Hello,
Your friendly neighbourhood Ogre here. After some discussion a few of us in the Southern Ontario region of the Great White North would like to take some steps toward bringing our tickling community at the least, a little closer. Nothing fancy to start with I was thinking along the lines of coffee and a meal out somewhere at a location central to most...perhaps two if needed. This is not meant to be a gathering in the sense we are most familiar with..simply a chance to meet of few of the people in your neighbourhood in safe friendly environment. At the worst, you might have spent a couple of hours with people that have a common interest. At best, you may make a few new friends and have a nice night out. Simple events like this begin to lay the ground work for a community that could take part in something along the lines of a more formal gathering in the future. Please use this thread to respond and give some suggestions. I will volunteer some time to this, but need not be in charge if there is someone who would really like to be the organizer. However, in the interim, let's hear from you in Southern Ontario. I will post an email address shortly to which you can send simply your nick name and city or region you hail from...and I will begin trying to sort it all out...to find some common locations. I suspect there are enough people in Toronto alone to make a sizable group..but it would nice to hear from all over the region. Remember...this is simply a social gathering nothing more. A chance to meet and say hello. Communities are built on friendship and trust...and both must begin somewhere. I prefer to start them both with Hello.
Yours in ogredom,
Ogre
