Default The Parade-

If Jordan can get both jeep and carrier here , all the better.

Geoff seems a great option to drive , let's go with that.

Veterans get first priority as passengers, of course.

RV in the Kiwanas park bu the soccder pitches as per usual drill - can Stewart do his usual route by 0930?

"BRUNCH" enroute downtown for those who insist on gastronomicaly correct technical terminology. (Yet he calls everything in his shop a "thingy")

So far the attendees are -3x carriers, 1 x jeep 1 x Iltis. (and whomever chooses to join us.)

Fine with me - I put 30,000 miles on an M38A1 Jeep way-back-when, have driven an MB and did about 500,000 kms on a series of CJ7s and YJs.

Having said that, Sally is fully qualified to drive a stick as well (she can even double-clutch), albeit not a CMP without some practice...

...which brings me to another question - is Stewart bringing his carrier or his Chev, or both? I can handle the Chev if push comes to shove.

Last question - where the hell is the Kiwanis Park in relation to a fixed intersection? With my well-known navigational expertise I can find my way from there.

Looking forward to a good greasy breakfast...

Default Rv

NLT 0930 Hrs, WED Jul 1

on ROGERS Rd approx 600m WEST of SPEEDSVILLE Rd,

Cambridge (Preston) On.

The area has numerous baseball and soccer fields, and a lot of parking lots.
We'll have some Normandy Pl pers there to RV.

Breakfast ( brunch for the fussy ), followed by a move to the start line at the corner of Bishop and King in Preston.

I'm sure ales can be found in a local establishment, post parade.

Well I'd like to stay but its more of a case of where do I park the UC.

Ok I'll get my travel plans setup for pickup for 2:30pm and the truck is booked.

Gents,

Do you guys only do 1 parade a day?

I am able to do a late day parade in Stratford, so I can't linger too long at the watering hole...
