Wanna go to The Works then? Spectacular burgers, not particularly a drinking place.

How many of us are from The sleepy town of Guelph?
Nice food at The Baker Street too!

I work in Guelph and did live there for three years or so, ending about five years ago. I suppose there have been half a dozen posters with a Guelph connection.

We bought our daughter a dog from Guelph. Does that count?

It's quite a tenuous connection, especially since the dog breeder was likely only administratively in Guelph, not actually in the town. Still, if you want to be counted as someone linked to Guelph, I'm not going to battle that desire.

My son was based in Guelph when the Keg opened there - he was training the bar staff.. and my nephew is a professor at Guelph Uni - as is his wife.

Tenuous connections at best,

I'm surprised to learn that there's a Keg in Guelph. I did know there was a university, I took a horse there once.

It’s a small world! Anything and everything counts in my book.

I was both in Guelph turn moved to the UK with my parents and then came back 13 years ago.

It it always confuses people when they ask where I’m from cause with an English accent I answer Canada!

its a good conversation starter.

If we can find a venue that'll work for the piffs and poffs please bring your accent out for review. Do you work in Guelph now?

The Piff and the Poffs are going to decline this time around I'm afraid. As we are doing drive about Mr Piff doesn't think we will be able to make it. But thank you so much for the suggestion and we will definitely be up for it next time about.

Does Guelph Uni have a veterinary studies faculty with a clinic, or did you take a course instead of a horse?
