Title: Cruise to Kingston
Post by: x-thumpr-x on September 11, 2003, 05:35:25 pm
The GTA Fiero Club and Ottawa Fiero Club are getting together in Kingston on Sunday September 21st. We will be meeting in Kingston at Portsmouth Oylimpic Harbour Park around 12pm.

The GTA Club will be gathering at a Tim Hortons that morning around 9-9:30am in Bowmanville of of Waverly RD & 401 northside of bridge. We will be leaving at 10am sharp for the 2hr drive to Kingston. We will have FRS 2way radios on us and set to channel 9 code 21. (easy to remember)

The cruise as usual is open to anyone who wants to come out and join us with or without a Fiero.

As for the organizing of the Ottawa club, I have yet to recieve any info on who's running thier side but have been in contact with a member  and they are looking forward for this gathering also. We're hoping a few of the Montreal Club will come down and join us for this day too.

Anyone living in Kingston know if Portsmouth Oylimpic Harbour has BAR-B-Q facilities or is it bring your own? When we get out there, alot of people might be slightly hungry. If they don't, maybe we should look into a place to get a bit to eat close by. Also hope any Fiero's in & around Kingston will come out and join us too!!


This is a posting I put on Pennocks.

couldn't chip in the exrta 20 for the sub-codes eh? haha   Where is Kemptville? We will be taking the 401 striaght to Kingston.  Hmm how many others don't have the sub codes on thier FRS 2ways? Maybe we should change it so everyone can use them?

  I got my radios from the Lachute flea market, cheap. I may get one with the subcodes just for me. Kemptville is just off the 416 half way between Ottawa and the 401 at Prescott. CYA Kevin

I'm still in!  ;D  Would be great if we could meet up somewhere and take 10 from westport to kingston, although we don't have to but it will be fun.  I'll see if I can borrow a radio for the weekend.  All I have are the old 25-watt motorola bricks.  I wasn't all that impressed with the FRS so after the 20th show, I went and returned mine...

Heck Gary I would give you a ride but my car doesn't seem to like you. It breaks when ever I take you for a ride in it. I know you are going to call it driver abuse but this is my story and I can tell it anyway I want.
Hopefully you can get a ride though it sounds like it might be a good time. I am going so keep the parking lots clear of bumps my car doesn't seem to like them either. Dan

In my defence, I can only comment that I was not in the car at the time (the first one either).  ;D  ;D

Thanks Karl!  No prob on the co-pilot spot.

This way I get to bring my toolbox and also don't have to look under all those  trucks. :D

Anyone who has stuff to bring can stash it in my 'real' vehicle.

Karl, thanks for responding. I could meet you in Kemptville but never having been to that town.... I assume that's off hiwy 43 towards Perth from the 416... I'll be there for 9:30 Sunday unless weather is the Shits! No, I don't own a cellphone, so I'll try to be early!

  Hi Sandy. Kemptville is right off the 416 going west (right) on #43. How about we meet in the Stinson Gas station instead of the CTC, it is right across the street just after the round-about on the right. There is a Country Style so we can get a caffeine fix while we wait for Karl to arrive.  Let me know if you need any more info. CYA, Kevin

Ok, so now it's the Stinson gas station.... I'll try for 9:15am. I'm assuming if I leave Orleans around 8:30/45, I should be making it for 9:15/20.
see you guys there!
Sandy
