Ok —— now back to our regular programming

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Glad to hear that ?

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Since Fred is retired now maybe he could go ahead and set up a barbecue for us in the mall parking lot.

Back to regular programming ?

 

[Ohtobbad]

that was fun, but yes back to regular programming, we will do our best to find somewhere to eat.
As always expect some problems, with any luck everyone gets fed and no one dies of starvation
on the Run.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Yes I agree, thanks Dave for getting the Ball Rolling ?

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

Yeah it will all come together. Plenty of time. No panic .

There is a Pizza Delight Across from Amherst Mall.Not sure about seating capacity and parking may have to be across the street at the mall.Not sure how people feel about parking in a mall parking lot.

We should be able to park together at the edge of the Parking Lot ?

 

[Ohtobbad]

I have an Idea, let Charlie do his research and make some calls and we will see.
Currently is to look at options, not many can feed a 100 plus people which were our original
numbers last year, the sketchy day lowered that to 94 people.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Crazy numbers, 94, we will probably be 100 for sure this year ?

So much depends on weather can make or break almost any thing we do.
But its a sun or rain run, unless calling for monsoon

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Rain or shine for sure ?

Yeah that was part of the problem last year. Many in Amherst could not accommodate such a large group. I reached out to pizza delight and they were iffy. We went the route we went because they offered more choices and not just one type of food. And they were happy to have us. I will be doing some more digging but I will be honest it looks like it will more then likely be the same spot if they will work with is again. Stay tuned.

I thought that the pub that we were at last year was fine but I felt that the kitchen was a little overwhelmed with the amount of people that arrived pretty much at the same time.

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

Yes you are correct there Sheldon. They were well informed of the numbers ahead of time however their lack of planning bit them in the but a little. But nothing that cannot be fixed.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Ya, hopefully last year was a learning experience for them and they will be prepared this year ?

...and if not, we make it work as a group! After all, it's about the people and cars & passion we all share. If you're worried the dining experience won't work...pack a lunch!!

 

[TrueBlue02058]

I have short order cook experience, worked for Harvey’s and another Montreal Burger joint 40 years ago, I can Supervise ?

A retiree doesn't start back to work in a management position...they are on the front lines! How many orders you think you can remember before screwing up?! ?

 

[2001BlackGTvert]

Yeah I agree. I am sure they learned from their experience from last year. But you can always pack a lunch like Aaron suggested.

All jokes aside we will do out best of what is on our control to have whatever place we chose ready for us.
