tmac77 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I have seen a number of other idea's bandied about in chat for other activities while he is here. The Niagara Wine fesitval is also going on in St. Catherines during the time that Rob is here: http://www.niagarawinefestival.com/page/winefest_home This wouold be almost a whole day thing if you were to include a trip to the falls. Getting a number of FOH members out for a round of Golf with Rob. Might be a good idea to get a list together to send over to Rob so he can select his choices of each of them depending on his itinerary.
tmac77 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Also.. who are the cheepies who voted to go but not to contribute?
CDNeh Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I know that Rob fishes, but I have not heard him indicate that he plays the great Scottish Game. Stephen
tmac77 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I know that Rob fishes, but I have not heard him indicate that he plays the great Scottish Game.Stephen There is another idea. Not sure if the salmon will still be stacking up in the mouth of the credit river or not but a charter fishing boat trip is a good idea also
ckearns Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Herf. Golf. Fishing. Wine festival... Rob may have to cancel the last leg of his world tour!
Guest leanderdsilva Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Frank, I'm in, good for either Saturday or Sunday and happy to help cover costs. Same here..
CigarmanTim Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 You have room for a Detroiter as well? I promise not to loot and foul the place up too much CigarmanTim, are you planning on driving? Maybe we could meet up and make the trip together. I'll be driving....if I go... also contemplating the North Carolina trip as my company is there and I might be able to plan a paid for trip.
CohibaBehike Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I'm looking to come up for this, but I need to look into it more, I didn't vote to throw off the poll, however, either day would work for me and I would pay for the venue, I just need to look into the weekend. I'll let you guys know ASAP
Puros Y Vino Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Bump. Pres, can we get this pinned for a couple of weeks?
tdlfoto Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 great to find out Rob's coming for a visit!! i can make either date, and will contribute to venue. i will not, however, golf - loathe that game! looking forward!
Puros Y Vino Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Everyone. For those of you interested in coming, please PM an email address I can reach you at, as well as your first name. It just makes it easier to send out and collect info that way. For those of you who know I have it, don't bother. Everyone else: please send. I'll only use the addresses for pertinent event data. Otherwise, updates will be on this thread. Cheers, Frank
nick17 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 should be able to be there both days are fine with me and should be able to help cove a small cost not much as I'm a staving student
Puros Y Vino Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 should be able to be there both days are fine with me and should be able to help cove a small cost not much as I'm a staving student NP. Trying to keep the costs down as much as possible. The request for "pitching in" is for a "worse case scenario". Fail to plan = plan to fail I say. So, best to cover all the bases. PS. PM your personal email addy. Frank
Puros Y Vino Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Bump. So that locals see this and get back to me sooner than later.
CanuckSARTech Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Ladies and gentlemen (all 6 of the later - the rest of you are just schmucks!!! ).... Please, feel free to roll out the red carpet....the guest of honour may just be in attendance....drumroll please....CanuckSARTech may just BE ABLE TO ATTEND THIS GRAND HURRAH!!!!!! I'm just on here checking some things out (first reasonable computer access in quite a while again), and I saw a PM that Frank sent me with this info. As things on this end at basic are going for me right now, things are going fairly smoothly for me and my platoon. I'm on track to get done and out of here for the end of August. So, for the start of September then, I'd likely get my placement at Borden for the leadup to my trade training, and I'll likely be able to burn up a couple of weeks of leave time for the first few weeks of September, and I'll likely be able to be there for that weekend. Very likely, even if I have to beg, borrow, and plead if need be. So, I'm 90% definitely in. I agree - Tom is buying filet mignon and lobster tail for everyone (I've noticed what his spending habits have been - begesus, Tom, did you want to maybe adopt me for Christ's sake?!!?!?! ) My offer would be this..... Rob, I will have all the ammo you can handle, all the clay pigeons you can bust at, I will have my Toyota Tacoma and my fishing gear also at your beck-and-call, and can help out with the best of what you want to check out in southern Ontario. I will also, as long as we have a decent showing of members willing to attend and have some fun, I will get a box or two ordered from Rob for him to bring along with him maybe, and will have those available as a nice group gathering cigar to share. Who knows - if more arrive, maybe a nice full bundle of Czar custom "Tampas" for us all to enjoy. So, we'll just have to see how this develops over the next two months then. Rob, Frank, Stephen, Tom, et al - I thoroughly look forward to this sweet event. I'll leave my handcuffs at home.
Puros Y Vino Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Keith, good to see you check in now and then. And yes, leave the cuffs at home, Ken isn't on this trip.

Who knows - if more arrive, maybe a nice full bundle of Czar custom "Tampas" for us all to enjoy. Good idea Keith, another idea would be for Rob to pick out a sampler pack and then Lisa can send them on ahead of him so that the sticks are ready and well rested for his arrival.

He's already agreed to sneak in a Koala and a lifetime supply of eucalyptus leaves.
riazp Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 He's already agreed to sneak in a Koala and a lifetime supply of eucalyptus leaves. What? no kangeroo? i'd settle for a shark!
Puros Y Vino Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 I asked for a Croc to keep the dogs from crapping on my lawn. The Koala was easier to stuff into a box. Rob was going to try and tape the croc's mouth shut and attach a handle on his back to make him look like a suitcase.
Maron76 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I was planning on brining a box with me as well. Only thing is we would have to smoke them all because I can't bring them back home. I don't really see that being a problem though!
