tjsa Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 And someone posted this pic, I think Roy, first ever GTG at Lakair, not necessarily a planned event at that time, but a great picture nontheless, some of the members are still here, some are not. Darn, I wish I was one of those people in the picture. I know quite a few in that picture, but have never, ever, met any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motv8tr Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Cool, you've come a long way that's for sure....but for all the changes that have taken place over the years, there's one thing that has stayed constant here...

Garyv Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 The weather for the first G2G was to say the least WET WET WET, everyone had a good time ( some more than others ) and it has continued from there. As mentioned in Roy's post I was at the first one probably due to me persueing the idea with TJ. Didn't go again until 2006 and all I can say was it has got bigger and better. When you can get that many people together from all walks of life and geographical areas and they get along for 3 or more days and just enjoy each others company it's simple amazing. Hope to be there in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Tried it, I keep getting a message that page isn't there, then a link to our old board is listed. That only went back to 05 too. I must be missing something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 You gotta fuzz around and find links before one works. Not all the links come back to an archive,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setomonkey Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yes... when i was on the whats biting board, I used to announce my newsletter once a month. I still have a copy of the board that we started in 2001 , the one before proboards.... That was the board run through Zoology at UofT, right? That's the first board I "joined" when I started fishing in 1999, heard about OFC afterwards and then moved over. That board went downhill shortly after if I remember correctly...

Whopper Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Pic of the first g2g is awesome! With just a few people there at least Roy didn't have a problem with finding a place to sleep....as if he still does GaryV I was and still am simply amazed at the experience of a Lakair g2g, I sure hope to return Whopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
