Gauging Interest: Vancouver Island Meet

[derrick]

As there is some interest in having a meet on the Island, I've started this thread to see how many members would come out with us.

The main drawback is the outrageous ferry fees, but we may be able to carpool or get some kind of group discount.

Please put your name on the list if you are interested and details will be posted as they come.

I go to the island frequently, although mostly to Comox (my hometown).  Good Luck trying to get a discount, even with my work getting a discount out of BC Ferry is nigh impossible.

If you guys end up being short a seat for a carpool, I would definitely be willing to trade my car for a day or two.

[Spunnel]

I'm willing to drive people around when you get on the island
