Oakville is hard to reach by public transit Dec 24, 2005

I would suggest that we look into something that is conveniently located on the subway line. I am not sure where everyone is coming from but people from the East end will have a hard time to reach Oakville and getting back. Same goes for people from North Toronto or from North of Toronto. Oakville is a 30 minutes drive from Toronto. I am not sure how others feel about going to Oakville although.

Oakville is a 30 minutes drive from Toronto. I am not sure how others feel about going to Oakville although.

I think before we decide on a location we should figure out if this is a lunch, dinner or an afternoon tee. I agree with PanPeter that we have to decide on this fast as 2006 is just around the corner.

I would also like to hear if Bojana did have something in her mind already as she is the one who suggested this get together.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Place & Time Dec 25, 2005

No matter what place we will pick, it will be hard for somebody to reach by public transport. There is a convenient GO train to Oakville, and I promise to pick up anyone who so desires from the GO station. In my opinion, lunch time would be the best, ie. high noon.

Re: Place & Time Jan 12, 2006

Bojana: you are a decision maker, and you will have to announce the place (is it Paradiso in Oakville) and time (best would be 12pm, we have to talk a little bit before having food)

Why not in Toronto Jan 12, 2006

I think it will be hard for all of us to go to Oakville.
It will cost time and money.It's plenty of good restaurants in Toronto,why not in Toronto?

Kado, can you suggest a nice place in TO? Personally, I would also prefer Toronto to Oakville, but I guess it's up to Bojana to decide on the final place since she is the organizer...
