MAY MUDDY MADNESS -- 10 MAY 08 -- 10:00 AM

Meet at Family Fair Restaurant, Main Street West, Grimsby, at 10 am for the usual jaunt through the unimproved roads of the Niagara Escarpment. Bring wellies, recovery straps, winches, etc. if you have them, or rely on others, your skill, and good fortune to see you through. We'll end up back at the restaurant, so bring something to change into in order not to muddy up the place too much.

DRIVE THE DRUMLINS -- 19,20 JULY 08 -- 10:00 AM

We are planning to do a Drive the Drumlins as we have done before, with a plan for a trail drive and for cars as well.

Details will be finalised later, but definitely include the necessity for everyone to provide their own food and accommodation overnight, as well as chairs, etc. The Osmonds' place could be the operations base with swimming provided, of course. But Bill would like to draw a line about rinsing off vehicles, as they are on a well.

Everyone planning to participate should please reply to John Rosenthal in advance, so we will know how many to provide refreshments for.
