Ontario Tree Jam

[davespencer]

So how about it guys?

There are some great parks in my town with some nice spreading willows to play in or up to 100ft silver maples and oaks.

also have a nice pub nearby for afterwards.

So I'm in, and I'm sure at least 3 other people I know would probably come.

I will suggest Georgetown Fairgrounds, this Saturday November 27. all ages and experience welcome.

Weather is supposed to be +7 and possibility of rain but I don't think the weather will be much better than that until spring.

I will confirm here if it is a go (if enough people are interested) and post a map.

I betcha if Mark came we would get a lot more people out /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So who's in?????

 

[Mangoes]

Dave,

That is short notice, I could slip by in the afternoon let me know official start times. May be while we're at it lets set up the next one. Dec. 11? or maybe the first weekend in Jan. Start of the year with a good day of climbing with friends.

 

[davespencer]

Turns out Sat is not so hot for me now. Only Mangoes has shown an interest so far. If people want we could try sunday or I kind of liked the idea of the first weekend in Jan.

Dave

 

[Mangoes]

The first weekend in January would serve a couple uses. Get some networking without productivity season interfering, get curious guys like treefarmer out, and I could invite any inexperienced students from Humber out for an intro. That should be their first week.

 

[treefarmer]

I'd be up for the Jan 8 and 9 weekend. The weekend of 1st 2nd is my tenth wedding anniversary wearing a climbing harness after what my wife would do to me, might be shall we say uncomfortable. /forum/images/graemlins/ahhhhh.gif But really any time after this weekend I'm sure I could squeeze something in.

 

[Treeish]

Is this where the inexperienced students sign up? Put me on that list for sure! /forum/images/graemlins/applaudit.gif

 

[Mangoes]

Time to get this ball rolling..... I propose an event on Sat. Jan 15. At the Humber Arboretum, Humber College, North Campus. 9:30 am.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

I'm so there Dude! .... Oh wait, I'll be down in the dirty south then. Shucks!

 

[Leif]

Mark, what are you going to be doing in the dirty south? Climbing seminar?? How dirty and how far south? /forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Yup, a seminar/competition. It's in Augusta GA. Is that dirty enough? /forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[davespencer]

the 15th sounds good to me. I'm pretty excited. I'll see if I can round up a few others to come out.

Dave

 

[Mangoes]

I start teaching at Humber next week, I'll let those in charge of the arboretum know our intentions. I've got half a dozen that should be there.

 

[davespencer]

any one else from the buzz planning to show?

Dave

 

[davespencer]

so is everything a go? Mangoes, give me a call at 647 220 8776.
see some of you tommorow.

Dave

 

[Mangoes]

I'll be there... got one passenger in tow, working on others however.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

So,...... how'd it go?

 

[Mangoes]

It was cold.....and quiet. But hers what we did.

 

[Mangoes]

There weren't many of us... 4 to be exact. Me, Dave, Andy, and 11 year old Nick.

 

[Mangoes]

Twas some cold....

 

[Mangoes]

Nick was a trooper...made it to the first big limb, with numb hands!
