English Bay on the Grassy bit by the beach sort of in front of The Sylvia?
Means there are places to go if weather isn't sunny. Plus good and liquor stores to replenish supplies.

Room for cricket / frisbee. Paddle boarding canoeing etc

It isn't firework night.

Good call.

We could try for the Friday 8th if people would rather. It'd be nicer weather.

No, that's two weeks earlier and they're never on a Friday anyway.

Will the meet up be with British Expats.. or New Vancouverites? From reading the last couple of pages I am seeing a difference

Lol well I'll start a MEET Up thread- looks like old style Expaters from Van or wherever, if they are in the vicinity ... and then any newbies can come if they are brave enough

Some of those sticky's have been there for years. You just naturally look below.

I think that dressing up box has been raided a bit early, clearly we're back at school now. Heaven forbid anybody be seen as a nerd.
Just to clarify I was merely making the observation that I think a trending post attracts more interest than a sticky one for the longer serving member.

I was not trying to cause a kerfuffle. In my opinion (which everyone is entitled to by the way) the event will draw in more people by trending.

Not that I can attend sadly. Distance and all that. I'm usually down for a good drink up. Been a while since I played some cricket too. In the old days I used to open the batting at Aldershot CC. I even got into double figures a few times.

No. I don't think you will.

Perhaps the thread title needs to change as from your own posts that sentiment is clearly not the case. I shall ask Schnookololy.

Had you not seen fit to be unpleasant the thread would have stayed on track . So you own the responsibility here.

To be clear, I am not happy with what I have read so the thread will close if I see anymore nasty wisecracks & you may find yourself reflecting on your post tone and content.

Just had a look at that for the first time.

It shows threads from all across British Expats.

Is there a way I can filter it for "Canada" and "The Maple Leaf" only???

Used to be. It's in the reported issues linked my signature, can't remember which number. Stickies show up of they have a reply.
