This didn't work well this month, even though available rides were posted here and emails were sent to the people who had expressed interest. The problem I think came in a bunch of us not being organised until the last minute.
THEREFORE
PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:
If you are *driving* to Saskatoon for Sour Times, please post a message saying: DRIVING TO SASKATOON, and list the number of available seats and how much you will charge for gas money. As the seats are booked, please update the thread.
If you *need a ride* to Saskatoon, please post a message saying: "NEED A RIDE", and update the thread when you have found a ride.
The important bit is to make sure you check the Forums regularly in the two weeks immediately preceeding Alan's game, because we had people with room in their vehicles who didn't hear from anyone until they were already on the road, or it was too late to arrange pickups and such.
Also, *very* few people can accommodate three or more people, so please understand that if you can find a ride, you may not be able to find a ride for your entire Congregation. Also, that you're at the mercy of the driver, who may have time commitments you will need to respect. Also too, although I co-ordinate the Providence game, I'm not able to keep track of everyone who wants a ride/needs a ride, unfortunately. Finally, if you do find a ride to Saskatoon, you will be responsible for finding your own accommodation - this is usually the easiest part of the deal; just keep in mind that if you ask late, you may be sleeping on the cold hard floor next to the furnace, curled up with the laundry. I may or may not speak from experience. I smelled those socks for a week.
Anyway, yes. Game-travel etiquetted: Make arrangements early, be respectful, make your own arrangements. It's all good.
For those of you who were chatting in the back, this is what we'll do from now on
