Fido/Dear all ... I don't think I will be able to make it for this great event/opportunity. I am completely bogged down with my travel plan/changes etc., I wish you all to have a good time.

Thank you everyone for their contribution to make the event so successful .
Special thanks goes to Fido and Hiren to arrange everything.

We are so glad to meet some wonderful people from all over GTA.

I will be posting pictures of this event with consensus of all participants.

This was Fido's picnic and every participant made it viable. Special thanks to all those who were skeptical of the weather and persevered. : Cheers:

A big thank you and hug to FH for making the long and treacherous trek to spend his valuable time and experiences with us.

It was very considerate of BPF to bring in those snacks and the plastic... : Cheers:

Thank you Pramodji for the gifts for the kids.

PA system and boom box was the heart of the event...San-hugoji, thank you.

Refreshing and excellent chai from Chandresh ji and Fido, not sure if anyone else brought it as well...

Good food, nice people, memorable weather, great spirit.

A big thanks to FIDO who put in so much efforts to select the location and manage the arrangements. Special thanks to your dad for sitting all alone to reserve the spot until we arrived.

A big bow.

Great picnic today. Day well spent ! alternative was to stay back at home , sulk , watch rain and clouds pass by.
My take away from the picnic :

1. Nothing can 'dampen' the spirits of CDs. Distance, thunderstorms, cherapunji type rains and lightning , all surrendered today and Sun had to come out finally.
2. Fido is in wrong profession, He should be in politics. Great administrator, coordinator, orator and crowd puller. Vote for Fido!
3. Cricket , like soccer , can be played even when its pouring heavily.
5. Useful items for a picnic - Gazibo and a PA system !

My wife will now hopefully not complain about time I spend on the CD site.

Thanks to each one of you.
