Great to see the interest in this! I'll target mid next week to get closure on a date, and then we can start to choose a location.
Until then, start to nag others in the Toronto area to sign up. @yyznomad, it's been a while since I've seen you at a do!
Here are the leading dates so far:
Thu Dec 22 - 10 people
Wed Dec 21 - 8 people
Sun Dec 11 - 7 people
Fri Dec 23 - 7 people

I'm with Adam Smith . Maybe, maybe not, but not quite invested enough to think of a date.

So we'll lock in the date of the do as Thursday, Dec 22nd. I'm going to assume it will be early evening (6:30pm or thereabouts).
Now I'll set about finding a location. If anyone has any preferences about that, then let me know - otherwise I will just call around to some downtown bars and see who'll take a reservation of that size.
I have just created a Wiki to track the confirmed attendees. Please add yourself to the appropriate section.

canopus27 - Given the naming convention used elsewhere, I'm surprised that you are not calling this a "Late Fall Do".

The real question is whether this Do will have better or worse weather than the November 5 YYC Do

That said, I wish all those attending the Do a silky smooth travel / weather experience. Maybe the newly reopened runway at YYZ will help too.

If it's the 22nd, I will have to bail early. I have a function downtown at 8 pm. so likely will only be able to stop by for a quick howdy.

In terms of location for the do ... in previous years the preference has been for a downtown bar, so that's my assumption for now. I can take the lead on making a reservation for somewhere once we have a date nailed down ... but if anyone has any preferences for a specific location then please suggest it below.
Looking foward to it!
