so the Niagara meet is just a few days away.
i’d like to address a few issues that people have been asking in public so that everyone can see.
PASSENGERS & GUESTS
yes you are welcome to bring as many people as you like.
my only request is that everyone, or almost everyone, eats at the buffet. the revenue that the restaurant generates is what allows us to reserve the large rear dining room and give us our own seperate entrance not to mention use of 90% of the parking lot as well.
i would also ask that you and your guests be on excellent behaviour.
even though there are people helping to organize this event it is still going to be difficult for myself and impossible for the management of the restaurant to keep an eye on all the people at this meet.
it is likely that 100-140 people will show up at one time or another and keeping track of everyone is not going to be easy at all.
PARKING
this is a big issue.
there is a large gravel lot at the back that we can use, but there are 2 dumpsters in the middle of it and when it rains it usually puddles up in the centre. that said, even despite these issues we can fit another 30-40 cars back there.
once the large convoy from mississuaga shows up we will likely fill up all the spaces and then fill in the lot inbetween. making little room for cars to come and go as they please.
i will be moving some of the concrete barriers between us and the next lot so that there is a way to exit for the parked cars.
i will try to accomodate as many 240sx’s as possible, but there will be supra’s TT Z32’s etc in the parking lot with us.
the parking lot next door is quite large and alot of local guys gather there with modified cars every sunday evening before cruise night to the falls.
the miata club is gathering there on sunday afternoon as will many other local car guys, so it is likely that the lot next door will be almost as fun as the one at the restuarant.
DINNER
it is likley that there will be too many people to all seat comfortably at once even though the dining room has a capacity of 80 - 100 people.
what we will do is have a 2.5 hour buffet window where all the people who are eating can sit and eat at their own pace. it is likely that this will be between 5-7pm.
diners are free to go back and forth from the dining room through the large seperate entrance.
this will make it more difficult to organize and manage for myself and the restuarant, but it will be easiest for the guests.
NAME TAGS - WRIST BANDS
when paying for the buffet people will be giiven a name tag to wear. i am trying to find sticker wrist bands but i cant for the life of me for some reason. anyone got the hook up on that?
on the name tags persons should put their forum Id and their real name.
please post your questions here and i will try to answer then promptly.
there is a 30% chance of isolated showers on sunday.
that is about the same as we had last year.
unless there is a monster thunderstorm, this meet will still be taking place regardless.
