I think it's clear that if we want to ensure space we have to put some money down. I'm fine with sending in a cheque for $20. As was stated we have to commit to move this forward.

Locking in Dates
So who is taking the lead on locking in the dates and location? As much as I appreciate the over from the Canadian Armed Forces, I think the 20 payment to secure a location downtown will pale in comparision to cab fares into town, but i'm sure their moorage rates would be MUCH lower than downtown victoria harbor.
That being said, who is doing what to secure us those dates? With Jan 2nd rapidly approaching, we need to figure this out quickly to make it happen. I do believe that changing the dates is a good decision so that part seems to be pretty clear. The remaining decision is location and that appears to be between downtown and Esquimault (sp?). I would favor downtown since there is a good groove down there and for the cost...I'd be willing to belly up for the moorage fees. I do believe it will be in the $1.25 a foot range, but that is comparable to other locations so just be prepared for that.
To summarize, how do we lock these locations up? Does everyone reserve themselves to eliminate the 20 fee? Does one person do it so we have a better chance of being placed together? We need to figure this out pretty quickly. If not, I will contact them and make reservations for myself. Having organized hockey teams in the past, there is a degree of risk associated with planning these things and commiting the financial resources to make it happen. I'm not sure how many boat plan on showing up, but it looks to be in the low 20's based on the survey. Due to the location, I believe that is reasonable and perhaps we could get closer to 30 or so as the time approaches, assuming the weather is favorable.
I'll be there either way.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

We'll plan to attend...
The two Rendezvous we have attended were great fun and we really like Victoria. My travel schedule, and therefore my ability to attend this year, is going to be at the mercy of the new airplane program, but we'll commit a deposit and come if we can. If Stuart will send me his address offline, I'll send a check today.
Otherwise, I'll make a reservation as Shaun has done.
P.S. $20 Canadian is like $23 US these days.
