 2 December (close enough to St Bab's Day!).

Agenda - SSDD;

Servers - Delectable;

Beer - Wonderful;

Attendees - Fullabull.

Open to all Ottawa area (including the across the fleuve folks) with CMP/SMP interests.

What the hell is a ROTter, you ask?

= Royal Ottawa Truckers
= Rust Ole Truck Types
= Regal Old Testy Types
= Regularly Ordered Tetnus Testers
= Rusty Oxide Tribe

Take your pick - or add one yourself. We are just a bunch of fellows who like beer, good food, CMPs/SMPs, and the company of young female ale purveyors...

More to follow!

CHANGE OF DATE!!!!!!!!!
 

Well, it is confirmed: Jim will touch down in Ottawa tomorrow night (Thursday). He will only be able to join us that evening, but a little later than usual.

AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE: We are now scheduled to meet at Gracies on THURSDAY NIGHT 1 DECEMBER at 7:15 PM.

Alex, sorry that we will be missing you...enjoy TO.

Any other Rotters available tomorrow night??

Regrets!
 

Regretfully, we had to cancel the meeting with Jim. He had just flew in from the merritimes and will be spending time with the family. Besides, after 7 PM most of the Rotters will be in bed - sleeping. We will have to catch up later...

The greatest regret of course, is not showing photos of our glorious purveyors...

Well I was there and had a beer. Also had a chat with a lovely young thng and thought "If only I were 30 years younger - she would still be too young"

.... one to add to the Christmas wish list I guess......:D

Apologies...
 

Sorry, Clive. I couldn't track you down at work - they kept on insisting that you work elsewhere...

Send your cell phone number and I will keep you up to date as the situation changes.

I am sure you maintained the aire of dignity and decorum expected of a Rotter in our absence.
