> The plan for meeting John Macartney is to be at the Saskatchewan Tourism
> information booth on the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border at 1:00 PM on
> Wednesday, September 2nd. John will be accompanied by members of the
> Triumph Drivers Club of Manitoba and the Manitoba Austin Healey Club. We
> will do a photo shoot at the Border sign with the cars and drivers in
> the cavalcade and then drive into Moosomin for lunch (18 km from the
> border).
>
> Proceeding west, we will head north off the Trans Canada at Whitewood
> and roughly follow the Qu'Appelle valley:

> The more the merrier for the cavalcade travelling along with John, so

> from Winnipeg, they are more than happy to have you, plus you are
> invited to their barbeque on the Tuesday, Sept 1st (see attached
> invitation and Manitoba schedule). Ed and I will be driving down to
> Rocanville (just north of Moosomin) on Sept 1st as we have a bit farther
> to travel, so will meet anyone travelling from Regina at the border.

> The trip west to Calgary is still a bit more up in the air. I received a
> copy of an e-mail that they sent to John last night with a couple of
> route suggestions, but nothing final.  They have not yet confirmed if
> they have anyone coming east to meet John. It appears from that e-mail
> that John would like to depart from Regina on the afternoon of the 3rd
> to be able to break the long drive to Calgary into two days (he has to
> be in Calgary on the 5th to meet his wife, who is flying in from
> England). This likely means that he will only be in the Regina area for
> the evening of the 2nd and morning/early afternoon of the 3rd. I have
> sent an e-mail to John requesting that he confirm his travel times and
> dates between Winnipeg and Calgary. Assuming he departs on the 3rd, he
> will likely stop in either Maple Creek (my suggestion) or Medicine Hat
> (Alberta's suggestion). If he stops in Maple Creek, anyone that wants to
> drive out and back can caravan all or part way there; Ed and I will
> overnight and caravan John as far as the Alberta border before heading
> back to S'toon. If he wants to go to Medicine Hat we will likely just
> take him as far as Maple Creek where we'll do a farewell coffee stop. I
> will let you know as soon as I get details- hopefully this evening.
