CRHA Niagara Division Members and Associates:
The weather seems to be reasonably agreeable, so no doubt we will have a blended meeting tomorrow night. We are always happy to meet in person, and always happy to see our more remote members join us on zoom, that has been running pretty good lately (thank you Gerald).
- You will have already received an email from Gerald indicating coordinates to log on to the ZOOM version of the meeting if you cannot make it in person. If you can make it in person, Lock 3 Museum, at 7 pm tomorrow, Wednesday.
- The meeting will be recorded and available to watch on-line for a period of 7 days. Peter Bowen et al take note.
- Secretary Doug has already sent out the minutes of the last meeting for review, so they will not be read at the meeting, but Doug will entertain changes if necessary before we vote on them.
- The minutes have been revised slightly thanks to remote (Arnprior – who would actually move there ??) Member David Bingham (PPFL). Thank you for your sharp eye. (a comma or period was left out)
- Bob M. and I had our usual monthly pre-meeting this morning, and please note – Bob tells us that we will start with Member’s Slides. The feature presentation will be by Keith Ballantyne, and we hope to have others with ALREADY ASSEMBLED IN A TRAY, slideshows that last about 15 minutes (OR LESS), to show off their wares. E-shows will follow the slides and word on the street is that we hope both Dean and Tammy have some of their neat and timely things to show. Shows are limited to 15 minutes or less please, to give everyone a chance.
- Thank you to Ron D., there will be a pre-meeting of the strategic minds at Ricki-Jo’s backroom at 5:15 pm. Do your best to eat, tell railfan lies, etc., pay your bill and be back at the Lock 3 Museum by 7 so we can start the meeting on time, as we have lots of shows.
- For those that come down this way to railfan before the dinner meeting, keep in mind that the canal is open as of a couple days ago, and raised bridges may already affect your travel plan timing.
- At 7 pm, we will have our AGM that encompasses our goings-on for 2024. This will be followed by our regular meeting at 7:06 PM.
Looking forward to seeing all and sundry tomorrow, one way or the other.
