I was hoping to hear from you Fred. It'll be good to see you again.

Great Mike.

Thanks Joe, sounds like a plan.

Glad you'll be there Fred. :)

Come on, Ralph. You have to at least start out as a maybe. Promise, no $50 dollar appetizers. ;)

Don't forget about me Pizza Man I will be there.
Fred, I'm pretty sure that Shorty and Boo will come. If you time it right you can catch up with her in Lewes, Del and come across the bay on the Ferry. Makes for a bit of an adventure and sure is a lot more calmer than the LIE! :eek:

Promise, no $50 dollar appetizers. ;)
Explain please. :confused:

Explain please. :confused:

It's a story I haven't revealed yet, please no more Seafood Surprises Bud. :D

Bud, you've almost convinced me. I am interested, but unconfirmed for now.

Cape May will never be the same! :eek:
My wife says, "Who's he kidding, with a bag that size"? I said, "Aah, he's got a big head"! :eek: :D

Bud, you've almost convinced me. I am interested, but unconfirmed for now.
Let the arm-twisting begin, gentlemen! ;)

My wife says, "Who's he kidding, with a bag that size"? I said, "Aah, he's got a big head"! :eek: :D

Trying to think of something clever to say here and it ain't working. Lets just say even though it will be Holloween, I promise not to scare any prospective attendee's away.

Back in my mis-spent youth, I sorta remember a tub of popcorn in place of the bag. :eek: :D

Bud, you've almost convinced me. I am interested, but unconfirmed for now.

Good, 'cause we're not done arm twisting yet. :)

That hot butter hurts. :eek:

You guys have been spending entirely too much time together! :eek:.....not that there is anything wrong with that :rolleyes: :D

Let's start tossing around some things to do during the Cape May Meet.

Friday Night - For the early arrivals, from 8 PM until ?? a Cocktail Party at Harpoon Henry's. (http://www.harpoonhenrys.net/)

Saturday - From 10 until about noon, we can meet at the Cape May Lighthouse (http://www.capemaytimes.com/history/cape-may-lighthouse.htm) or possibly a visit with a hosting Honda dealership.

From noon until 6PM free time. I will furnish a list of happenings in and around Cape May as I find them. There will be plenty to do, the Meet weekend is also Victorian Weekend. So, there are many events planned.

6 PM till?? Dinner at Menz's Restaurant (http://www.menzrestaurant.com/). We are currently working on the menu.

Sunday - Go home!

Nothing is concrete at this point. Offer any suggestions, questions or comments you may have. There's plenty of time. :)

All looks good to me Joe. I love the lighthouse as a first Meet point. Plenty of parking, walk on the beach, the bird sanctuary, the lighthouse itself and the WW II bunker still looking for subs. Beautiful. :)

Unless you have one lined up Joe, I could do without the dealer visit.

I'm partial to the Lighthouse myself, for all of the same reasons.

I'm working with a dealer trying to get some giveaways, but so far no success.

Unless you have one lined up Joe, I could do without the dealer visit.true, unless they would be giving stuff away or such. Can always move the lighthouse until after that.

true, unless they would be giving stuff away

With any luck, maybe a RL. :)

Getting dealers to sponsor is a pain in the butt... Goodie bags are always nice... You could add these.... :eek:

With any luck, maybe a RL. :)a Civic Si would be fun

The last Cape May Meet had some kick-ass prizes including two $250 dollar gift certificates for Ridgeline accessories. Won't even be close this year.

You can see it in August.... It's tuff with our jobs to be flexible so far in advance... Summer time there rarely is an excuse for us...

Count me in for sure

I put you on the confirm list, dgntlk. Where in South Jersey are you?

I will be using this post to list the events that will be available during Saturday's free time. There will be abundant free-time between the Meet at the Lighthouse and dinner to do as you choose. Pick the activity of your liking.

Cape May Whale Watch (http://www.capemaywhalewatcher.com/) could make for an exciting afternoon, weather permitting.

Washington Street Mall (http://www.washingtonstreetmall.com/), a shopping trip for the ladies in a completely remodeled Victorian outdoor Mall. For the guys there is antique/classic car show down the center of the Mall.

Located in the Cape May Convention Hall on the Promenade (Boardwalk) there will be a Crafts Show for Victorian Week, 10AM-5PM,

Cape May Winery (http://www.capemaywinery.com/) a little wine and cheese never hurt anybody.

Wildwood is a very short 10 -15 min. drive from Cape May.

Cape May County, Dept of Tourism (http://www.thejerseycape.com/)

Also, be aware that the Meet is taking place during Victorian Week. Expect to see a lot of Victorian era dressed couples walking around town.

I'll be adding more to the list.

Dan (ONDLINKS) has been working at a feverish pace to secure an Official Meet Hotel. It hasn't been easy for him, either. Seems the last time we were in Cape May we made a name for ourselves.

Dan tried going back to the same hotel and told them who we were, they remembered from the '06 Meet, and suggested we go somewhere else. :eek: Poor Dan, he gets no respect! :D

Dan is working with the folks at La Mer Motor Inn (http://www.capemaylamer.com/). I think it's a fine choice and the rates are quite reasonable for a Seashore Resort. The amenities are plentiful, the rooms are nice and the ocean view is completely unobstructed.

In the next day or two he should hear about whether or not a group discount is available for us and how many rooms would need to be booked to receive it.

And somewhere else we will go. I was takin' aback when the guy from the Avondale remembered the banner strung between balconies. Oh the horror!

The Le Mer looks to be fine place for us to chill. I hope to see a group discount. It will depend on how many rooms we commit to, I'm sure.

It's early yet so the more the better.

No Banners strung between balconies, please! :)

Shameful, isn't it? :confused: :confused:

Shameful, isn't it? :confused: :confused:

Don't forget that you're talking about a town where any outside improvements or re-design has to be approved by the town before they allow you to do it. The reason being so your house does not take away from the historic "victorian charm" of the town! They are totaly anal there....real pains in the a$$e$! :rolleyes:

I already got the Ferry Terminal entered into the Nav each way.
What route do you guys use to get to Cape May?

What route do you guys use to get to Cape May?
Do you mean from the ferry, Fred?

Do you mean from the ferry, Fred?
Yes how would you guys come from Pa. to the Ferry or is it another route.
I know nothing about Cape May when I was younger & in my teenage years my father would find all kinds of fishing spots in Del NJ. NY. VA. & MD.
We would catch charter fishing boats out of some places & they would be in the water near the areas of the resorts. I can't remember but he took me to some resort town up in NewJersey to go fishing we stayed in a house like a timeshare kind of thing. Then he took me out on a rented row boat I call it with the little outboard motor. The bigger boats were out in this water also fishing. I was glad to get back on land the row boat was to small for my for me.

Living where we do Fred, we don't need to take the Ferry. Over the Walt Whitman Bridge, pick up Rt55 to 347 to 47 to 626 which brings me into Cape May from the West.

Interested!!!:D

I'll update the roster, Media Man. :)

Thats what I thought but was not sure of the way you went.

If you're coming from Maryland, it may be easier to either take the ferry, or come across the Delaware Memorial Bridge to Route 40, which takes you to Route 55....then follow the rest of Pizza's directions.

Thanks I will jump on the ferry.

The ferry is a little pricey lately, but when you get off, you will be less than a mile from Harpoon Henry's, which is where everyone will be meeting Friday evening! Gives you a bit over an hour to relax before getting there, too! :D

Ok, after a dinner confab with Pizzaman, 63Tbird, mdwalls and myself, the La Mer will be the official Meet hotel. We'll be booking our rooms for friday and saturday night shortly. Sorry, no group discounts anywhere on weekends. Although off season, Cape May has plenty of activity for the fall season. The La Mer has a bicycle and antique car club booked for that weekend and I believe is half full already. You can book a room at La Mer for between $110-150 per night, depending on view. That price includes all taxes.

Some places but not all, may require a two night stay on weekends. We can help find a place if you only need a saturday night stay. The La Mer has rooms available now for a saturday night only but are ocean front and are in the $150 range

Cape May has plenty of places to stay, all look to be in the same price range.
I'll be booking my room on monday and report back exact info on my booking.

If your considering on staying a night or two, there's still plenty of time but would advise on booking early. You can always cancel.

Excellent work, Dan. As soon as Jeanette makes up her mind on how long she wants to stay, I'll be booking as well.

Nice work Dan. Suzanne and I are booked, ocean front. Great time last night , guys. :)

The hotel wants one night up front to reserve.

Hey! That's how I can get to the comma club. One line per post. :eek:

Great time last night , guys. :)
Yeah, we had a fun time. It's always good to see you guys.

Nice work Dan. Suzanne and I are booked, ocean front. Great time last night , guys. :)

Couldn't wait, just booked our room. Main building, ocean front, $139 per nite including taxes. You can go a bit less off the ocean.

Always a good time when we get together! :)

I think this was mentioned before, but that weekend is the "Doo Wop" weekend. From what I can see, a lot of hotels are booking fast, more than I thought they would have.

Where in for Thursday, Friday & Saturaday night, Ocean view, Main building. Figured we could us an extra day away from work. lol.

Hope everyone made it home ok from dinner. Nice place to meet, I think it worked well for us all. We had a great time.

From what I can see, a lot of hotels are booking fast, more than I thought they would have.The Cape May tourist season stretches from March through December. The Doo Wop Weekend you mention is in Wildwood, NJ. Just a short 10-15 minute drive from Cape May.

I'm adding that info to the attractions post (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/326620-post43.html).

Count Shorty and Boo in for this fun time.

Please have a stop at the wine shop for something to do.:eek: :D

Joe, do you want to do shirts again??

I hear the 70's look is back in again. :eek:

Joe, do you want to do shirts again??
We could, let's see what everyone else thinks about it. I visualize pretty much the same as the LI T-Shirts with your magic done to make it Cape May specific. The ROC logo across the top, whatever art work you decide. There will be no sponsors for this Meet so maybe we can put ROC Screen Names across the back.

I hear the 70's look is back in again. :eek:
I don't do bell-bottoms.

I like the look of the Cape May decal. With our ROC names on the back would be cool. :cool:

Took me awhile to find the Decal, Bud. It's here (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/141359-post282.html). I liked that decal, too!

Joe, Guess we have some time for Shirts and decals. Let me know when your ready to think about it and I'll throw out some ideas, if you want.

You can see it in August.... It's tuff with our jobs to be flexible so far in advance... Summer time there rarely is an excuse for us...

You don't want to miss this one, the outlaws Pizza Man, 63Tbird and mdwalls have commited to this and I hear long lost Stugot's may make a appearance.:D

The outlaws, secret society, how do you live up to that ?

What did you have to do go to the grave yard & dig him up?

I ran into him at the Badda-Bing, trying to unload this Jem (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/barrett-jackson-sopranos-auction-1/708661/)

The last time he was seen he was going for a little cruise on this boat (http://www.roostergraffixx.com/boat_lettering/stugots_rosie.jpg), never to be seen again. Later, the craft was renamed in his honor. A fitting tribute.

Glad you can make the Meet Fred. I made the Ferry treck from Lewis to Cape May many years ago. It's a nice ride, I was on foot because the boat we were fishing from out of Wildwood Crest caught fire and we jumped ship onto a fishing boat out of Indian River.......Long story. :eek:

Catch any fish?

Nothing official, but things are looking pretty good for this meet. Can't guarantee but its looking better.

Catch any fish?

Actually yes, with 6 lines in we hit a school of Bonita, 3 on, about 25 lbs each. While the Cappy was backing to the catch we noticed smoke coming from down below. We landed the beauties but now the boat is dead in 1k ft of water. All the wiring on the boat got toasted. No radio, no bilge and no nothing. Generator gone too. Ut Oh! Nobody in site and in the shipping lanes too. Dusk was coming fast. :eek:

You guys out fishing the Canyon? Where'd the help come from?

You guys out fishing the Canyon? Where'd the help come from?

Yes, the boat was a 1/4 million dollar (at the time was big bucks) beauty with twin Rolls Royce engines if I remember right, It was called the Magician. The Cappy was a off duty Wildwood policeman. When we were dead in the water he wanted to set off a limited amount of flares while still in daylite. Please save them for when dark. After floating about for a couple hours we spotted another sport fishing boat and flagged them with twirlling T-shirts. I know, in some instances it means stay away.

They came along side and they notified the Coast Guard in Cape May of our situation. The Coast guard ordered the boat to stay with us until they got a fix on us. Now we hear that Cape May doesn't have a cutter big enough to tow us in and they'll have to send one up from Ocean City Md. Oh My.

About this time, the other boat is running low on fuel and needs to get back to Delaware via Indian River. The Coast guard releases the boat but before they do, I ask why can't we jump on that nice boat. The Cappy sez it's to dangerous. After some persistance and a call by the other boat to the Coast guard they let us jump ship. I heard days later that our boat took 48 hrs to get towed to Ocean City Md.

And a fine ride back via the Cape May ferry. Damn we lost the fish. :)

Now, that's a fish story !

You'll find Joe on the beach, peddling some sort of locking device, ;)

Good night, Bro!

Interested but unconfirmed as of this date

Pizza Man,

Count me and the wife in. Just made reservations at the La Mer. We'll probably get in late Friday night as we'll be driving from Arlington, VA after work.

We are interested in the winery tour if anyone else is. This will be our second meet and we are both looking forward to it.

How does this sound to you guys?

I'm trying to arrange a 6:00 PM start at the restaurant. Things would kick off with a Cocktail Party from 6 till 7. I want them to serve finger foods during the Cocktail Party. Dinner would start off with the salad, then move into the entrees. I wanted to do an appetizer course, but things would get a bit pricey.

The 2006 Cape May Meet dinner was $27 or $29 a person. That was 2 years ago, prices will be somewhat higher this year. What would everyone feel an acceptable price per head would be?

Input would be appreciated.

What did we pay in Long Island last year per head?

What did we pay in Long Island last year per head?
Good question, Fred. I'll look it up.

Long Island Dinner pricing came in at $27. That was in Riverhead, LI. Not necessarily a vacation destination. Cape May is a vacation resort and pricing will always be higher.

Sounds good to me , Joe

Son of a B....! I just wrote up the Meet itinerary and lost it before I posted it. :mad: :D

Keith,

We enjoyed our time in Boston but my wife and I are both southerners. We are looking forward to some warmer weather now that we are in Virginia.

Cape May Meet Agenda:

Friday, Oct 17, 2008

7:00 PM - For all the Friday arrivals there will be a Cocktail Party Meet and Greet at Harpoon Henry’s Restaurant (http://www.harpoonhenrys.net/). Those who wish to can have their evening meal there prior to the Meet and Greet. The location is right on the Delaware Bay with beautiful sunsets over the mainland. Be sure to bring your camera.

Saturday, Oct 18

10:00 AM till noon – The official Meet will be held at the Cape May Lighthouse (http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=389). There is plenty of free parking, beach access and nature trails to explore. In case you’re bringing a pet, dogs are permitted on the beach in October.

Noon till 6:00 PM – Free time. Please refer to the Activities List in my signature line. Choose how you would like to spend your afternoon. Cape May is a Vacation Resort and is crowded through the month of October. It is almost impossible to stage a single location event and be able to find parking for everyone. We will be better off splitting up into smaller groups and hitting various locations.

6:00 PM – The Meet dinner will be held at Menz’s Restaurant (http://www.menzrestaurant.com/). A Cocktail Party will be held from 6:00 to 7:00. I’m arranging for finger foods to be available during the “Happy Hour”. Dinner will be served afterward. The Dinner Menu and Pricing will be announced as soon as I can finalize the arrangements.

Sunday, Oct 19, 2008 - Get away day. A free day to do as you see fit.

I will be posting Restaurant recommendations for you to choose from for breakfast and lunch.

What about the Friday Midnight meet and greet at the Avondale ? :eek:

According to ONDLINKS when he talked to them about room availability for this years Meet, he was told we should look somewhere else! :eek: :D I guess they remembered you from 2006. ;) :D

Yes, the owner remembered a menacing looking character and said his type would be better served in North Wildwood. :)

Sorry Bud, but some things will never be forgotten, and I wasn't even there when it happened.

The lobby greeting and the convoy to the car wash the next morning. My first meet. I thought, what am I getting into. It was all up hill from there. :)

Bud, you sure you don't mean "DOWN HILL" from there. :eek: :D :eek:
It's been very interesting to say the least.

[QUOTE=Pizza Man;327653]We could, let's see what everyone else thinks about it. I visualize pretty much the same as the LI T-Shirts with your magic done to make it Cape May specific. The ROC logo across the top, whatever art work you decide. There will be no sponsors for this Meet so maybe we can put ROC Screen Names across the back.


Hello All !!! Did you guys decide on doing shirts ? Let me know, I'll be in for a few. :D

I'm actively working with Menz's Restaurant tryingto nail down a decent menu with suitable pricing.

I've PM'd 63Tbird to see if he has the time to do the T-Shirt artwork. I doubt there will be very many ordered, so pricing will not be as good as it was for the LI Meet.

Hey, Joe, You know I'll help out on the shirts.

Any luck with the menu ???

Summer is just about gone. Time for one more meet before winter set's in. :)
For those close by that can't make a weekend of it, stop on by the lighthouse on saturday and make a day of it.

I'm looking forward to the Cape May Meet. I should make it for the Friday get together. We have friends that live in North Cape May, not far from Harpoon Henry's. Still have to make reservations for motel, was watching where most people were staying. Hope to see you in the Fall.

Glad to have you, Ubolt. I'll add you to the confirmed list. Maybe your friends will let you have their place for the weekend and save you a couple bucks.

I am not able to drive right now due to some recent injuries hopefully I will be able to drive by then. I will hopefully down on Saturday on 30 min drive so I will let you know as soon as I get the ok to drive.

thanks

Sounds great Joe ! I have a question pertaining to the dinner...... is there a childrens menu or different pricing for children ?
Any news on t-shirts for the meet ? See everyone soon !!! :cool:

Mike, Menz's has a children's menu (http://www.menzrestaurant.com/MenzChildrenMenu.html). You can have the kids order from that and square it up with the waitress separately. That's how we handled it at the '06 Meet. :)

Here is a link for Cape May Restaurants (http://www.capemaytimes.com/Restaurants/lunch.htm) serving breakfast and lunch.

I also urge everyone to choose their Saturday afternoon activity from the link provided in my signature.

Wish we could go!! It was a blast in 06.. :cool:

Thanks for posting the photos Carl. It was good to see them and think back to the first Meet. We wish you could make it, again.

Did you know the image of the guy in the rocking chair has only one leg? It's intentional. The founding owner of the Restaurant had only one leg.

That's a long haul Carl. We had a great time. My first meet.Hope to see you next spring or summer.

This is one of my favorite photos of the last Meet. It shows Jeanette's reaction to the frozen pizza we were served at the Friday night Mini-Meet.

Breaking Now:

It is official, I will be attending the meet, check is being sent Monday, there will be two of us coming. :)

Yeah, probably, .....but it is true! :D

Andrew, I need a favor. If I e-mail you a copy of the Dinner Menu, would you be able to insert the ROC logo and your RL line drawing on it? Then, I can send it to the Restaurant for printing.

You know Joe, all these favors are getting to be a little much, don't you think!

:D:rolleyes::D



Of course, send it on over, I'll take care of it for you. ;) No problem.

I'll put together a t-shirt design also. Being as we only have about a dozen or so, we'll print them here, just not white on a black shirt. I don't have the equipment to them that way. Maybe black on a slate blue shirt, hmm, kind of like the color of your Ridge.

Dinner checks received from mdwalls and ONDLINKS! Thank you, gentlemen.

I will update the Attendance Roster as I receive the Dinner checks.

Jeanette's a pro at shopping in Cape May. She knows all the good shops. We'll surely be sick when the girls return. Sadly, there are no good Men's Shops in the Washington Street Mall. So, it's all about the girls.

It works for me Dan, I'm sure Jeanette wouldn't mind.

I'm in (if your serious). Did a whale watch in Salem MA. Saw a couple of Right Whales. The cute young oceanographer wasn't bad either. :rolleyes: Suzanne can shop with the best of them. :)

Oh oh, we're in big trouble boys! :eek: Better bring fat wallets or pants with deep pockets! :rolleyes:

You got that right Mike, and you can be sureeeeeeee.... we will all be there, having a whale of a good time !!! Ohhhh nooo.... did I just say that ? :o
Dan, Joe, Bud, glad to hear you are in for the whale watching.... that's great !
We've been tagging alot of Ridgelines around New Jersey lately (Jersey City, Bayonne, Fords, Woodbridge, Marlboro,Perth Amboy, Patterson, West Milford )...... where are all you guys ??? There's still time to get in on this Fantastic Ridgeline Meet !!! It's Gonna Be Great !!! :):cool:

:eek: Hahahahaahahaahahahaha!

The tough part now is finding a room for friday!

Mike..... we got a room at the Days Inn in Wildwood..... give them a shot. It's only a short ride to the Cape from there. It'll probably be impossible to get something right in Cape May now. Like Joe said, alot of activities happening during that weekend.

Dinner checks received from k757, romeofrosty and Bob White. Thanks, fellas! :)

I'm going to be staying in the Atlantic City area on Friday, doing the tourist thing all day and saying "hi" to Donald Trump. See you all on the Saturday morning at the Lighthouse. Will be driving back to CT after dinner.

Check is going out tomorrow. We are still debating what to do for the hotel. As for the pre-dinner free time, most likely the car show and the tourist district. We'll be rolling out for the hike back north after dinner.

You mean you won't be joining us for cocktails Friday Night? :(

Whale watch sound good, as long as there is time for it, and Dan is staying on shore. I've heard about his boating experience and I don't know if I want to be on the same boat as him. :D:eek::D

Anyone have more details, time, place, sailing from where.


Dan, you may just have to go shopping with the wife's, :p

Hi Andrew, there's a link to the Whale Watch tour in the Activities List. (I am soooo organized :rolleyes:) It sails from Cape May harbor at 1:00 PM and it's a three hour tour. Just like Gilligan's Island! :eek: Gives us two hours before dinner.

PS - In the case of shipwreck, I call dibs on Ginger! :eek:

Using the "Who's On-line" feature I've noticed there are non-registered guests checking out this Thread. Come on folks, join the ROC and sign on to attend the Meet in Cape May, NJ. :)

You mean you won't be joining us for cocktails Friday Night? :(I am not sure yet. Depends on how my tourist day goes while wandering around. IIRC, AC and surrounding area is not overly large so it is very possible for my attendance for some beverages. I will likely take the local beach roads south out of AC... to see what I can see. I can always hit the casinos on the way back to the hotel (after bevs) :D

CM to AC is about 45 minutes to an hour. As long as you're sober, it is certainly doable.

Andrew, does Grace want to shop or whale watch ? Joe with this size group, we may need to reserve space.

She is thinking going on the Whale Watch, but not 100% sure. Motion sickness has gotten to her in the past. Would depend on the type of day, windy, calm, etc.

Andrew, does Grace want to shop or whale watch ? Joe with this size group, we may need to reserve space.
I've sent them an e-mail to see what the group rate would be. The minimum group size is 25. The ship holds at least 150 people, so I don't think space will be much of an issue in Mid-October.

Andrew, does Grace want to shop or whale watch ? Joe with this size group, we may need to reserve space.

Pertaining to the whale watching trip.... they recommend you get your tickets in advance. We did this at their online site. Adult tickets are $38.00,children 7 to 12 are $23.00

Thanks, Joe, Joe and Andrew. Bud

Thanks, Joe, Joe and Andrew. Bud

I'm sorry to say I just heard from JAC. She won't be able to attend. :( On the brighter side it's because her sign business is picking up.

You have any thoughts on this you'd like to share with us, Bud? ;)

No, but thanks for the post op. :D

Is there a triple nickle club ?

Looks great, how you do dat. Bud, what you think? :)

I've thought it over and I'll take care of the girls while you guys go looking for Humpbacks. :)

Menu looks great ! Dan, Suzanne said she might go on the whale watch and Grace might go too. We are going to have to firm this up so we can order tics.

I just talked it over with my better half and we'll make it a game day decision. If it's a nice day and there's room on board we'll probably go.

If not, the zoo sounds nice.

My Jeanette won't go on any boat, no way, no how! But, that doesn't mean I can't go. She's perfectly content to stroll the Washington Street Mall on her own if need be.

I get a side of beef every year. It just went to the slaughter house this past week and I’m waiting for the ready date. If all works out it will be the weekend before the meet.... My luck it will be the weekend of the meet.

Stores/businesses aren't open everyday (or nearly)? If they call and say to pick up your packages on that weekend, you say, "I'll see you on Monday." :)

hahahahaa

That's all fine and good for 99% of businesses out there open to the public. This is a different situation consisting of organic beef raised by a small cooperative of family and friends... It is purposely delivered on the weekend for all of us not to have to miss work as the rally point is about 100 miles away for most of us.......:p...

Come over and I'll cook you up the best steak you ever had and it will be from the worst cut.......

This sounds like a meat, I mean meet for next year. :D
