Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks to da boys for putting together an amazing event. Spud, MisterT, Skater... you guys rock!!!! I love these events. Ottawa has a great community that seems to never stop growing - we had a mix of familiar and new faces all blended together in a fantastic location. Such a fantastic opportunity to mix and mingle with the loveliest women in the land and the nicest guys - what more could you ask for? I always look forward to these things... can't wait for the Christmas one!! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Better late than never but thanks to the crew for organizing this. A most excellent and fun evening. I don't think I ever had so many interesting conversations about smelt, yellow perch, and the Great Lakes' commercial fisheries. You DFO folks rock. (now how many people noticed the chalk board?) :P 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzitup 5652 Report post Posted September 21, 2013 My appreciation to the 3 Amigos for a job well done. I enjoyed the venue and had a great time meeting so many lovely people. Thanks again, MisterT, Skater, and Spud. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister T 45020 Report post Posted September 22, 2013 Some final thoughts, now that the dust has settled and that i had time to relax a bit !! I want to thank Loneskater and Spud for their help in my organizing this social. It was an amazing experience organizing it, and comments we received in person, on this thread and in private were all positive. We've noted a few things to improve upon, as there's always room for improvement. Loneskater and I have had a chance to chat, and i can speak on his behalf here on the fact that both of us will be involved in organizing the December social. I want to provide forward notice that the next one will be on December 12th, but please wait until the official thread is started in a few weeks to contact us (messages sent concerning it will be unanswered), as we want to take a bit of time off to recover lol !!! Cheers!! 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icebreaker 3938 Report post Posted September 22, 2013 I wanted to add my belated thank you to MisterT, Loneskater and Spud for organizing such a wonderful social. It was great to see many familiar faces as well as meeting some new people. Also want to say thank you to ALO for the prize.

spud271 47779 Report post Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) I want to wish Mistert and Loneskater the best of luck with the Christmas Social. The hope is I will be back in late spring to early summer and might be around for the social next fall. If all goes well, I will hopefully be able to assist Mistert and Loneskater again soon! Everyone enjoy the Christmas Social and give the boys a bit of a chance to recoup a bit before they start planning for December!

Guest P*rry Report post Posted September 22, 2013 My expectations for my first social were high. They were matched and surpassed!! The atmosphere, venue and grub were great. To match faces to names was a treat. What was a pleasant surprise was the eclectic mix of interesting people. Mistert, Spud271 and Loneskater thank you so much for the time and energy you put into organizing the September social. It was a lot of fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mprobert 170 Report post Posted September 30, 2013 I keep kicking myself for not going to the September one. So the minute the December one gets a move on, I'm signing up! Can't wait to meet all these wonderful people and hopefully a new circle of friends! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest h****sho***9 Report post Posted September 30, 2013 Just a quick thank you to everyone that donated prizes at the social. I was a lucky winner of a ALO one and plan on using it soon. And again, as already mentioned, thank you to the great organizers of the event and all the wonderful ladies that came out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viccowboy 120 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 Any plans for November social? How about November 15 or 16? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister T 45020 Report post Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Any plans for November social? How about November 15 or 16? There are no plans for a November social. If you read the thread ( a couple of posts back), a date has been set already for the next one, in December, but wait until the official thread before contacting me or Loneskater. These involve a lot of work, and by tradition, will be kept on the same months as in years pas, as it works well for most people. Thanks for your interest and ideas, though! Addendum: The Ottawa socials run in September ("Fall social"), December (our "Christmas Social", February ("Valentine's social") and May (for a Spring inspired one).

Guest *rb*n C*wb*y Report post Posted October 9, 2013 I just spent the past hour reading all 293 posts in this thread! Sounds like you guys sure know how to generate hype and follow through with it too! As an infrequent lurker and even more seldom contributor, I felt a small pang of envy that I ignored this thread until the event long happened and everybody had such a blast! The DFO cover story sounded hilarious. Had I been there, you would have seen my jaw drop, because I actually work for this department... LOL! I'll stay tuned for a Christmas event and perhaps hope to get on the attendee list... or the nice list... or the naughty list. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
