This is a direct copy of a thread/post i made on turbobricks.com...so ignore the parts that do not apply...need some input though...i will also send this out in email form

ciao

"Since Dale put up the PAC NW meet notice i thought i would post the other thread about the hopefully huge Volvo meet...:)

Temporarily planned for May Long Weekend...19, 20, 21, 22...

Basically in Calgary we have about 20 members of the local group, some who are not active TBrickers and cannot make long cruises etc liek the PAC NW would be...so the idea was to have other people come to Calgary to have a "2006 Meets Kickoff Party" involving a BBQ, a mini cruise (remember though, mini to us refers to distance, not the amount of cars...so a mini 8 hr cruise or something along those lines), and hopefully as well as a track night on friday the 19th...if the track is open (weather)...and if people can get here for that...

Temp Agenda...input needed to finalize something

Friday May 19 - people arrive and we have a track night followed by some sleep, for those from far away, wobbly pops, and food galore!!! (this may happen may not)

Saturday May 20 - Have a BBQ kickoff party at a dyno shop here in town...after do some photo shoots at various places around the city...basically just have fun in Calgary and allow people to "see" Calgary...who havnt before

Sunday May 21 - the mini cruise...TBA on that sunday...prior to sunday some of us Calgarians will plan it...but will not tell everyone where/what we are doing until the day of th cruise...i think this is a neat idea...especially for those out of town'ers who join us!

After the cruise either have a night of relaxation/hanging out/sleep...OR...leaving and heading home...although Monday the 22nd is a holiday so you can drive home that day too.

Thoughts, ideas, question, comments, suggestions???

ciao"

ciao...again

Sounds like a great idea, what more could you ask for, good friends, good food, and good cars .... and a good warm-up before the Three Hills Show

[QUOTE=Geoff240Ti]Well.. my camping trip is canceled now. There is a good chance I could make it! Are there any spots left on the dyno? My 244 won't be busting out any impressive #'s @ 10psi but it would still be fun.
So there is a slight chance I could make it...[/QUOTE]

so if Geoff comes from SK for the long weekend...i think he should def get a shot on the dyno...

So....there's

Ian
Matt
Athal
Viktor
Dale
Tyler's Lexus (yes???? no????)
Andy
Andy's Brother
Ricky (if his car is running)
Geoff (maybe)

ciao

With the help of Vik I have decided to make the trip out.. Not sure how put together the 244 will be (body wise), but figured it would be good to get my Volvo spirit back up, and meet the rest of the Calgary crew. :D

Looking forward to the Meet! See you guys then..
