It is time to announce our first cruise of the 2009 season. Sunday June 14th...We will be meeting at the Flying J for 1PM, 3700 Highbury Avenue South London, ON N6N 1P3 which is just at Highbury and 401 very visible from the 401. at the south west corner of the parking lot. From there we will be traveling to Ipperwash beach on Lake Huron. We plan on arriving at this beach that we can drive and park on around 2:30. From the beach we can swim, tan, visit, boat and tube for the afternoon (Our fiero is now a boat we all can enjoy). After the beach we will be heading just slightly north to Port Franks Yacht Club to enjoy a BBQ and camp fire ( www.pfyc.ca ). At PFYC your entrance and BBQ will be taken care of by SOFA so you only need to bring chairs and munchies.

Any questions?

Pete

Here are some pics from the past.

Count Dave E Bouy and Sue B Do in. I've been itchin for a cruise for a while. I've had the Fiero out since late March. See everyone in a month or so.

I'm in as well! I'll be bringing my gf too

------------------

Great plan. Ipperwash, the sand, the lake, the boat, BBQ at the Yacht Club. What more to ask?

Arn

Would love to come, actually we'll be in the area but heading home from Vanfest in Aylmer. Going camping that weekend for the big van/truck show with a bunch of friends (11-14th) we will be in the blazer and not the fiero.

Thanks for the replies, keep them coming so I know how much food to get. Remember you do not have to bring your fiero, just an interest in them. Also this even is open to friends and family.

Pete

------------------

I'm going to try and make it. I have the Black Bear rally on the 13th, in Dorset so hopefully I can get back, get some sleep and come out.

Ellen and me for certain. (oops)

I'm going to try and make it out too.

But I might only have time to meet you guys at the beach and then take off after that. I'll see if my dads got time to cruise out with me in his z3.

This cruise will be a leisure cruise. A nice relaxing country drive with the Beach at the end. Stopping for a breather in Forest likely. The Lake Huron beach is a peach. The water is clear and and sand is clean

Ellen will be away but I'll be bringing Dexter along.

Arn

Better get this back up near the top. Looking forward to seeing the SOFA peeps again.

I sent out an email to our list, so check your bulk emails in case your service identifies it as junk.
RSVP for a head count for food please and thanks. The weather looks good and we'll have a great day.

Arn

wish the border crossing wasnt such a b!tch anynmore......

I never got the email, but count me and one other in...

------------------

sorry im not going to be coming, its alittle too far of a drive for me, but im curious about your fiero situation PBJ, i wasnt aware that you still had one, and if you do id love to see what kinda creation you've come up with, all your past projects were very interesting.

matthew

Hi all. I've taken the week off and am taking the family camping, so I won't make it to the cruise this year. Have fun and post some good pics!

It's supposed to rain, but who knows about those weather predictions

------------------

Saturday is 30% chance of rain. Sunday, our cruise day is clear and sunny

For the guys in Michigan, the Bluewater Bridge is pretty good on Sunday morning. If you have your passport or Nexis card it is a breeze. Hope you can come.

Arn

The day is coming near. I doubt with all the cold weather we will be swiming in lake Huron, but bring some shorts you can wade out to the boat if you want a ride, cause there is no dock at ipperwash beach. I will still have the tubes if any are daring enough to go for a ride.

Pete

------------------

Can't wait should be a great time!

------------------

I'll be working this weekend, but would like to attend future events and need to do a little more work to my car yet so looking forward to another time.

Thankyou Pete and Becky for hosting a great time at the Lake today. Pics will follow. Nice folks, nice time, great weather.

Arn

------------------

It was a great day, thank you all who made it out! Increadable weather, especially compared to every other day this year. It was warmer at the beach then in London today. Thanks too for sharing the pics, and to Arn for helping us put this together.

Pete
