Next event is Arlington drive 2014

I just wanted to add to this thread that the date of the Arlington picnic is Saturday, June 7th.

Ken, you're definitely on the right track.

Patrick in This thread: wrote: I heard from a little birdy today that Jet City Fieros will again be having their annual picnic at the same airport in Arlington this year. It will be held on Saturday, June 7th. From what I understand, they're going to have all the Fieros parked in closer proximity to where the tents and food are set up this time. I think that's a good idea. There's always been quite a separation at previous Arlington picnics, with the cars (and the people looking at them) way off by themselves. I'm hoping this year we can take a more interesting route to Arlington. Heck, we can get really inventive and take different routes going down and coming back! We're driving sporty little cars. No need to take a boring route designed for transport trucks. Let's make the drive there and back a fun part of the total experience.

I'm hoping it might soon be possible to again upload images directly into our posts so that we can show a few different options on maps with various routes. (Yes, I know we can link to images uploaded to Photobucket or wherever, but that's quite a nuisance.)

Damien... Colby... are you able to resurrect this very useful forum function/feature?

Not on this server we're using right now. I'm working on migrating things but it's going to take some time. Until then, you could try one of the image hosts which don't require registration.


Crossing at Sumas would be very convenient for me. I know there are some more interesting roads out that way as well.

Hey Colby, somebody was looking for you phone number at the meeting.

Actually my thought was to meet at the usual place and then
drive along 0 (zero) avenue or thereabouts to the Sumas
Crossing. Or Fraser highway.   

I'm not going to be able to make this trip as I have
relatives visiting so I really don't have a say in this.

Can I please get a count on who all is going as we have to
think about food. Members- Spouse- Guest- Kids- Friends.
Members and Spouse are covered. Kids and guests are $5.00
per person.

I was just going to say, "might I recommend a batch email from the club server" however now I am not sure if those will still go out.

     Glenn in order to get a full count, the message needs to go out on both email lists, hopefully a batch email to the site members. IIRC you are already doing the Craigslist ad's about things so out there too. Then start a tally from all those places.   I will go ahead and change this thread to an announcement on all boards in this forum. That way more people will see it.

Ah, good point!

Sounds fine to me.

Other suggestions are welcome, especially from anyone familiar with the roads in Washington State.

 

Okay, this event is now less than a week away.

We need some feedback on the route.

Heck, we need to know who's planning to go!

The only people I know for sure are myself, Maureen, Glenn, and Charles (whom will join us as we pass through Bellingham).

I know Colby wants to go, but it's questionable that his Fiero will be back together in time.

Who else is planning to participate?

Don't be shy... speak up.
