Why don't we meet in Mississauga?

Perhaps because it's a godforsaken suburb. Still, if you can find somewhere with cask conditioned beer I'll brave the ugliness of the place.

The well know cyber pimp, Novocastrian and myself will indeed be meeting at the Granite Brewery which is on Eglington I think, somewhere around 6:30pm on Thursday 7th. All are welcome to join us!

If you know any the pub names in Mississauga, just let me know and we will be there (if you don't know any names I can get my cousing to give us one). Again we are arriving on 17th and returning on the Friday 22nd June. Also let me know what time suits.

Reading back, bunnett is staying in Cambridge and it should be reasonably convenient for dbd33 as well. It's a bit far for me but maybe I can convince the OH to be designated driver.

See you later dbd33.

Let's see if bunnett has a suggestion. I'd also have to check with the OH.

I too am thinking that the OH could come there, perhaps I'll even do the dutiful thing and drive.

OK. In the week that bunnett is here the Wednesday (20th) is definitely out. Lets see what s/he/they suggest.

On edit: Monday the 18th is out too I'm afraid.

Re: Anyone up for a Toronto get together

Well, bunnett hasn't replied in the last week, so I suggest we proceed without.

We're still OK for next Thursday June 21st, so we just need to firm up the location and see if anyone else is interested.

Cheers.

This is the place I had in mind...

As I mentioned, they do a fine pint of King Bitter from Nobleton.

Very good. I don't think we can be there earlier than seven, does that suit?
