Having attended a few STOVEBOLT get togethers over the years in various locations in the USA MY wife and I thought it might be a good idea to have one hear in Canada
specifically here in Whitby Ontario which is just east of Toronto .
We're thinking around mid may to avoid the chances of poor weather , but dates are open to suggestions so as not to clash with other events and we are flexible on the
number of days as well .
We are semi rural but still have room for quite a few tents in the back yard and a few campers in the driveway .
We are curious to hear if there is any interest and would appreciate any input coming our way .
Thanks
John

John, This is great to see if there is interest. Man, this would be a first with a Stovebolt event in Canada!!  Also good to see some more action in the Great Lakes Bolters!! You've got good people in your Forum who have some experience in GABfests!! Let us know how we can help.

John,
So glad you are putting this out there. YES, there is interest...Dad and I are in! You know we are up for a good Stovebolt gathering even if it's international!
My initial thought would be to vote for the weekend of May 6th-7th. (Possibly travel in Thursday the 4th with travel home on Sunday the 7th)
Between personal and work commitments, Mid to late May gets busy here.
--Mother's Day Sunday May14th
--Indy 500 Qualifying May 20th-21st
--Indy 500 Sunday May 28th
--Memorial Day May 29th
Totally understand that this is just one person's vote, so would love to hear from the rest of the group.
Thank you again for getting this started!
--Tom

John, Tom -
This is GREAT!! I didn't really think about it being: "Stovebolt gathering even if it's international!" That's sooo cool!
Plenty of time to plan, and "hear from the rest of the group."
If you need some "space" in the GL forum (like a sub-forum geared just for the GABfest - or whatever cool name you want to give it), we can make that happen.
This is GREAT!!

Great, John. As one of your nearest stovebolt neighbours, I should be able to help out, if needed. I hope to be able to come.
