Well, the usual suspects were in attendance again, in order of arrival: Pooga, Dr JD, Sarge, CJ, and after a wakeup call, BC. Such a dedicated user, fell asleep while poking around the site! Something was mentioned about not drinking and mousing.
After brief discussion, it was decided that the Provincial would be at Craik. Rosthern was bounced around as an alternative location, but he private bocce court at Craik has so many points, that any other park would have to be spectacular to drag us from there. Also, Craik being quieter, we decided that Rosthern may to be full of campers (people, not vehicles) that it would be safer to bandie our balls in relative privacy.
If anyone is in the provincial parks this summer and has suggestions for next year, please note how busy the park is, if there is an adequate area for a bocce court and if there is a cook house or equivalent shelter for the shower that will arrive after we start the bocce game. I swear we are better than rain dancers for attracting moisture.
Other discussions ran from beer, to mowing, drinking and not drinking beer while mowing, to the chain of command and how you don't go around it, back to beer. I guess the warm weather must be here, for the number people that don't drink much at the table there was a lot of discussion about beer.
If you are coming to the Provincial Gathering, I will start another topic for that.
If you need a metal bed frame, contact BC.
And Pooga was very excited telling us about his new can packer.
