Ahem.... er, Ladies & Gentlemen of the Eastern Canadian & U.S. ilk - we're almost at the starting post, and if you have nothing else planned for the weekend * I would urge you to consider making the jaunt to Hammond for what promises to be a great weekend! Amongst other things and aside from the great comraderie (as always), you will see the only running Windsor Carrier in North America as well as[/SIZE] have a chance to be a running target for the 6 pdr!! Think of what we could tell your children & grandchildren in your absence!!
Seriously folks, this has become a great summer tradition in the Greater Ottawa Area and it's worth the effort getting there! We hope to see you...  |
We have amended the activity list somewhat. We plan to shoe-horn these events into the already advertised schedule:
Saturday:
- Barn and wagon lines tour;
- Test run of Bob's rolling frame;
- Dodge engine pull ('55 ambulance);
- Cross country run to the S&P Museum for those who want to see what keeps Mike (AKA Gunner) busy - transport will depend on who wants to go and what is available. WARNING - you may be recruited to drive one of his vehicles to BBB333 and return (CCKW/deuce and a half/etc...);
- C15 strip down (third year running and still not stripped); and/or
- sitting on one's can quaffing ale (s).
Note on S&P Convoy 2008: Two factors will limit Mike's convoy this year - a lack of drivers and the cost of fuel. So, here is a chance for a lucky chap with driving experience to pilot one of Mike's treasures. A local consulting company has anted up to cover some of Mike's fuel costs, so we will see at least one truck/gun combo at BBB333.
