Shall we look for a decent hotel? I'm not staying at that Res this year. That was painful for breakfast last year...

| Just a little update guys, The Residence will not be available it is fully booked. Probably because Aquino is a month later this year. so we have just reserved a room at La Quinta downtown which is the hotel we stayed at the first year! Booked online for $84 U.S. which was the cheapest we could find. Also for those interested Anita and I will be attending this charity event on Saturday night and will be appropriately attired for the period. https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/parkwood-foundation/events/swing-under-the-stars-at-parkwood/#detailsso if you are planning on coming and you are planning on staying a night or 2 you should hurry and book a room relatively close by as this show is getting bigger and bigger every year and rooms will sell out rapidly... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..."

| I am quite excited for this show! I live 5 minutes from the airport and have checked out your field for a few years. I would be willing to help do setup if it means I can show off my T-35 with some paint on that battlefield! No IR equipment though, but Im sure it would make good scenery |

| This year I plan on having a loaner tank there to allow new people a chance to come out and play with us. Just something simple. Heck maybe not even IR, just a tank for them to drive around... |

| Hi Dean R, Dean G here. Of course, you are more than welcome to bring your tank out and run around the field! We can always use a drone target! LOL! It is a beautiful model you have done. I followed it elsewhere online I think?
Big Mike, we pretty much have loaners every year so would appreciate another one. I am thinking of making a static with camera that people can just sit in a corner and shoot from as tanks go by. Did it rain last year? I thought it was the year before??? _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| Oh yes, that's right! Now I remember the big water the next morning... There is a planning meeting on April 14th from 1 to 3 PM which I will be attending and if anyone else is interested you are welcome to come. I am planning on being there for noon to have a poke around. Good chance to see all the new stuff they are doing down there! And yes, I will be bringing a tank to run around with... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| Yea, it is well within the 5.5km of the airport we are right beside. I am going to try and be on the grounds around 10:30 11 to start marking out the field and cutting the grass. Yea, it kinda sucks having no power there. Up to you Mike if you want to go to all that trouble... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov
