Family Appreciation Days – 31 May and 1 June 2014 - Ottawa

[Eric B]

Hello Stuart (and all).

Thanks for posting the details. I had deleted my e-mail with the details a while back.

I did attend the NDMC in 2012 with my GPW as did an 8cwt from the Swords and Ploughshares Museum. There were at least three DND vehicles present as well.
There were no wavers to sign, just vehicle insurance required. We were treated well and were provided a late lunch. That was unfortunate about the Iltis.

As most involved in the MV world we try and support as many events as possible. A DND Family Appreciation Day, Support Our Troops event, Veterans Week etc are all worthwhile causes. In my last posting i didn't mean to sound like the DND Family Appreciation Day was not worthwhile attending and do apologize if that was how it came across.

Those asked to attend the Family Day in the past were well aware that this was not an MV event.

If somebody with contacts with any of this years organizers would be kind enough to research more about what is required for private MV’s to participate in this year’s event, and then posting it. That would be appreciated as I know not everybody would be travelling to the Oshawa area that weekend.

Thanks

Eric
