Sask Social Club to Operate Our Own Grey Cup Bus to Regina! |
| As
mentioned, the SSC will be running a bus to Regina for Grey Cup. Why, you
ask? Well, it’s always more fun to do things in groups, right? Also,
nobody really wants to drive all the way there (and especially all the way
back afterwards - brutal!).
The idea is to leave on Thursday, November 13 at 8:00am SHARP. You arrive late, you miss the bus. We will have some refreshments on-board, but likely not enough to cover the whole way. There is one little thing we have to tell you, though. We are allowed to have liquor on the bus from here until we hit the Saskatchewan border. Once we hit the border that is now against the law. (Didn't used to be, but now is) A recent ruling in Saskatchewan outlaws alcoholic beverages on board a bus. Operators (that means the bus company) now face heavy fines if they are caught, so be forewarned unless you wish to help cough up a $1500 fine. Chances are very good that our carrier will stop at the border so we can load bevvies down below. Sorry about that. Not our rule! We know that the Sask govt. means well, but it appears to be lunacy given none of us will be driving our cars when we arrive in Regina! Stay tuned... we will endeavour ro figure something out. It is Grey Cup after all. We might make one bar stop between the border and Moose Jaw something.The plan is to get to Regina by 5pm at the latest. We will make one meal stop enroute, perhaps in Medicine Hat, then we’re off to Regina. The bus ride there will be a lot of fun, but we want to get there to take in as much of the Regina celebrations as possible, so the shorter it takes to get there, the better it is. Once there we will drop the group off at a central location, likely Southland Mall, then you are on your own until Monday morning at 10:00am, when once again the bus will take off (on time). Bear in mind that taxis will be scarce there, so have a transportation plan before you get there. The bus will not be ferrying around people to various spots. Game ticket and accommodation are your responsibility. Price is: We now need full payment before you are confirmed. The plan is to hold our bus for one week. If we don't get enough to fill it by Monday, November 10, we will cancel the bus. It's that simple. The bus runs once we hit 35 people. Less than that and it does not run. If we don’t get 35 paid in full people by that date, the bus will not go. That’s it in a nutshell. Don’t dawdle on this one. You snooze, you lose! Call Ron at 243-9367.
