Richard, what are your plans if it rains? Rose Ann
Thanks Murray - I am coming in from the Beaches area in Toronto and do not drive - willing to meet at any place convenient for a drive. Hope to hear from someone.
Dyan, I don't know where you are, but I am happy to offer a ride to anyone coming in from the corridor Hamilton - Mississauga, or from Cambridge area, etc. I'm in Brantford so it's a drive anyway. More is better.
I would love to attend but would need a ride in, or at least a ride from any subway station.....if anyone can help me out, please advise. Thanks, Dyan
Hey there! I booked my spot for this event! If anyone needs a ride let me know! I am coming in from Richmond hill.
