This is a pot-luck style BBQ event! Please bring (1) item to contribute to the table of food! Burgers, buns, soda, water, chips, other snacks, etc. are all encouraged!
Also bring folding lawn chairs!

Please comment within this thread if you can provide any of the above!

Please read the below details carefully. There will be planned cruise(s) departing from both Edmonton and Calgary the morning of the BBQ. There will be a pre-meet at determined locations, following a planned strictly speed-limit only cruise to Red Deer. From Red Deer we will depart to Sylvan Lake. We actually managed to mostly find parking in the main lot last year, there was lots of open space still by noon that day!

The Sylvan Lake BBQ Meetup (Final Location):
This is the destination where we will be cruising out to. Parking will NOT be "together." There is street-parking and lot-parking along this entire area. Parking should not be an issue as long as people are patient.
Find parking, and then come hangout for the BBQ! There is a large open green space in the area I've shown with many picnic benches, trash cans, and there are public washrooms a bit further down. The beach is also ofcourse right here. There was discussion in our other thread about not wanting to make this a "hard-parked" show n shine style event where we stand around in a mall parking lot under the beaming sun. Therefor; the effort I'm making is for this to be a fun "family-friendly" afternoon hanging out in the nice weather, enjoying some BBQ foods & drinks, and talking about Subi's or cars in general with friends who share the same interest!
Expected arrival time from the cruises is early afternoon.

Stoked!

July 2 and August 5 don't work for me since I generally leave Calgary on long weekends.

I'm leaving my vote out until I know more about my summer plans.. Chances are I'll be out of country again, this time it's unlikely I can be home for a week.

Polaris · « **Reply #5 on:** May 11, 2017, 08:04:27 PM »

Yay!

July 22, 23, and 29 works for me, doesn't matter which one!

I volunteer to grill as well. 10sec and I would make a great grill team.

I'll bring my cooler and drinks again, maybe some meat. I think I brought meat. MMM meat.

Hopefully I can make it out this year! Ive missed all the Calgary/Edmonton meetups

Jimpreza111 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2017, 09:03:15 AM »

I can bring some sporting goods and some beverages!
I have a NFL size football, baseballs, gloves and bat, Bocce Ball and a few others.
Will grab a flat or two of water and maybe some pop/gaterade.

Dev · « **Reply #12 on:** May 12, 2017, 03:03:42 PM »

I can bring some snacks and chips

milkpumba · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2017, 04:45:51 PM »

I'd be able to bring a cooler with ice and drinks if you guys think we would need another one since Spencer is already bringing one. I'd also be able to bring a bluetooth speaker if needed!

ButterBear · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2017, 05:05:20 PM »

I can bring a cooler too lol I believe my parents have a propane bbq they want to get rid of so if someone can bring it (haven't checked how to take it apart or fit in my wrx) / want a cheap bbq lemme know

Update: I've changed the Poll after talking with a few members who were unable to make any of those dates. 10Sec, who was a big help coordinating this with me last season is unable to make many of the dates and in speaking to some other people this week they too had vacations in July and were unable to make any date.

Furthermore, the leading date in the poll of July 22nd conflicted with another large meetup happening in Sylvan, same as last year (and I switched the date to avoid that conflict, although this likely has no impact on us, some members wanted to go to that event.)

Prior voting:

Saturday, July 22 = 10 (58.8%) - Conflicts another large meetup in Sylvan (447 - 800 people)
Saturday, July 29 = 4 (23.5%)
Sunday, July 2 = 3 (17.6%) - Conflicts SASC AutoX

With the above in consideration, the consideration of the SASC events, and ultimately in an effort to hopefully make this event able for as many as possible - I've added June 24th and June 25th to the poll as new alternative dates. Please re-vote! Also hope this doesn't upset anyone! Just aiming to make it possibly for everyone to be happy but I realize it might not be possible every single person will be able to accommodate their schedule.
