Thanks to everyone who came today. Always nice to see the regulars and the new faces. 19 in total this time. Thanks to albertaboyforlife for making the trek down from Kamloops,
(nice that the Coq even co-operated and was bare and wet!). Nice to finally meet former Calgarian Little Eric who made the trip up from Seattle. We'll do it again sometime this summer!

What a great lookin' bunch o' folks. Nice to see the "old" faces and meet some new ones today. I stayed longer than I expected and drank less... and that's always a good sign. Thanks Ted, for organizing another successful RWGTG.

Nice bunch of pictures!
Is that a record for the number of chicks (that's still OK to say, right?) at a GTG?

And Cam - you look YEAR younger without the beard!

Maybe next time, when you're not required to have winter tires on to navigate the mtn passes.

Only one YEAR Russ? I thought it might lose at least a couple of years.

[Mike Cleaver]

Great seeing everyone today and getting to talk to most people but there's never enough time!
Hope to see all of you again and some more people at the next one!
So happy to see so many wives along today too.

Greetings!
Great photos of the Radio West Get Together! Really enjoyed looking at them. Have been a very busy week and weekend for me here but finally calming down a bit so I can relax and check out Radio West postings. Looks like the Get Together was a great success and nice to see all the ladies there as well. I*ll have to mention it to Ann when I talk to her next. I talked to her earlier Sunday afternoon on the phone but had not seen Radio West photos yet. Glad to see Jolly John Tanner there as well. Over the years I always enjoyed John's radio show a lot, great personality! He was into astronomy too, wonder if he still is? Thats a great thing you do for Radio West Ted! Good job and great photos! Be nice to see Jon and Dan make it to the Get Together as well but sometimes its difficult for various reasons. I do hope to make it there as well but impossible for this one since I am still in Southern Ontario. Gord was telling me he has not visited British Columbia or Alberta either so sure would be nice that in the future he could make a trip out there from Peterborough perhaps when one of the Radio West Get Togethers is happening! I am sure he could share a lot of very interesting radio stories as well from Ontario!

Anyway all the best everyone, glad you had a nice time at the Marine Pub!

Take care, safety first, all the best Eldon

Always great to see pics like this.

I especially appreciate the pic of John Tanner. He is, and always has been a really classy fellow.

Thanks for posting these - Ted and crew.

Little Eric managed to make it up from Seattle and I'm a no-show? We could've car-pooled. My bad, but I was working anyway.

Is there ever one of these GTG's in Edmonton or Calgary? I'd love to go, but it's a long drive to Vancouver for a burger and brew!

[Mike Cleaver]

Rocky, check out sister site EdmontonBroadcasters.ca
They do at least one gathering every year.

Thanks for the tip Mike! I just checked and it looks like they are having the Spring Luncheon tomorrow. If I can shuffle the old datebook a bit, I'll head on up.
