Good stuff, mab!

The Timmy's is small and, in my limited experience, it's often too crowded to get a seat.  I wouldn't count on being able to find a spot in there.

The Rainforest Cafe is noisy.

Ontario Rootschats meeting confirmed with the date yet?  If you booked  August 17th it would be hard for me to accept that because my daughter who will expect her first baby at that time, and she wanted me in her delivery room at the hospital but if the baby come early before August 17th then I will come down but her baby due was supposed on August 17th but doctor said it might be on August 25th.  Who knows.  Wait and see, Have you confirmed where and when for the meeting?

I would love get together near Square One in Mississauga???  Any ideas?  Please let me know thanks

Hi Karen,

Thanks for keeping me in the loop about the Ontario Roots Chat Meeting.   Really enjoyed last year and getting to put a face to a name.  Unfortunately Aug 17 is already booked in my calendar.
If this is going to be an annual event, hopefully I'll be able to make the next one.
Cheers,

Just popping in to keep this topic in focus and to say that willys son and me are waiting to hear when and where  ;D

Have car, will travel (within southern Ontario) and we don't care what the grub's like, if it's not good we won't eat it :D :D :D

I'm looking forward to another great meet and willys son would like to meet his distant cousin.

Genie  ;) ;D

This sounds so good, could you save a "proxy" chair please? Too far across the pond for me in person..

Have a great meet everybody.

Yorkdale was one of the places I suggested last year because I don't drive and have to rely on the TTC.

It sounds like a number of us can make it to Yorkdale.
