The Gathering

[Colin]

A quick link for all of those wanting to fly into Seattle and than drive up to Vancouver. There is actually a shuttle bus that goes from the Seasttle airport right into downtown Vancouver. Could be an alternative to the cost of renting a car. http://www.quickcoach.com/

I forgot to mention it before, but I can't say enough good things about www.hospitalityclub.org

For those travelling further and looking to meet some more canadians, this is a great resource. Also for if you're willing to meet people travelling [or, as Ms Holiday Golightly spells it 'traveling'] through your own hometown.

Click the link, read what the deal is, and if you don't join then you can at least feel a little better about the state of the world.

It had been a while since I last updated the information for the Gathering.

I have set up a group in meetup.com for people to RSVP for the event. If you are coming up for the event, please sign up and RSVP as soon as possible. There is no fee to sign up for the group.

I will be setting up a paypal account for you guys to pay for the Gathering Dinner. I will be posting more information in a later day as I am in the middle of tons of work right now.

I invite you to submit suggestions on what kind of games or activaties that you would like to do for the kilte games. We have a couple of ideas on for games and welcome more.

Bye for now.

Well, the Gathering is only 3 months or so away now. Maybe we should find out who all is still planning on coming up for the big events. I know Hamish and Dave W. are booked, is anyone else still planning on coming?

I dont think I can make it. I am building a house and that has me strapped.

Sorry I cannot make it, my nieces wedding will be in Jamaica at that time.

Come on, somebody give me some good news!

I'm trying to get up there! I think it'll be a riot!
My aunt wants me to visit her in Seattle, so I can kill two birds with one stone also.

All of this depends on fall school plans though. Things are still up in the air right now.
